Certainly the "fibbies" have people with the investigative accumen of Freepers (who took down Dan Rather as we all recall), but this is kindergarten stuff they're coming up with.
Does the Director perhaps want us to knock this stuff down step by step? Maybe he could finally come out in the open and discuss it with us where we can focus on his understanding and not a ignorant blather in the press.
“If they only tested the anthrax in one victim’s blood that would hardly be a comprehensive picture.”
And this is not the only article mentioning only the blood.
And it is not the first article to spin the Beecher paper story.
The Beecher paper was discuss much here by scientists like TR. The paper was not about science, I recall, but about safety. The statement that public commentary about additives, much discussed by Ed Lake, TR, is wrong because the FBI says so. It was a sentence or two. I read it, it wasn’t difficult to see there was absolutely no support in the paper for the statement of no additives. Yet the FBI or someone keep pushing it as some kind of science.
