I don’t get the Matsumoto/NBC angle, I mean, why release it? It only raises questions why the Feds don’t have similar explanations for ABC, CBS, New York Post, and AMI.

I have a theory on that one. To make a case they wanted to try to connect as many dots as possible between Ivins and the details they knew. The more this piles up, beyond, say, 5 or 6 "connections" the more damning the whole things sounds to the public.

So, they connected Daschle and Leahy via some Catholic pro-life issue (thinking about this you could probably connect any person to Daschle and Leahy somehow, however obscure).

They connected Ivins to Princeton through the Kappa Kappa Gamma (hey, it was only a warehouse, but who cares). That was a nice move - that gave the chance to introduce his sorority obsessions as well.

They connected the pre-stamped envleopes to Ivins through a dubious printing error.

They found an email sent after 9/11 where he mentioned America and Israel and Al Qaeda - gee what a coincidence.

They found some obscure Greendale church or something he visited years ago - yup, that'll do.

Then, they thought - how can we connect Ivins to NBC? It didn't matter that Matsumoto hadn't worked there since 1999 - let's use him anyway since we've got an email with some colorful language.

The conflicting views of Dr. Ivins emerged in a day of emotional crosscurrents. At a morning memorial service at Fort Detrick in Frederick, Md., weeping Army scientists praised Dr. Ivins as a beloved colleague “known for his patience and enthusiasm for science,” as a written program put it.

It sure sounds like I'm not the only one who isn't buying what they're selling out of the Hoover building!

They should explain and release a photo of the envelope error.

And get the input of stamp collectors.

What is his link to Florida where the 9-11 hijackers lived and partied? The dead tabloid editor was in Florida.

BTW, the FBI's "Greendale" connection is to a Protestant church in Greendale Wisconson.

some reference was made to it in Focus on the Family (I belive was the name).

For some strange reaon the FBI just skipped, la, la, la, la, past the fact that Greendale Wisconsin is the birthplace of "Earth First" a known terrorist organization not averse to killing unarmed civilians.
