Workers began pumping a potent chemical into the former headquarters of a supermarket tabloid Sunday to clean up the first target in a series of deadly anthrax attacks in 2001.
The cleanup is being led by BioONE, a company established by former New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani and Sabre Technical Services, which decontaminated other buildings hit by anthrax attacks.
"It will be a symbol that we can deal with these new risks that have developed in our new world," Giuliani said.
After a call of "Let's go" from Giuliani, workers started the flow of chlorine dioxide, a chemical used to disinfect drinking water, into the American Media Inc. building to kill the spores. A high concentration of the chemical is kept in the sealed building for 12 hours to be effective.

Isn't that cute? "Let's go". Reminiscent of the "Let's roll" battle cry.
A symbol. Isn't that sweet. Three years later they start the cleanup. And whatever happened to the investigation into who sent the anthrax? Hmmmmm? Where's that perp? Hanging out with Osama somewhere? Maybe it's not important.
That's some pretty swell dealing with these new risks, all right.
