Bummed about your loss of the Chomsky tape.. few people are as worthwhile paying attention to as Noam Chomsky.
I call for a redo.... at once!
Colin Powell and all the secret evidence that the US government had that proved Iraq had WMD's.
Too bad about Chomsky...
I agree that evaluation of the science is impossible at this point. We need the data before anyone can start to understand whether there is a case against Ivins or not.
the radio bar is very difficult to see, at least on a mac -- but excellent discussion once found. thanks
After a lengthy investigation and despite the fact there is no direct evidence linking Ivins directly congressional investigations conclude Ivins is guilty and acted alone.
What else could we expect after the ridiculous explanations of the 9/11 commission and all they evidence they simply ignored.
What we should be focused on is getting rid of Diebold machines so we can have a fair election giving us a chance to do truly impartial investigations into such affairs.
That is where money bomb advertising should focus...the elections NOT being stolen...again
Can you give us a brief summary of Prof. Chomsky's take on this, or the interview in general? Just a few hints, perhaps?
Several people were commenting on the forensic handwriting analysis aspect of the case. I found two links to Board (ABFDE) and Court Ccertified. independent Forensic Document Examiners.
These brief but professional analyses were done some time ago, based on what was publicly available, but I'm not sure when. I thought you might like to take a look. Perhaps you have access to others I've missed.

I think the ABFDE was the first, founded in 1977. But there is also the BFDE. Both legitimate accrediting and certification boards.

I didn't talk to him about the anthrax case. That was on my list, but I didn't get to it.
He did say he wants Obama to win, thinks that's important, even though (obviously) he's no fan of Obama.
It was a really good interview, in my view, and it was close to homicide-inducing that it was lost (nobody's fault - purely technical). But I'm sure he'll do it again shortly.
Extreme bummer. I've long wondered if he read your stuff.
Do it again.
Glenn:
How did the FBI/Postal Inspector have all the emails that Ivins sent to include them in the affidavit? Did it examine all the emails of all the people who worked with Ivins? Did it examine other emails of other scientists? What did all the other of Ivins emails indicate?
This is the frightening part.
In the NEWT (Never Ending War on Terror) we no longer have any privacy rights.
"it was ... homicide-inducing"
A few years from now, the FBI will cite this selectively edited sentence as evidence that Glenn is a sociopathic, homicidal maniac.

I am so totally bummed that John Edwards has apparently admitted having an affair. I honestly feel let down. For some reason, and I have no idea why, I thought maybe, just maybe, he actually was a decent guy. Are there any politicians who aren't asswipes?
-Colin Powell and all the secret evidence that the US government had that proved Iraq had WMD's.-
Not the least of which was his darling little prop, the *fake* bottle of white (anthrax) powder...or was that W's stash?
A second try might enable some thoughts regarding today's Russian invasion of Georgia.
From my perspective, Condi Rice's and George Bush's call for restraint and 'respecting Georgia's sovereign territory" would be laughable, were it not so patheticly sad. Where once we might have had a bit of weight to throw around in such a conflict, we now have absolutely none, and the world knows it. This is a very clear example of how our actions of the past eight years--both domestic and international--have hurt us.
Glenn,
Congrats on your appearance along with Dr. Nass on Democracy Now! which I only got around to viewing last evening.
Great job and a fine cap on a weekend of high-power blogging on this continually unfolding story.
You are way ahead of the curve on this.
Keep up the great work and keep your head down and your antibiotics handy.
NWW
... I would be waiting for the FBI to conveniently discover a suicide note on the library computers they seized and are now examining' a suicide note that Ivins didn't compose on his own computer, didn't print, didn't send to anybody, and that can't be independently verified as being his, but which contains his full confession.
If I were conspiracy-minded, that is.
It's a sad thing that I have come to so distrust the government that I'm now willing to give credence to what some would consider "conspiracy theories." It's not like I think 9/11 was an inside job or that I believe the Illuminati secretly runs the government, but would I believe the FBI was capable of falsely manufacturing evidence after the fact to "prove" their case? Damn right I would.
Just got up from a pool of my various body fluids. I was reading something, that I could swear, claimed that the WSJ and Washington Post had taken their noses out of King George's ass for the first time in eight years. The room started spinning and then fade to black.................
The apostrophe in the first paragraph of my previous post should have been a semi-colon.
Thanks, Glenn. I know how you must have felt. I can relate.
Just a thought: In future, you might want to run a low tech cassette tape recording as a back-up. I think you can still buy little micro-cassette recorders for about 20 bucks and you can keep them in a shirt pocket. The audio quality is poor but you can at least type up a transcript from it if something goes awry.
I agree that evaluation of the science is impossible at this point. We need the data before anyone can start to understand whether there is a case against Ivins or not.

I had a hunch that is where it would lead. Just call it instinct, hunch, whatever - from my limited understanding and cursory look at the controversial nature of that debate - and the fact that some of the data and info needed is just not likely to be made available to the public. There are probably some legitimate security concerns, and others less legit, and you probably know what I mean (*cough* Treaty Violations *cough*). But you did yeoman's work there diving into that mess and I want to thank you personally for that.
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.
