Anthrax Case Takes a Final Twist

SelectPlusAnthrax Case Takes a Final TwistAnthrax Case Takes a Final TwistThe Associated PressAnthrax-laced letters that killed five people and severely rattled the post-9/11 nation may have been part of an Army scientist's warped plan to test his cure for the deadly toxin, officials said Friday. (Aug. 1)Bruce Ivins...a brilliant microbiologist...and a suspected multiple murderer. (hazmat suits)the man believed to be behind the 2001 anthrax attacks was an Army researcher(Red Cross shot) who killed himself this week as the government moved toward indicting him -- and seeking the death penalty (graphics of Brokaw and Daschle letters) a bizarre turn for the probe into the anthrax-laced letters that killed 5 and chilled the nation a few weeks after Nine-Eleven (Hatfill file) for years, the only known suspect was Steven Hatfill (Fort Detrick sign or water tower) an Ivins colleague at Fort Detrick, the Army's biodefense labs in Maryland...who was exonerated just weeks agoSTANDUP: Officials say authorities were investigating whether Ivins released anthrax as a way of testing the vaccine he was developing here at Fort Detrick...just down the block from his home. (wife sticking head out door with cops) as police checked on Ivins' family (people walking around, various of house -- perhaps the closeup of number and then pullout MD AP IVANS neighbors said the FBI had been a constant presence nearby for a year, conducting surveillance...they just didn't know the target SOT: Natalie Duggan, neighbor (one of the first SOTs from her MD AP IVANS) "We never suspected Bruce...decent guy" (Duggan walking dog MD AP IVANS) but while she had no suspicions.. (wide of Bonnie Duggan MD AP IVANS) her mother said it might make sense SOT: Bonnie Duggan, neighbor 140125 MD AP IVANS "we knew that they were looking.... it does not take a rocket scientist that they were looking at him." (repeat Daschle letter) but some targeted in the attacks want more SOT: Tom Daschle, former Senate majority leader DC DASCHLE ANTHRAX 15:03:00 "we need to know exactly how Mr. Ivins was involved, if he was involved, how this relates to the case" (end with his headshot side by side with the anthrax spore closeup AP-APTN-1830: US Anthrax) Officials say prosecutors haven't yet closed the investigation..leaving open the possibility Ivins is not the only suspect.

@kevhead66 I believe that the Anthrax Attacks should function as the "wedge issue" for the 911 truth movement. It is slightly easier for a person to swallow the idea of his own government killing 5 people as opposed to 3,000. Especially if the us government has already admitted the anthrax attacks were an "inside job" and the only question is who and why?

Once a person gets over the shock effect, the evidence provided by the 911 truth community is pretty overwhelming.

@shawn33702 They (gov.) thinks we're real stupid or they're just cavalier about it. I think the 911 truth movement needs to shout louder about this.

So why did the media claim bin-laden sent it?

You have been proved to be liars!!!! no 1

believes the puppet media of zionists like

Of fucking course this guy was murdered becouse the attack was part of the British and NWO cout of the world and now only good patriots stand between freedom and The Royal family takeover ...lets toss there tea in the fucking drink....we beat these fukin elites before our mistake was not finishing the fukin job........

[beckpod1]

When ever they start to color a person as an alcoholic and schzoid and paranoid...you know there's more to this....like they hire or continue to employ someone wlth all these problems..to such a sensitive job!

He was ordered to do this and was probably promised no trails back to him.

It was U.S.made and they knew it....right away!

We were to be frightened right into the Iraq war !

911 was our shock and awe!

They get cocky with their lies...and show themselves!

[shawn33702]

Clearly this man was driven to either kill himself or was aided by a couple of thugs sent by the bush crime family. How stupid does the FBI think we are in this country? Anthrax doesn't leave a lab without special attention, especially when Ivins never worked with powder anthrax. Grow a brain and resist the corporate media spoonfed lies and deceptions to scare the crap out of us.

[scarllett5]

This man commited suicide with some help no doubt! Probably because he was about to be "charged" with murder?? Someone did not want him to talk. Probably the same perpertrators of 9/11

[steve7342]

military set up the whole thing up to bring fear to us all

made it easier to get a vote for a war with iraq to get other so called chemical weapons from sadam

[dance497]

This is Bullshit - just think people these are the same guys who accused Hatfill of the crime. Same guys who botched 911! The FBI - YOU can't trust these guys - all roads lead back to the white house! Bruce E. Ivins, 62, dies of an apparent suicide APPARENT WTF - DEAD MEN TELL NO LIES! this guy was setup - think why now - they're starting to crank up the old fear machine! Hmm... must be election time.

[ThReAsHeR007]

The whole thing feels fishy. Set-up maybe? All this stuff about he "suddenly" died and whatnot. What about his family? Any clues there? or his background? This story has too many loose ends.
