The FBI Admits It Has No Case Against Ivins

The FBI has admitted that it has no case against Ivins.
As summarized in an article today in the Washington Post:
The FBI has had a difficult time making its case to a skeptical public and scientific community. A hair sample snagged from a Princeton, N.J., mailbox linked to the attacks turned out not to match that of Ivins.
Some Congressional critics have questioned whether one man could really have carried out the elaborate attacks.
But FBI officials continue to press their case.
"I don't think we're ever going to be able to put the suspicions to bed," said Vahid Majidi of the FBI Weapons of Mass Destruction Directorate. "There's always going to be a spore on the grassy knoll."
This is very telling.
The FBI could have said "we will prove to Congress, the scientific community and the public that only Ivins could have done it".
But they didn't.
Instead, the FBI is trying to discredit the many top anthrax scientists who question the government's case against Ivins by using the "grassy knoll" conspiracy-theory smear.
If they had a case against Ivins, they would have presented it, instead of resorting to Bill O'Reilly style smear tactics.
"As always, in Establishment Media World, nothing is more insane or radical than refusing to believe every word the Government says. Even after Iraqi mushroom clouds and the whole litany of Government falsehoods, the establishment hallmark of Seriousness and Sanity is accepting the Government's word. When it says Iraq was behind the attacks, then it was. When they said Hatfill was the culprit, he was. Now that they say that Ivins is, he is, and only "conspiracy theorists" -- comparable to those who disbelieve we landed on the moon -- would question that or demand to see the actual evidence. The FBI is relying, understandably so, on their mindless allies in the media to depict its case against Ivins as so airtight that no real investigation is necessary."

georgewashington, I like this story. It's good stuff. The FBI sure was relieved when they drove their fall guy to suicide; although that hasn't been proven- why no autopsy? And death by Tylenol takes days usually, with lots of symptoms. They claim to believe they have evidence that would prove "beyond a reasonable doubt" but it can't stand the light and it's falling apart in the court of public opinion, so they resort to claiming people who don't trust the government are "conspiracy theorists"; but who trusts the government, and why should we? They need to be transparent.

georgewashington, this is so convenient & easy to place the blame of the Anthrax scare on the one individual that helped the government create some of the deadliest forms of Anthrax made by scientist to date. Bruce E. Ivins, poor guy worked so hard to create a killer within the world - its no wonder he had psychological issues because he had a consciences and soul, let alone the pressure he must have felt during the last year(s) of his life.
What a great way to instill fear and terror upon the citizen and public officials within the United States of America following the attacks on 9/11/2001 (aka 911). Yes, "I BELIEVE", both of these events occurred via some officials within the United States Government, whom wanted and needed these events to take place - so that the Patriot Act could be created, enacted and established for further control of the citizens and a singular Government by top officials within the United States Government.
I can only believe that once the current administration is gone, we as citizen will be able to have justices served and the investigation will commence accordingly with a firmness that will not only instill the power of justice within our government and provide the people of the United States and the world justices that is needed, warranted and demanded. Otherwise will we as citizen feel Vigilante Justices is right and the only means of action, considering that the laws placed upon the books only stand for the common citizen of the United States and not for those of power or elite individuals within our populous.
The standards of justices within the United States Government must be reestablished, for without it we as a nation shall surely fail to remain united by any and all standards of law from and of those by humanity or morally bound and created within civilization and time to date in history.
