Do you know a bombshell when you see it? I do.
Lewis Libby was one of the leading neoconservatives in the Bush 43 administration who used the 9/11 attacks and the closely linked 9/11 anthrax attacks to drive the United States into a disastrous multi-trillion dollar war against Iraq.
If the bogus assault on Bruce Ivins is part of a cover-up, what is being covered up? The pieces are beginning to come together quite nicely.
The Anthrax Prosecutor: The Daughter of the Defense Attorney for BushCo’s “Germ Boy”

Guess who they've got prosecuting the anthrax case? Amy Jeffress, daughter of Bill Jeffress, the guy who was last seen trying to keep Scooter Libby, known within the Administration as "Mr. Germ," out of the pokey. Yeah. That gives me confidence in the investigation.
Here's Jeremy Scahill on Libby's role as "Germ Boy" within the administration.
In mid-2002, as they struggled desperately to sell the war, these key players in "Plamegate" were engaged in full-out offensive aimed at convincing Americans that the country faced an imminent threat of a smallpox attack. To underscore this "threat," Libby began fanatically pressing to have the entire US population preemptively vaccinated against smallpox (which was declared eradicated in 1980).

What Hauer and his colleagues at HHS may not have known is that smallpox was a career-long obsession of Libby's--so much so that his nickname in the administration was "Germ Boy."

More than a decade later, Libby was facing renewed frustration with another group of experts challenging his obsession.
