Yikes! BTTT

Trust this is not another loss possibly every bit as tragic for the Bloodhounds as that of Dr. Jonathan Mann and his wife, Dr. Mary Lou Clements-Mann in the Swissair crash.

[blam]

Is there any speculation that he may be involved with the anthrax envelopes/letters?

[d14truth]

Do we have another X-file to open? I pray that Dr. Wiley has not gotten in harm's way.

[Aurelius]

Want the tinfoil hat theory* on why he might have been "disappeared"?

Suppose he had proved, once and for all, that Peter Duesberg, Karry Mullis, Mbeki, Hodgkinson, Lauritsen, Fintan Dunne, etc, and let's not forget Serge Lang, were all right; HIV is not the cause of AIDS and, possibly, AIDS is not a even a communicable disease. Billions of dollars would be at stake. People have been "disappeared" for far less.

* Too whom it may concern. I beat you to it.

I'm sure he was obliterated by a Stinger missile.

Of course, that will never come out. The cover-up is already in full swing.

[Don't Mess With Texas Women]

This event is most unlikely to have anything to do with bioterror. Imaginations are running way too wild. Wiley is outstanding and this is a sad story, but it is most likely a run of the mill crime. A structural biologics studies the three-dimensional sturcture of proteins. His reasearch efforts would focus on the structures of specific proteins from these pathogens and he is unlikley to even have the pathogens as agents growing in his lab. In other words he is unlikely to have the knowledge a terrorist would seek.

[concerned about politics]

If terrorists may not have wanted him, let's look the other way for one minute.....Anything our own goverment may want him for?

[white rose]

Any Agatha Christie fans on this thread? I remember a long time ago reading a story of hers where a bunch of bad guys kidnapped a number of leading scientists in order to use them to facilitate their plans for world domination, but I forget the details...

[go star go]

it's not going to surprise me if we find out that this is our anthrax guy who figured out the fbi was on his tail...
