Commenting on the fine powder sent Senator Daschle and Leahy, Professor Meselson said: “Only nations, probably, have figured out how to do this,” But, he adds, this means “how to do it is in the minds of people,” including former employees of weapons programs in the Soviet Union and the US.
And he said that it didn’t make much sense to have protracted debate over forensics — that was best left to the experts doing the work for the FBI.
That hardly warrants your five years of insults, regardless of the historical background. Both seem like perfectly reasonable statements and he’s barely spoken or written more than a few sentences more. As for his letter in which he joined Dr. Alibek, Dr. A, while a stand-up guy with undisputed expertise, is disqualified because of the FBI’s intense investigation into whether he obtained the access to know-how from Ken.
Moreover, it was somewhat reckless to think Professor Meselson would “lie” about not seeing silica when the same SEMS are there for the retained experts to observe.
You say it would be clearly observable and yet you are talking about a weight of 1 percent rather than 20 percent. And you’re not a microbiologist. And they didn’t see all the SEMS.
So you might have been more constructive and instead relied upon his expert opinion: “Only nations, probably, have figured out how to do this [but] how to do it is in the minds of people” and moved on.
I have proof that Meselson lied about Sverdlovsk, and eyewitnesses who would testify that he ignored pathology reports he was shown (at great risk to the courageous Soviet doctors who concealed them from the KGB). Let me know when Meselson wants to pursue this in court.
