Don’t be ridiculous. It’s a report on a FOIA request relating to a national story. It was first reported in the Frederick News-Post. Can’t people ever view a true crime matter from a factual rather than political point of view?
As a matter of fact, I believe I read a copy of the original Army investigation-which made no mention of Ivins that I can recall. (This copy had been obtained under a FOIA request by an outside group.)
One of the things noted in the original report was the ABSENCE of Ames strain in the (gathered) samples.
That's why they are not of value as a source.
