    From the AP article...

    "Social worker Jean Duley testified at a court hearing in Frederick on July 24 in a successful bid for a protective order from Ivins - who five days later committed suicide - that he "actually attempted to murder several other people."

    - What is required for a successful protective order? If she met the standard why was he not arrested immediately? I would think attempted murder was reason enough.

    Ivins took a fatal dose of Tylenol as federal authorities monitored his movements and prepared to charge him with the murder of five people who died from anthrax poisonining in the weeks after the Sept. 2001 terror attacks.

    - If he had anthrax why did he use Tylenol to kill himself? Very strange..

    An audio recording of the court session was obtained by The New York Times and posted it on its Web site.

    - Has anyone found this audio?

    "As far back as the year 2000, the respondent has actually attempted to murder several other people, either through poisoning. He is a revenge killer. When he feels that he's been slighted or has had - especially toward women - he plots and actually tries to carry out revenge killings," Duley said.

    - again, if he was really that much of a danger why was he not arrested before?

    This whole is just too bizarre.
