>>>>Images of agents in protective suits removing items from his home in full view of TV cameras angered the doctor. They also raided his parent's beach home in New Jersey where he was staying with his family as cameras captured footage from above.

Why wasn't NJ ever named as an axis of evil in GWB's SOTU?

"The FBI raid, complete with reporters and photographers on scene, served as a catalyst in the subsequent violent disintegration of Dr. Berry's family. Berry's lawyer, Clifford E. Lazzaro, told reporters, "The great pressure of being scrutinized by the federal government . . . would be enough to destroy the average citizen." William Berry, father of Kenneth Berry, stated, "They have been on him for three years. They have no leads,"

Interestingly, that puts the investigation start date in the vicinity of September 18, 2001, the date of the first anthrax mailing.

Curious, no?

-A dispute with his wife on the day of the raids led to assault charges and she has since filed for divorce.-

What, did he smack her around a bit, or vice versa?

Who put the bug in the FBI's ear?

"You will remember the 1997 B'nai B'rith bacillus cereus incident was also of great interest to another subject of interest in the anthrax investigation.

Amazing the people who were on the DoD payroll as consultants to be protecting the country from bioterror have turned out to compose the small pool of suspects in the crime of killing Americans with anthrax.

Berry was a consultant on WMD to the Defense Department, and the FAA, and a part time pilot. But how did he ever presumably get access to anthrax?"

"Accused scientist says letter links to anthrax mailers

The FBI won't release an anonymous letter, which in the days before the 2001 fatal anthrax mailings, accused an Egyptian-born scientist of plotting biowarfare against the United States, saying it would divulge secret sources in the continuing investigation.

In a July 7 note citing the sources, the FBI denied Ayaad Assaad, the letter's subject, access to the evidence. Mr. Assaad said he's convinced it is linked to a person or a group responsible for the anthrax mailings that killed five persons.

"They know damn well that this letter is connected to the anthrax sender," he said, adding that the FBI's refusal to provide a copy suggests "they're trying to protect whoever sent it."

He said he suspects it led investigators to the Army's biodefense lab at Fort Detrick.

Asked about the anonymous letter Friday, a spokeswoman at the FBI's Washington field office said it is "unrelated to the anthrax mailings."

However, that assertion hasn't stopped the bureau from withholding it for nearly two years from Mr. Assaad.

According to the July 7 note to him, in which the Justice Department denied his latest request for a copy of the letter, releasing it "could reasonably be expected to disclose the identities of confidential sources and information by such sources....."

The government is never going to arrest and charge anyone in this case, but by cracky, they're going to see to it that a bunch of innocent guys are never allowed to get jobs again and are ruined!

I feel so much safer now (eyeballs rolling up to the ceiling).

"The government is never going to arrest and charge anyone in this case,"

Perhaps - perhaps not. Why do you think not?


BTW - I've wodered why this "FBI" guy would want to know
who wrote the Quantico letter AFTER Assaad already spoke to the FBI about it. Any thoughts?


"On the night of March 12, Ayaad Assaad received a call

from a person representing himself as a Louisiana F.B.I.

agent. The caller demanded to know if Assaad had been told

who wrote the Quantico letter. To prove his credentials, the

caller rattled off personal information from as far back as

Assaad's Egyptian high school -- the Arabic name of which he

pronounced correctly. Assaad believes he recognized the

caller's source of information: he was likely reading from

Assaad's confidential SF-171, a U.S.-government employment

application form that had been on file at USAMRIID. "

Why do you think not?

Because I simply don't think the government really has any clue who actually did it, and we're closing in on four years now since the events took place.

Any law enforcement person will tell you that when that much time passes by, the odds of making a bust are remarkably slim. Look at how difficult it was to bust the Unabomber, who was a serial criminal who committed his acts over a period of almost 20 years. And if his brother hadn't turned him in, he might well have remained on the loose to this day.

Brother Dave Kaczynski

As you must know, there is no statute of limitations on murder. Evil Genius or not, the Unabomber insisted upon having his Manifesto published for the world to see.

Mental illness or vanity or both finally did him in. His brother recognized certain peculiarities in the writing and the jig was up.

Wonder if the anthrax mailer has a brother?

An accomplice or two might be good enough, no?

Can they really trust one another still

... and for how long??

Not much else reminds one of TGS. He is 1 of a kind.

Except for his aliases of course.
