and then there were three …

Congressman Nadler joins Holt and Bartlett

in calling for Congressional review

of the failed FBI anthrax investigation

******

 

Senators Grassley & Specter

now where are Senators Charles Grassley and Arlen Specter,

who have in the past expressed strong doubts

about the FBI’s case against Dr. Bruce Ivins

******

Congressman Jerrold Nadler (D-NY), Chair of the House Judiciary Subcommittee on the Constitution, Civil Rights and Civil Liberties, reiterated his call for an independent investigation into the 2001 anthrax attacks which killed five people and sickened 17.

He issued the following statement:

• “Despite the FBI’s assertion that the case of the anthrax attacks is closed, there are still many troubling questions.
• For example, in a 2008 Judiciary Committee hearing, I asked FBI Director Robert Mueller whether Bruce Ivins was capable of producing the weaponized anthrax that was used in the attacks.
• To this day, it is still far from clear that Mr. Ivins had either the know-how or access to the equipment needed to produce the material.
• Because the FBI has not sufficiently answered such questions, I join Congressman Holt in urging an independent investigation of the case.”
