Documents: Alleged anthrax killer lacked necessary equipment

Court documents filed this week by the Department of Justice claim that Dr. Bruce Ivins, an army scientist who allegedly mailed packages of anthrax spores to government officials and members of the press in 2001, did not possess the equipment necessary to have orchestrated the attacks.

Despite the admission, discovered by a reporter with PBS Frontline, officials say they still believe Ivins was behind the ordeal. Ivins was pronounced guilty in a case based largely on circumstantial evidence, decided shortly after he committed suicide in 2008.

The anthrax attacks killed five people and took years to investigate. Even so, an independent panel of scientists said earlier this year that the FBI did not have enough scientific evidence to produce a conviction.

Evidence, they said, proved only that he could have been behind the attacks, not that he was.

6. so an "Anthrax Conspiracy" is acceptable and almost seems plausible, but to...

aw hell, I'm not even going to finish the sentance.

I still think they were the 1, 2, punch to completely screw us over. 9/11 was the trigger, anthrax was to shut up the press and democrats who were anti-patriot act.
