The "evidence" released thus far by the FBI has its shoddy, dubious aspects, and Greenwald is right to point out these out. And, of course, since Ivins is kaput, we'll never hear what defense he could have made in a court of law.
I incline to the view that the anthrax case was a "false flag" job pulled by (who else?) warmongering Zionist elements in the U.S. or Israeli governments to get the American people even more hot and bothered against those evil Iraqis.
About the FBI: Do you remember the show "The FBI" (ABC-TV, 1965-74)? It starred Efrem Zimbalist, Jr. as Inspector Lewis Erskine, a brisk, efficient G-man who, at the end of the hour, always got his man. This was the 1960s, when the FBI was revered by most Americans (including my family--we sat in front of the TV every Sunday night to watch it).
Well, that was the J. Edgar Hoover-pushed legend. From what we know today, decades later, the FBI's halo has been badly tarnished.
