In the 2002 incident it should have been obvious that he seemed to uncannily know where to look for contamination. That would have been time for a polygraph in every other secure organization in the US.

I don’t think you can but together a strong case this late in the process, too many records would have been dumped. In 2002 and 2003 it would have been possible to trace credit card receipts and possible trips to New Jersey, but this is too late in the game.

The guy may have been crazy, but he wasn’t stupid. You would need to work on his ego to get him to reveal anything useful, but you need to do it early.

The whole thing has been one screw up after another.

And now conveniently the guy offs himself. I don’t know… it’s suspicious to me.

I’m getting the feeling that he wanted more emphasis on his area of research and his motive was to display the power of his “pet” disease to get the funding he wanted.

After reading the open source reports of the 2001 and 2002 contamination incidents I don’t understand why he wasn’t the prime suspect from the summer of 2002 forward.

His neighbors say he was a wonderful man, but he didn’t seem to get along with his brothers at all, and the people he worked with said he seemed stuck in grad school mode. I realize that research scientists are not exactly normal people, for a given value of normal, and he may have been more intelligent than most of them, but alarm bells should have gone off.

We will never know, but I take comfort in the fact that I don’t believe these people are competent enough to stage a realistic suicide like the KGB could.

Also interesting that some of those crazy lefty blogs suspected Dr. Ivins was involved *way back when*.

I suspect that over the next few months before the election, there may be a spate of fatal accidents and sudden suicides.

And I have a nice new shiny stainless-steel colander too. LOL
