A scientific review released Tuesday cast doubt on the US government's conclusion that scientist Bruce Ivins, who killed himself in 2008, was to blame in the 2001 case of deadly anthrax mailings.

Why is it that discussions of the 2001 anthrax attack never mention the slightly earlier anthrax attack via a letter to the small publishing house in Florida and the purported anthrax case afflicting one of the 9-11 terrorists who bought the anthrax antibiotic? The fact that the FBI and the US media never mention this makes me a conspiracy theorist.

An apology from the FBI and the media for destroying his reputation and life?

There are a lot of us out here. Not in the conspiracy group, but just researchers and witnesses with information that has largely been ignored.

Research the old posts here on FR. You’ll get an eye full.

I did hear that the anthrax was of a similar type to that developed by Iraqi programs in the 1980s

Absolutely...I always thought the attack in Florida was a walk in....Don't ask me how...

I also said that the DC sniper kid was the "mailer" in Jersey. These guys were hit and run specialists.

And as soon as it was announced that the Florida guy died of Anthrax, the sniper kid left school IN FLORIDA (where he had just begun the fall term)...and wound up out west a couple of weeks later.

All this report is saying is that the spores mailed were not directly taken out of Ivin’s flask. Removing that much material would have been noticeable and would probably have to be accounted for. A small portion of those spores could have been used to grow a larger batch to send. This neither exonerates or proves Ivin’s guilt.
