Did FBI get wrong man for anthrax killings?

A decade after wisps of anthrax sent through the mail killed 5 people, sickened 17 others and terrorized the nation, biologists and chemists still disagree on whether federal investigators got the right man and whether the F.B.I.’s long inquiry brushed aside important clues.

Now, three scientists argue that distinctive chemicals found in the dried anthrax spores — including the unexpected presence of tin — point to a high degree of manufacturing skill, contrary to federal reassurances that the attack germs were unsophisticated. The scientists make their case in a coming issue of the Journal of Bioterrorism Biodefense.

F.B.I. documents reviewed by The New York Times show that bureau scientists focused on tin early in their eight-year investigation, calling it an “element of interest” and a potentially critical clue to the criminal case. They later dropped their lengthy inquiry, never mentioned tin publicly and never offered any detailed account of how they thought the powder had been made.

- No.
A scientific review released Tuesday in the 2001 case of deadly anthrax mailings cast doubt on the US government’s conclusion that scientist Bruce Ivins, who killed himself in 2008, was to blame.

There was insufficient scientific evidence to support the FBI’s assertion that the anthrax in letters sent to prominent politicians and journalists in the wake of the September 11 attacks originated within Ivins’ lab, it said.

“It is not possible to reach a definitive conclusion about the origins of the B. anthracis in the mailings based on the available scientific evidence alone,” said the report by the National Academy of Science.

The anthrax mailings, which killed five people and injured 17, rattled an already jittery American public just days after Al-Qaeda militants hijacked passenger jets and plunged them into the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and a Pennsylvania field.

The review found that anthrax contained in a flask, known as RMR-1029, in Ivins’ lab shared genetic similarities with spores in the mailed letters but “was not the immediate source of spores used in the letters.”

“One or more derivative growth steps would have been required to produce the anthrax in the attack letters,” the report said, adding that the letters sent to Washington had different characteristics than those sent to New York.

“They have enough physical and chemical differences between the two that they must have come from separate batches,” said lead author of the report Alice Gast.

“The difference between those letters and the flask indicate there had to be an additional growth step to create letters with the additional characteristics that they found,” she told reporters.

The FBI concluded that the mailed anthrax must have come from a single flask of parent spores that Ivins had created and which he alone had maintained.

- Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld owns a considerable number of shares in a corporation called Gilead Sciences;
  Gilead owns the intellectual property rights to Tamiflu;
  Tamiflu is a pharmaceutical touted by the Bush Administration as a remedy for anthrax (although in fact it is not indicated for anthrax);
  the anthrax attacks on the United States vastly increased the demand for Tamiflu, and thus increased the value of Gilead, and thus made Rumsfeld a lot of money;
  the anthrax for the attacks almost certainly came from an American military laboratory at Fort Detrick;
  one of the named suspects at the lab is Philip Zack, a man who left the lab in 1991 after being involved in a racist attack against a fellow scientist of Arab origin, and a man who was observed having unauthorized access to the area of the lab containing the Ames strain of anthrax used in the attacks, around the time that some of the anthrax went missing (he had such access in 1992, after he had left the lab);
  Philip Zack attracted a mysterious lack of official interest in the investigation of the anthrax attacks (as opposed to the completely innocent Steven Hatfill, who was hounded by the FBI, almost as if he were a distraction); and
  Philip Zack, as neatly described here (found via here), went on to work for Gilead (identified from a scientific paper published in December 2000).
  I know it is a small world, but is it that small?
the fbi?? i was under the impression that whatever the fbi investigated had a tendency to dissapear and FU to the american people.

the glorious fbi, made the kennedy assasination evidence dissapear, made 80+ tapes of the pentagon attack on 9-11 dissapear, made the black boxes from ground zero dissapear and has been noted in the assisnation of many key american figures from general patton to ernest hemingway.

hooray for the GLORY of the FBI. where would security be today without this BRAVE institution?
- thinking the same thing….
The FBI got everything wrong. Are they going to arrest themselves? I guess not.

They were the main 911 cover uppers.
- Bacchus investigating Ba’al.
He’s dead, just like many other scape goat .
Regardless what kind of person he was, he was wronged and will be smeared in history books that pollute our INDOCTRINATION CENTERS
