Duley's story in the Frederick Post -
http://www.fredericknewspost.com/sections/news/display.htm?StoryID=78406
Duley was concerned because she said she knew him so well, so she tried to get as many details about the attacks as possible. The next day, July 10, she called the Frederick Police Department who removed him from USAMRIID at Fort Detrick and had him committed to Frederick Memorial Hospital.On July 11, he called her twice just before 4:30 a.m. She told the court the first message was just "sort of a ranting, blaming me for having this done to him. It was sort of just rambling." In the second message Ivins told her "obviously we no longer have a therapeutic relationship and how could I do this to him."
After he was transferred to Sheppard Pratt Health System, a psychiatric hospital in Baltimore, he called her again at 11:25 a.m. July 12.
"That one was rather scary," Duley said in the recording. "He very calmly thanked me for ruining his life and opening ... allowing the FBI to now be able to prosecute him for the murders and that it was all my fault. And É it's going to be my fault that they can now get him."
Drawbaugh did not enter the telephone recordings into evidence for the court because FBI agents had taken them for their investigation.
Ivins was supposed to have a permanent commitment hearing at Sheppard Pratt, but Duley said his attorney advised him to check himself in voluntarily so that he may leave when he wished. Drawbaugh told the court he probably was being released from the hospital as the hearing was going on. --
She decided to get the peace order after an FBI agent working the case suggested it.
Drawbaugh: "At this time, Ms. Duley, are you fearful for your personal safety?"
Duley: "I am and so is the FBI."

The only perceived weakness that Anderson could discern, and not all people would consider it a weakness, he said, was that Ivins "had relatively thin skin.""His personality style was such that he was sensitive to public opinion," Anderson said Sunday. "There are individuals in our community whose lives are centered around protesting government programs. They're not necessarily interested in facts, but pushing an agenda."
Ivins would take it personally when seemingly unfounded criticism was aimed at something he believed in, Anderson said.
"He was concerned with how the Institute was perceived and how he was perceived," Anderson said. "That manifested itself in the care he took in conducting his research."
.....
The doctor and scientist paused briefly after being asked if he believes Ivins committed suicide.
"Oh, yeah," he said. "I think all of the circumstances put him in a place where he felt he had no place to go."
Anderson said he became aware in June that the FBI had taken items out of Ivins' lab.
"The FBI took all of the stored things in his lab freezer," Anderson said. "They basically destroyed his life's work. I think that's what upset him the most."
Anderson said it is "highly incomprehensible" to him that Ivins would be regarded as the perpetrator in this case simply because he had access to anthrax.
He said he last saw Ivins around July 6. Ivins told him the FBI was stalking him, following him everywhere, Anderson said.
"He was animated and appropriately concerned, but certainly not out of control."
Anderson does not believe Ivins is responsible for the 2001 anthrax deaths.....
About 1:15 a.m. Sunday, Frederick County Emergency Communications received a medical emergency call from Ivins' 622 Military Road home, said Lt. Shawn Martyak of the Frederick Police Department. Officials found Ivins unresponsive on the floor in a room in his home.At the time when officers were called, nothing indicated the medical emergency was a suicide, he said.

You're way behind the times. We've read Ivins' letters in the Frederick News Post AND the articles that Ivins was responding to.
e.g., click on my signature.
Thank you, I'm quite aware of my biases. That is why I posted the entire letter instead of excerpts so that people had everything in front of them.
I'll go off-topic for once and say that myself and any number of people of the same ethnic background believe that at least some of the 9/11 hijackers were really cover identities for the air force pilots of a "friendly" (Islamic) country. The suspicion arises in how the planes were flown; especially see the earliest reports. As to whether that country would be so stupid, the answer is a resounding yes. The coverup of 9/11 then consists in hiding the role that this country played. Reasons for the coverup include that it is not the country the administration wanted to go to war with, and public opinion would have demanded that if there were a war it be with this country. One of the results is that all that country's entry/exit controls are now American systems and presumably run a feed to the US.
Is it worth talking about? No - partly because it reflects my bias, partly because there is no way forward to prove or disprove the case.
Why even mention it? Because all the 9/11ers here are not so kind. Plausibility-wise, my scenario isn't deficient compared to all the other 9/11ers on this board.
Lastly, I've lost all interest in any further dialogue with you.
Has Ivins travelled abroad? If so, where?

""Col. Anderson says Dr. Ivins told him about the lapse in safety shortly after it occurred, contradicting Army findings in 2002 that Dr. Ivins had told no one."
