No doubt, many reasonable people who read Foster's Vanity Fair vanity piece think as you because of it. Sometimes it pays to do a little research:
Hatfill strikes back in anthrax case

FBI Follies
A decade of scandals and failed investigations By Jim Popkin & the NBC News Investigative Unit Updated: 3:16 p.m. ET Oct. 4, 2004
For more than two years, Steven Hatfill has lived life in legal limbo. Publicly branded a person of interest in the anthrax case, he's never been charged with any crime. Now Hatfill is striking back, in a libel lawsuit against one of his many armchair accusers.
Court documents show that Hatfill has filed suit against Donald Foster, an English professor at Vassar College who wrote about Hatfill in the October 2003 issue of Vanity Fair.
Hatfill claims Foster and other defendants defamed him by leaving no doubt in the minds of reasonable readers that he was imputing guilt for the anthrax attacks (as well as some anthrax hoaxes) to Dr. Hatfill.
The lawsuit seeks $10 million in damages and, along the way, makes folly of a novel investigative tool called literary forensics."
I read somewhere that Foster's hiding out in Europe.
