Here’s what readers say about CASE CLOSED  …

“Lew’s  story is a quick read. In July 2008 a physician employee of the United States Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases dies. The FBI immediately not only declares the death a suicide, but also announces that the doctor had been their prime suspect in the 2001 anthrax murders by mail. “I don’t @#$%ing think so!” says the director of the nation’s Defense intelligence Agency (DIA) and a covert investigation of the FBI itself begins.”

For those keeping track of such matters …

… Anonymous Scientist reported yesterday “We are now at T+ 58 days since the FBI announced they were ‘on the verge’ of closing the anthrax case.”

… nor has the FBI responded to my questions as to whether the Amerithrax case is still ongoing or not.

… it is also 14 days since I was advised that the NAS has agreed with the FBI to sequester FBI-submitted documents until the end of the NAS review. I questioned that decision and have received no response to my questions. Thus, I sent another email today …

email to NAS 9-22-09

* the FBI, so certain a year ago, may now be terrified to expose its unconvincing case to public scrutiny, or may now have reason to believe that Dr. Ivins may not have been the SOLE perpetrator, or even involved at all

Here’s what readers say about CASE CLOSED  …

“Lew Weinstein is a meticulous researcher and a determined storyteller.”

“This book will keep you up at night — reading, then worrying.”

“This scary scenario is as close to truth as fiction can come.”

******

The U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) has just issued a report on High Containment Laboratories which contains several devastating passages as to inventory controls at the Ft. Detrick USAMRIID lab before October 2001.

These portrayals of inattention and incompetence at Ft. Detrick cast serious doubts on the FBI’s contention that they have proven Dr. Bruce Ivins to be the SOLE PERPETRATOR of the 2001 anthrax attacks, or even involved at all.

Extract #1  from the GAO report …

GAO Sept 09 - 2nd page - extract

  • It hardly seems necessary to point out that this frightening description applies not only to Dr. Ivins but also to all of the others at Ft. Detrick, and perhaps elsewhere, who had access to flask RMR-1029.

******

Extract #2 from the same page …

GAO Sept 09 - 2nd page - extract 2

  • It seems clear from this extract that the GAO does not support the FBI’s conclusion that Dr. Ivins has been proven to be the SOLE PERPETRATOR of the 2001 anthrax attacks.

******

a third extract is even more devastating to the FBI’s case …

GAO Sept 09 - 3rd page

******

So … the FBI has no science, no witnesses, and no physical evidence.

… where is the FBI’s case against Dr. Ivins?

… what is the FBI hiding?

… why?
