2. The FBI didn't put Bruce Ivins away.
He committed suicide during the investigation.

3. And he probably wasn't the guy
From Glen Greenwald:

It's certainly possible that once the FBI closes its investigation and then formally unveils its evidence -- which apparently will happen tomorrow -- a very convincing case will be made that Bruce Ivins perpetrated the anthrax attacks and did so alone. But what has been revealed thus far -- through the standard ritual of selected Government leaks which the establishment media, with some exceptions, just mindlessly re-prints no matter how frivolous -- is creating the opposite impression. The FBI's coordinated leaking is making their claim to have solved the anthrax case appear quite dubious, in some instances laughably so.

One glaring and important exception to the dynamic of uncritical media recitation is this morning's New York Times article by Scott Shane and Nicholas Wade, which evinces very strong skepticism over the FBI's case thus far and discloses facts that create more grounds for skepticism. Given everything that has happened over the last seven years -- not just with the anthrax attacks but with countless episodes of Government deceit and corruption -- it's astonishing (and more than a little disturbing) how many people are willing, even eager, to assume that the Government's accusations against Ivins are accurate even without seeing a shred of evidence to support those claims.

5. That's what concerns me...just a little.
The scumbaggers aren't up to that level of sophistication, but madness is contagious.

6. Not to worry, the Anthrax Assassin was almost certainly a Bushie Intelligence PsyOp
Edited on Wed Mar-24-10 07:29 PM by tom_paine
so one would expect that they have already murdered whoever actually did it for them or otherwise has their own agent under control.

It's just my own opinion from a decade of informed observation, but I don't think a renewed Anthrax Psyop by the Bushies on Democrats is very likely, especially since the Bushie Corporate Media has basically vanished that event down the memory hole.

Was just about to post something similar. The real terrorists got voted out of office, so not to worry. For now.
