It is my understanding that the US DOJ understands that Al-Timimi was neither the anthrax mailer nor the processor. I further suspect that they do not want to discuss it whatsoever because then Professor Turley will develop a defense based on the prejudice to Ali in defending against the current sedition charges. He previously was sentenced to life plus 70 years. But when I see the daughter of the former criminal head in the DC US Attorney’s Office — he’s the guy who pled the Fifth Amendment regarding his bogus sensationalized leaks — representing Al-Timimi pro bono, I say: Where does it stop? That US Attorney’s office derailed the investigation with the Hatfill leaks and then has derailed it against by falsely claiming Ivins submitted a false sample, driving him to commit suicide.
It all needs to stop with US Attorney Jeff Taylor at 9:00 a.m. tomorrow morning. Here’s some background of what I consider the correct true crime analysis regarding means, motive, modus operandi and opportunity.

Rather than being at 9 a.m. as I thought, it will be sometime Monday afternoon now. Initial press reports from the FBI science briefing on the anthrax attacks should start hitting the Internet around 6 PM on Monday evening. To the extent it focuses on the genetic investigation, I hope scientists appreciate that much of the work has already been published in the peer reviewed journal articles and are available for review. I have no problem with the genetic science — it’s the suggestion that they have sensibly moved from the 100 individuals known to have access (and an additional number not known to have access but with potential access) to Dr. Bruce E. Ivins.
