Who was behind the September 2001 anthrax attacks?

Here’s some news I missed.Edward Jay Epstein reported on December 21 that the FBI’s anthrax case has fallen apart. In 2008 the FBI declared that Dr. Bruce Ivins, who died an apparent suicide in July 2008, was the perpetrator who sent anthrax-laced letters to members of Congress and others just days after the September 11 attacks. The FBI’s investigation, apparently the most lengthy it had ever conducted, was directed primarily at scientists who had access to anthrax materials. But, Epstein reports, it turns out that Dr. Ivins did not have access to the sophisticated form of anthrax used in September 2001.

I believe it's pretty well established, via DNA and other evidence, that the strain used originated in a US Army research lab. IOW, not in Iraq.

As I recall the Iraqis obtained quite a few anthrax lines from the US by mail order.

Old thread. It may provide some insight.

Anybody who believed the FBI (Fracked Beyond Idiocy) when they made their announcement last year had to have been a moron...

Algore?

Yes. In Iowa. And we gave some to Europeans, Germans specifically, who tried to pass it on to Irag’s Department of Agriculture. Only Sadam’s personal guards intercepted the package before it could get inside the Department.

This information is courtesy of a debriefing of the AG Department head by our military.

"I believe it's pretty well established, via DNA and other evidence, that the strain used originated in a US Army research lab. IOW, not in Iraq."

Not according to what I've seen. There is as much confusion on that point as on the rest of the investigation.
