- Hello Jeff - Bruce Ivins may have been quirky and odd
but that does not mean he was the sole perp in the 2001 Anthrax Case.
Stephen Hatfill was equally as quirky but we learned that he had been exonerated
and rightfully received compensation for the horror that the FBI put him
through, although the compensation cannot give him his life back. The
FBI put quite a few scientists through hell and had many informing on one
another.
-
- Dr. Ivins death did the FBI a favor, gave them an opportunity
to say "case closed." Well, Congress is not ready to close the
case and the FBI and DOJ may have to keep digging.
-
- I am not convinced, on the face of the evidence, that
Dr. Ivins was the Anthrax attacker. I feel the FBI has the wrong man,
just as they had with Dr. Hatfill and Dr. Berry (Dr. Berry never being
charged but the FBI leaked his name to the press)
-
- The evidence is weak, the strongest argument for his
being the attacker is the flask in his lab. Plenty of people had access
to that flask. Because he was so quirky and admittedly downright odd,
he made a good subject for the investigation. He may have had some mental
problems, even worsening problems but that still does not mean he is guilty
beyond a reasonable doubt. I still have doubt and want a "real"
investigation to take place, and let the chips fall where they may.
-
- I wondered why some of the logical suspects, the biggest
names, one or more who attended Clinton's White House meetings on bioterror,
were left out of the suspect list. Some logical suspects were never mentioned
and never considered and certainly never paraded in the press.

- Congress Requests Further Investigation Of 2001 Anthrax
Case
-
- By Paul West
- The Baltimore Sun
- 3-1-10
-
- A measure requiring further federal investigation into
the 2001 anthrax attack that killed five people was approved Thursday by
the House of Representatives. It was proposed by two skeptics of a recently
closed FBI probe that blamed the deadly attacks on Bruce Ivins, a microbiologist
at the Army biodefense lab at Fort Detrick in Frederick.
-
- Maryland Republican Rep. Roscoe Bartlett, who represents
Frederick, and Democratic Rep. Rush Holt, from the New Jersey district
where the anthrax letters were mailed, want the director of National Intelligence
to investigate potential foreign connections to the attacks.
-
- Ivins committed suicide in 2008 after coming under FBI
scrutiny. "His colleagues say that he would not have done it,"
said Bartlett, who complained that Fort Detrick officials have refused
to let him speak with scientists who work there. Holt said "many questions
remain" about the FBI's handling of the case, including whether a
foreign connection was "overlooked, ignored or not pursued."
