To me, one thing missing in all the establishment media's breathless coverage is how Ivins died. It's widely reported he committed suicide, but how? Who found him? What does the death certificate say? Who performed the autopsy/investigation and who signed the death certificate?
It's obvious to anyone with a room-temp IQ things are not as they seem.

Well it seems like the FBI is trying to convict this poor deceased guy in the minds of the public. What are the odds that there will ever be a congressional investigation? I don't see it happening. Especially if Obama gets elected because he'll want to get his legislative goals enacted. Just like we need a Truth and Reconcillation commission into the Bush crimes, which won't happen either. All of it will be swept under the rug and we'll be told to move on. Nothing to see here, go about your business.
So far, the only thing that surprises me about Dr Ivins is that he bothered to use an alias to buy his porn. Must be a generational thing.
All you need do to succeed or change your downward path is to study the journalism techniques and standards used by Glenn Greenwald on just this Ivins/anthrax/FBI issue. If you want a more in-depth study, his archive is readily available on Salon. Your nation desperately needs you to learn from this master who has never taken a journalism course. The principle is simple and you don’t need a professor to teach it to you- follow the truth and don’t rest until you find it.
Comments on Marcy Wheeler's post, cited above, demonstrate no license by Maryland of Ms. Duley. Other comments bear on her conduct, legal problems and the likely fact that she was not a professional.
Would the FBI have approached this kind of hack to get the damning statements they wanted.
Glenn is correct, this was a pivotal propaganda piece that led us to war on terra. The public should hear the real truth and only congress can investigate. The people, and justice, demand it.
Government bioweapon used on US citizens, immediate spin to implicate Iraq, horribly botched investigation, two cases (now) of trial by anonymous government leaks, and one execution by intimidation. And what was Sen. Pat Leahy saying to Mukasey during that hearing re: Anthrax and the FBI???
who writes mysteries involving Navajo lore invariably portrays the FBI as clueless and incompetent at best. He often dubs it The Federal Bureau of Ineptitude, which I have assumed is common nomenclature for the organization in the southwest.
Evidently FBI ineptitude is not confined to the Navajo Reservation, but, hey, they're great at bureaucratic infighting and bamboozling Congress. [Admittedly the last is not difficult.]
many details, but the biggest ones are not related to the case...porn, alcohol, sorority, etc.
musical ditty...
"who sent the antrax, don't you tell a lie,
it was the government, the government, the fbi"
They called themselves the "Camel Club" and harrassed fellow employees who didn't tow the conformist line at Fort Detrick. Even when the conformity was not being of middle eastern descent...
Or else intercepting mail from a mailbox is worse that receiving porn in a mail box. Why is Glenn making a big deal about FISA if the FBI routinely intercepts U.S. mail?
I was ridiculed by many Bush supporters for thinking Bush's impeachment was not too far off in Dec. of 2004. The vagueness of the term "High Crimes and Misdemeanours" makes determining what rises to the level of a high crime or misdemeanour a largely political process. IOW, the Senate has prosecutorial discretion, like any DA, to choose to prosecute any crime or not.
I don't like it but Bush will not be impeached. He should have been four years ago and the GOP of Nixon's day would have. But we don't have that GOP today. And perhaps that's a good thing. If it was attempted, he might bomb Iran. Why the hell not, right? What has he got to lose? But he won't be. There just aren't enough votes in the Senate. For all we know, some backroom deal was cut, always a tricky matter with these people, that Democrats take it off the table and Iran gets a pass, or Obama won't be impeached, or... who knows? But I just don't see it happening unless they find a live boy or dead girl in his bed.
Even then, he might walk.
...Retroactive Immunity!!!!
Let's get a White-House-designed bill into the House & Senate -- STAT!!!
With luck we can get some sort of blanket retroactive immunity passed for any official potentially involved, in exchange for a firm commitment to send angry letters to the U.S. Department of Justice complaining about their not sending out important information!
We can do this, people!
Funny that you should mention Hillerman, aka clio.
I just read his foreward where he detail the true killing of a cop in 98 and how the FBI took over the investigation.
They prevented local cops from helping in the search of the canyons and when all was done, determined the killers probably died. Case closed. The local cops said the killers probably died of laughter.
I just got done doing my take on what the FBI is really doing here on the last thread, and you switch threads on me. Oh, well.
Short version: Rather than Ivins doing the anthrax attack as a way of testing his vaccine, we should look at whether the FBI investigation was done not with the goal of catching the perpetrator, but rather of testing techniques for labeling groups (in this test case government scientists) terrorist, and fighting Americans with War on Terror techniques on American soil.
All state medical and associated licensing boards maintain web-based licensure verification systems. I just used Maryland's and there are no licensed psychologists named Duley in the state.
This morning, the "sorority link" was front page news on the Chicago Tribune, Detroit Free Press, Yahoo, and CNN websites, before the NYT article questioning the evidence was up. Shortly after that, all the links to Ivins & his alleged sorority obsession were removed from those other sites.
Time to send the tube back to the Ministry of Information to delete the links and alter the content... How about "alleged Al-Qaeda #2 possibly in Iraq"? Or maybe "Marines kill X number of suspected militants in Afghanistan"? or my favorite: "golden retriever adopts tiger cubs at local zoo"?
Much of the initial coverage about Fort Hood turned out to be wrong. Is there anything wrong with that?
The accountability imposed by another country for the CIA's kidnapping and torture reveals much about our own.
