  Let's see

  @CargoCult

  There's a massive difference between deciding to give up all of your personal identifiers in your own comment post, and attempting to 'out' someone by giving theirs.

  I think you're way out of line.

  I don't see how that follows. Jim White presents himself as an expert using his real name (I assume) and relates tales of himself working (as a lead scientist, no less) with nematodes and bacillus to seal his credentials, and then proceeds to flog the FBI and Justice talking points on Bruce Ivins, always presenting himself as an expert in his field here to explain things to the lowbrows.

  A quick search of the research databases reveals one (and only one) Jim F. White has worded with nematodes and bacillus, and is also an employee of the NIH and Department of Health and Human Services, who are about to , in a month or so, give away a contract for anthrax vaccine to members of the very same public-private partnership that was originally the lead suspect in the worst bioterror attack ever on U.S. soil. If true, don't you think readers of this blog deserve to know about it?

  Or, it could be that this person is impersonating the actual Jim F. White, in which case it would be doing him a favor to let him know. That is why I ASKED, right? Not declared. Haven't heard back yet...
