The more revelations there are in the Bruce Ivins case, the more questions there are.

    @seanmcbride

    Please read what Ivins was responding to. In that Imam Hendi is saying very reasonable things, including let's Jews and Muslims of Frederick meet each other, and the response from Rabbi Kosman is something like - Hendi is a liar, Islam is for the death of every Jew and now every Christian as well.

    My response too could very well be like Ivins.

    ---

    Regarding the phrase "decreed the death of every Jew and every American" why quote the phrase when you can quote the whole sentence including "Osama bin Laden has just decreed death to all Jews and all Americans" - if that somehow connects things for you then virtually **every newsroom** in America in 2001 is guilty of anthrax terrorism.

    ---

    As I said before, the flask RR-1029(?) is the most significant piece of evidence. Briefly, **it seems** Ivins withheld contents from this flask and substituted them with something else when asked for samples, and this flask turned out to be the DNA-match including mutated anthrax for the mailed anthrax.

    As I said, **it seems**. Later on, the FBI seized the flask and found the DNA match.
