"one had been charged or taken into custody"

Figures.

oops! that should read:

"No one had been charged or taken into custody"

Property records list the New York homes as the addresses of Dr. Kenneth Berry, 48, a specialist on bioterrorism, who once advocated the distribution of anthrax vaccine in major cities. It was not known why the agents searched the homes, and attempts to reach Berry by telephone and e-mail were unsuccessful yesterday.

Yeah, that's a real stumper.

Federal agents investigating the deadly anthrax attacks of 2001 searched homes yesterday
belonging to the founder of an organization...

The fact that the FBI is searching his homes
I take as an almost certain guarantee
that he is innocent.

More than three dozen agents, some in protective suits, combed through two homes in this upstate New York village at the same time a similar search occurred in New Jersey.

They hoped the Anthrax would laugh itself to death.

"No one had been charged or taken into custody"

Not on the anthrax charges--but Berry was arrested yesterday in NJ on domestic violence charges for punching his girlfriend and her daughter, and released on $10,000 bond.

Hatfill, if proven innocent, has earned a televisedass-kissing by the highest FBI authority who signed off on him as the perp. He, like that little guy down in Atlanta, had his life torn apart and ruined by dolts who jumped the gun.

Hmmm....

Yesterday, I interviewed another person of interest who should be on the alert, but his response remained with the population in the study.

While I want to believe that there must be some good agents out there, so far, I have encountered only two who are thinking.

The federal government is running the show, and all the troops await further orders. They look only when and where told.

Volunteering information is frowned upon.

Intel comes from on high, without regard for what is right in front of their noses.

I am beginning to think that General Sherman's march through Georgia was very much over-rated.

It was exaggerated by the people who then, as now, simply did not wish to be disturbed, yet, when they were disturbed, they did fuss mightily about it.

There are probably old stories in the newspapers from back then, about reports on this man and that man who "were hysterical about trying to warn the citizens that Sherman would capture Atlanta," and such poor souls met with public and official-dumb's considerable suspicion and wrath.

Haven't read the article, just know a little about the case. The guy's a doctor who used to run the Jones Memorial ER. Applied for a patent for a new anthrax detection system in September, 2001.

Coincidentally, he's also been convicted of forging a will.

All Wellsville was shut down, the residents are nervous and local news is keeping it rather quiet for some reason...do they really think the locals didn't NOTICE the FBI jacket and HAZMAT suits?? The balloon rally and car show is over, so it can't be they're worried about scaring the tourists away.

As I posted twice yesterday, the perp is already in custody, in Iraq! None of the stories or articles I have read here on FR (very good ones, too, and with very good analysis from posters) provide any credible motive. I believe the the stuff came from Iraq and was disseminated by a stooge or a useful idiot. I know crimes like this rarely make sense, but this one REALLY doesnt make sense.
