Why do I believe the idea of Ivins as being the anthrax killer is a bunch of hooey? Many reasons, but primarily because the way this story is developing feels just like the way the Iraq War was sold - sensational leaks, repeated by gullible reporters, and growing hoopla despite the way that a calm skepticism allows one to see that there is "no there there." People are working way too hard to get me to believe something that makes no sense.
At this point, I'm unwilling to even accept that he did, in fact, commit suicide, though even stories covering the questions about the case treat that as fact. I believe he's dead, and probably from an overdose of pills. Have we got conclusive evidence about how those pills got into his system? I hate to sound like such a tin-foil-hat guy, but do we?
