WASHINGTON (AP) — Bruce Ivins, the Army scientist accused of carrying out the 2001 anthrax attacks, e-mailed himself last year saying he knew who the killer was, according to court documents unsealed Wednesday.
"Yes! Yes! Yes!!!!!!! I finally know who mailed the anthrax letters in the fall of 2001. I've pieced it together!" Ivins wrote in the e-mail dated Sept. 7, 2007, according to an FBI affidavit.
"I'm not looking forward to everybody getting dragged through the mud, but at least it will all be over," Ivins allegedly wrote. "Finally! I should have it TOTALLY nailed down within the month. I should have been a private eye!!!!"

Anthrax suspect threatened reality TV contestant

Investigators also say that three weeks before Ivins took the overdose of painkillers that killed him, he posted several messages on the You Tube web site about Kathryn Price, a contestant on the ABC reality show “The Mole.” Moles should be killed, he wrote, adding that she could be attacked with a hatchet or blinded with a sharp pen.
A day later, he sent an e-mail to a Kathryn Price, in which he claimed to be a woman name Cindy Wood. “I’ve been a fan of yours ... and I wondered if you are going to have any public appearances where people could meet you,” he wrote, according to investigators.
Anthrax Case Documents Unsealed

WASHINGTON — A judge unsealed a new batch of court documents in the anthrax case on Wednesday, filling in new details of the bizarre behavior of Dr. Bruce E. Ivins, the Army scientist whom the F.B.I. has said carried out the letter attacks in 2001.
In September 2007, according to a sworn statement from an F.B.I. agent, Dr. Ivins sent himself an exuberant e-mail message under the heading “Finally! I know Who mailed the anthrax!” He did not name the perpetrator but said he was close to assembling the final proof.
“I’m not looking forward to everybody getting dragged through the mud, but at least it will all be over,” Dr. Ivins wrote, adding “I should have been a private eye!!!!” and signing the message “Bruce.”
"He's dead Jim"
he’s dead Jim.
LMAO, I swear I didn’t see that!
GMTA!
No doubt the FBI is pursuing that angle as we speak eh.
“No doubt the FBI is pursuing that angle as we speak eh.”
And sway the tide of public opinion, no doubt.
just as I suspected, I don’t believe those emails prove diddly squat.
“Yes! Yes! Yes!!!!!!! I finally know who mailed the anthrax letters in the fall of 2001. I’ve pieced it together!”
sort of like a lot of people here on this website, who write to themselves and thought it was this person or that person for whatever reasons.
The more I hear, the more I believe his death was a hit.
The more I hear, the more this guy seems like a loonjob who actually did it.
The problem is that all the evidence seems to carry the possibility that this was a setup. Yes, people do go beserk...but it shows up daily, not intermittently and the guy was still working with probably the highest security clearance there is.

Yes, and it would illustrate your point if Prunetacos responds to JusticeDepartment.
FWIW, he had lost his access to high security labs in November 2007 upon the search of his residence.
He had lost his access to all labs in March upon his spill of the relatively harmless Sterne used in developing animal vaccine.
In response to an earlier post regarding his death, I had not realized that it was Tylenol (with codeine) but also Valium.
I read all the affidavits and mostly we have seen all the material before and it is not at all probative of the crime. The notable story, in contrast, was in tne USA Today in which the reporters reveal that the FBI chose not to test the anthrax from Ivins’ workspace that he decontaminated (without reporting it) in 2002. The FBI expert Keim says the decision was “weird”. It’s more than weird. He still has samples in his lab. That would be the end of the government’s case — and when the District Court Judge would start angrily lambasting the prosecutor.
