Does anyone remember the photo editor that died in the anthrax attack?

[J_J_]

The U.S. Justice Department said this afternoon it was convinced Bruce Ivins, an Army microbiologist, sent the letters laced with anthrax powder that killed five — including Bob Stevens, photo editor at American Media Inc. in Boca Raton — sickened 17, and shut down government offices and media outlets around the country.

"As disclosed previously, the Amerithrax investigation found that the late Dr. Bruce Ivins acted alone in planning and executing these attacks," the Justice Department said in a statement.

In July 2008, the 62-year-old Ivins committed suicide as the FBI was preparing to charge him in the attacks and seek the death penalty.

"The trail of anthrax spores in postal machinery and equipment shows the letter was originally sent to The National Enquirer at its previous address, then forwarded to the AMI building, which contained offices for both The Enquirer and The Sun, and ended up in the hands of The Sun's photo editor, Bob Stevens, 63."

The Enquirer recently published this...



Just a coincidence I am sure.

Interesting that a DUer noticed a change at the National Enquirer

5. Even DUers underestimate BFEE's extent of power that has plagued this nation since WW2.

Even here at DU.

6. not naming names, but someone who recently died was definitely on their shit list

and being suicided is definitely one of the ways they work as evidenced by what happened to the guy who sent the anthrax who apparently acted alone but had a personal vengence against national enquirer.

But she was almost 90.
