This is the third time that The Washington Post has mentioned the "grand jury" investigating the anthrax case.

No one else has written about this grand jury. No one.

I have no doubt that such a grand jury exists. But no one seems to have any information about what the grand jury is doing. The Washington Post's information seems to consist of just one item which they repeat over and over: Hatfill's friends and former employers have been asked to supply documents. Period.

But Hatfill's friends and former employers would only provide documents showing that Hatfill is INNOCENT. They would provide proof that he was at a wedding on Oct. 6, they would provide his time sheets proving that he was working long hours, etc.

What's most interesting to me about the reporting on this press conference with Michael Mason is that every reporter picks out only the facts that interest him.

The Washington Post reports on the fact that Mason regrets that Hatfill was called a "person of interest".

Reuters reports that Mason apparently thinks that the anthrax mailer didn't want to harm anyone.

USA Today reports that the FBI apparently hasn't been able to successfully reverse engineer the anthrax perfectly.

I wonder why the New York Times hasn't written anything and what they will emphasize.

FIVE disparate people (well, 2 were in the same location) die of inhalation anthrax, the FBI with all their sophisticated equipment is unable to reverse-engineer the process, and the mailer(s) didn't want to harm anyone? With all due respect to Mr. Mason, who no doubt is much smarter than I am, I find this opinion to be rather incredible.

After the Dr. Z debacle, they might be a little touchy about covering anthrax.

The minds of the FBI (not to mention several uninformed Freepers) have already decided it was Hatfill. Please stop confusing them with facts that prove otherwise...
