"do you conclude why Barbara Hatch Rosenberg initially went after Dr. Hatfill?"

It goes back to the Biological and Toxic Weapons Convention in July, where the U.S. government walked out because they didn't want inspections.

Then, the next thing that happens is that letters get mailed containing anthrax that was traced back to a U.S. Army facility at Ft. Detrick.

She contacted people she knew, and Hatfill's name came up. He had worked at Ft. Detrick, and he had been featured in some article about how bioweapons can be cooked up at home. They didn't say Hatfill was the culprit, they just said he was the "most likely" person to be the culprit.

Agreed. But my point was "why Hatfill and not Ivins?"

She contacted people she knew, and Hatfill's name came up. He had worked at Ft. Detrick, and he had been featured in some article about how bioweapons can be cooked up at home.

So it looks like it was just that he was the first one to fit some assumptions and suspicions...and she stuck with it.

IIRC, she claimed never to have fingered him by name, yet she did claim at one point to have pushed the FBI.

What's she up to these days...any idea?
