I read it the other way, that Ivins was tampering with evidence that could have incriminated him.

The other point which seems to have politicized the investigation has merit, IMHO, if I recall correctly that any lab could request samples of the strain simply by asking for them. Misdirection would have pointed away from Iraq easily.

Ok, that is a good point. But the use of Ivin’s therapist was unethical, if not illegal. His death still could have been accidental since he was paranoid and stressed.

If he was truly guilty, that will make the issue moot. But his passing of the polygraphs makes me wonder.
