Washington (CNN) -- Old mental health records for the chief suspect in the 2001 anthrax attacks suggest Bruce Ivins should have been prevented from holding a job at a U.S. Army research facility in Maryland, according to a report from a panel of behavioral experts commissioned by the Department of Justice.
"The psychiatric records were quite eye-opening," said Gregory Saathoff, the lead author of the report. "The criminal behaviors involved a strong component of revenge," he added, "that he claimed he had engaged in as well as planned to engage in" in documented interviews with psychiatrists dating back to the 1970s.

The report praises the mental health care professionals who called the police on Ivins in 2008, since it was clear that he intended to kill many of his co-workers and go out in a "blaze of glory."
Parker Brothers makes great medical records. I’d be very skeptical of any medical records produced without sworn supporting testimony from the physicians themselves, and of those, only the ones who do not work for the government. And of those, only the ones who are retired and have left everything to their children.
I read what you’ve posted on your website. It isn’t convincing.
One question: Why did Ivins mail anthrax to a man at the National Inquirer married to the 9/11 terrorist’s landlady?
After researching all of the clues published at the time of the attacks, it was my common sense conclusion that Al Qaida was knee deep into those attacks. I’ve never understood the government’s need to cover up the obvious by accusing innocent disturbed people.
Stevens wasn't married to any 9/11 terrorist's landlady. Gloria Irish, the wife of Sun editor Michael Irish, had rented an apartment to two of the 9-11 hijackers, Hamza Alghamdi and Marwan al-Shehhi.
Ivins didn't mail the letter to Bob Stevens. He mailed it to the National Enquirer. Bob Stevens never saw the letter. No one knows exactly how Stevens became infected, but his age may have been a critical factor. He was 63 and the other victim at AMI was 73.
AMI employed a lot of people. It really isn't much of a coincidence that one of them had an innocent connection to the terrorists who stayed in Florida for awhile.
It appears that what you are saying is: You don't care what the facts say, you're going to believe what you want to believe.
That's a very common point of view.
It's been nearly TEN YEARS since the attacks. A LOT of new and better information has been published since the time of the attacks. The new and better information clearly shows that Ivins was the anthrax mailer.
I’ve never understood the government’s need to cover up the obvious by accusing innocent disturbed people.
You probably can't understand it because it's preposterous nonsense. Bruce Ivins was diagnosed as "homicidal, sociopathic with clear intentions" a year before the anthrax attacks. It was after he told a psychiatrist about his plans to MURDER a young woman who once worked for him.
The facts show there is absolutely NO DOUBT that Bruce Ivins was the anthrax mailer.
TWA800 is another.
The government is not a credible witness IMHO.
So, because you don't like something "the government" once did, and you don't believe what "the government" reported about TWA-800, you will never trust anything "the government" ever says about anything?
There's no chance that the NTSB was correct in their findings about TWA-800??
You don't have to believe what "the government" says about Bruce Ivins and the anthrax attacks. The facts are very clear that Ivins was the anthrax mailer. You can study the facts for yourself. The only people who aren't convinced are people who demand home movies of him making and mailing the anthrax. And, even then, they'll probably assume that the government somehow faked the movies.
You may be quite right on your anthrax case. I'd bank on you long before I'd bank on any case brought by the government. My point is that their own examples of upholding the peoples rights is so sickening and full of lies that they are their own worst enemy in such matters.
