The FBI can change.

Why, just a few days ago the fed a newspaper with the story that Ivins own brother didn’t like him. Did not contact other relatives.

Then some intrepid reporter elsewhere contacted the quoted brother and discovered the brothers hadn’t talked to each other for 23 years.

Now we don’t hear about the brother any more.

That the FBI nurse-fed the Los Angeles Times with the extremely weak brother story raised red flags to me.

Dr. Bruce Ivans was 62 according to Wikipedia, so therefore, according to the story you cite, he hasn't seen his brother since he was 39. That would make sense...if he hasn't seen him in 23 years, maybe it is because he doesn't like him.

The “distance” between the brothers was mentioned in The Wall
Street Journal last week.
The reason was that the brother said they just didn’t get together much
was because when Bruce Ivins got his degree, he started to lord it
over his brother.

Sounds like Ivins got a bit of a superiority complex that rubbed
family members the wrong way.
