I’d posted back in August about the FBI’s case against Bruce Ivins, and finally new evidence about the anthrax analysis and the research lab’s problems with adequately tracking and safeguarding its inventory of anthrax is coming to light. I wonder how the whole false notion that this anthrax was “weaponized” could have trumped all norms of scientific standards for seven years at the behest of the FBI: just who benefited from the failure to publicize the truth to the public? I wonder what Steven Hatfill is thinking. I wonder what Bob Stevens’ widow is thinking.
