Is Rosenberg still giving briefings to congressional staffers & the FBI or was that a one-time deal?
Here's what I think we would find ( If we were privy to the details !):The good doctor may be into spousal abuse,and his long-suffering victim may have blown the whistle on him.
The bit about the forged deed does NOT suggest high moral character;but involvement with anthrax ????????
"Did the *Keystone Kops* FBI run out of "leads" on Hatfill?"
Not funny! The WOT is nothing to be sarcastic about!
I think they're going to pin it on Richard Jewell.
Thanks for the ping!
Looks like a 'Honey-specialty-trap' operation.......must be some real 'deep' stuff going on here.....
Lotsa-Fog......
/sarcasm
I've noticed this about alot of people who commit one or two serious crimes...and they really start to stress out. Usually it relates back to the major crime they committed. I'll even make this comment which some folks may object to...Mr. Hacking out of Utah...who murdered his wife...I don't think he started out with her as number one. I think he has committed at least one other murder prior to this one...and the stress became part of his lie.
Sorry, but when the get there, the orders come from the TOP DOWN. Could hope for viable media competition.
Lots of coinkydinks -- Berry left Wellsville Hospital in October 2001 to work in Pittsburgh? Not what I'd call a hop, skip or jump from upstate NY. Instead of recording statements of surprise from the Wellsville Hospital CEO, I would think it more appropriate to ask WHY Berry no longer works there, and why he quit when he did (the timing is more than a bit relevant).
Then we have another neighbor saying Berry told him that he works with the FAA "investigating crashes" -- an enterprising reporter should be able to check that one out fairly easily.
And then when the family is hustled out so that their home might be thoroughly searched, he lashes out at them. Did a family member suggest that Daddy is a terrorist? Did he take especial umbrage at that? (If one of my family members suggested that I was a terrorist, I would either laughingly or very seriously be able to deny it with no rise of emotion on my part.)
Maybe this is Hatfill's lucky day.
Helms: FBI owes Berry big-time apology; Pastor calls Dr. Berry a 'national treasure'
By JOHN ANDERSON/Daily Reporter
WELLSVILLE -- As Pastor Richard "Dick" Helms watches the coverage of the FBI investigation into his friend Dr. Kenneth Berry, he is shocked that anyone could imply Dr. Berry would be connected to deadly anthrax mailings.
The weekend after Sept. 11, 2001, Helms married Dr. Berry and his wife at the Knights Creek Church wedding chapel where he was ministering at the time.
The FBI said they searched Dr. Berry's house Thursday on East Pearl Street in Wellsville and his old apartment on Maple Avenue "related to the FBI's ongoing investigation into the origin of the anthrax-laced letters mailed in September and October of 2001, which resulted in the deaths of five individuals and serious illness to 17 others." Dr. Berry also had a summer home in New Jersey owned by his father searched, his car at the airport in Pittsburgh and an apartment he once lived in there as well. The FBI has not said if they found any traces of anthrax and they have not charged Dr. Berry in connection with anthrax.
Dr. Berry founded an organization called PREEMPT Medical Counter-Terrorism in 1997. He filed a provisional patent for a system in October 2000 and filed the actual patent application Sept. 28, 2001, 10 days after the first anthrax letters were postmarked. He touted the system as an effective way to respond to bioterrorism attacks.
Helms is the Webmaster for the PREEMPT Web site.
"They didn't find anything and they wont find anything," said Helms. "If there was anyone more dedicated to protecting the American people from biochemical terrorism, I do not know who it would be. He developed the protocol and procedures before it was fashionable. He did the training for medical and first responders -- and he did it all with little or no reimbursement -- a lot of this out of his own pocket.
"Hey, this man cares!" Helms added.
Dr. Berry was the director of the emergency room at Jones Memorial Hospital in Wellsville from December of 1996 to October of 2001. He has worked at a hospital in Pittsburgh, commuting by plane while living in Wellsville. He was married and had seven children from two relationships.
On Thursday, Dr. Berry and his family went to breakfast in New Jersey. When they returned, the FBI was searching the summer home. When the family went to a nearby hotel, a fight broke out, according to police. Dr. Berry was charged with four counts of domestic abuse and a restraining order was placed on him from seeing his family.
"I can not even comprehend or imagine the stress they are going through and it's a mixed family to begin with," said Helms. "I am very upset that has become part of the story. Ken is a super guy, he cares, you have to get to know him. There is absolutely no way he could have done this. I have two words to summarize this whole thing: absolutely absurd."
Helms does not see how Dr. Berry can go back to work at any hospital or work in his chosen field of counter terrorism.
"The FBI owes him an apology, big-time," said Helms. "They harmed him and it looks like they harmed his family. I like both the agents who are primaries in this area -- they also questioned me, because I am a Webmaster for Preempt.org."
Helms said the Web site has not been updated in a while. Not many people in Wellsville have said they were close friends with Dr. Berry, and many neighbors really didn't know him. But Helms said that is not unusual.
"He worked at the hospital he worked in counter terrorism. He didn't have time to make a lot of friends, but the ones he did make are very loyal," said Helms. "You won't find a lot of (people who were) friends with Ken Berry ... and ones he work with call him an S.O.B., but they call me that, too! Anyone who has anyone who worked for someone will have something bad said about them."
Helms said Dr. Berry cold not be tied to mailing out anthrax letters in 2001.
"Want a practical reason? He was getting ready to get married!" Helms says emphatically.
Helms also defends Dr. Berry's character.
"I think they have damaged his reputation to the point the United States has lost a wonderful asset," said Helms. "He was a true American asset, if not a national treasure.
"He's a little unusual but most brilliant people are different. And he's different," Helms continued. "You get underneath that and he's got a heart the size of Texas for an American."

"The weekend after Sept. 11, 2001, Helms married Dr. Berry and his wife at the Knights Creek Church wedding chapel where he was ministering at the time."
Did they honeymoon in a Princeton dorm room across the street from the mailbox? Kinda doubt it.
Maybe that's why they apparently framed Dr. Berry. The FBI does NOT appreciate anyone making waves about TWA Flight 800.
