Yikes - don’t be eating Turkeyday dinner:

I’m (as I said in the forum), just quoting through ‘C’ toxicants and toxins:

Story at this link

[ Bruce ]Ivins committed suicide this week before he could be charged with murder for mailing the toxin-laced letters, which spread nationwide alarm just weeks after the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks in New York and Washington. Authorities said the letters, filled with anthrax powder, may have been a warped plot for Ivins to test his vaccine on victims.

I’ve very puzzled what to think of this story.   Although the news coverage is surprising thin today - in my opinion - this should be a huge story.  The anthrax attacks so soon after 9/11 terrified this nation, almost shut down mail service in several major cities.

Remember that Steven Hatfield, pursued for years by the FBI, recently settled for  almost $6million from the Department of Justice.

So while I want this episode to be over, and I want the suspect for these attacks to be identified - so that I don’t have to panic if I open a letter with talcum powder spilling out - we have the FBI’s word that they were about to indict this man for the attacks.

And frankly, given their track record, there ought to be a special, extra-strong, extra-spicy, extra-crispy new and improved “presumption of innocence” when the FBI accuses someone of a high profile crime.

So why is the word suspect in quotes?  Ask Richard Jewell.  Ask Steven Hatfield.
