The FBI’s case against Dr. Bruce Ivins has been demonstrated to be bogus. Someone should be held accountable for either failure to solve the case or covering up the true perpetrators. What really happened? I offer one fictional scenario in my novel CASE CLOSED, judged by many readers, including one highly respected official in the U.S. Intelligence Community, as “quite plausible.”
Kenneth Dillon, taking the point of view of a defense attorney, writes that there are 7 main flaws in the FBI’s Amerithrax Investigative Summary (I have paraphrased) …
- The FBI claims it has direct evidence, but it has nothing but circumstantial evidence.
- The FBI claims that Ivins spent extra hours in the “hot suites” at USAMRIID, but his calendar shows legitimate reasons to be there and the FBI has withheld Ivins’ handwritten notes from those nights.
- The FBI claims Ivins had the equipment and skills to prepare the attack anthrax, but other opinions differ and the FBI offers no proof that Ivins actually did so.
- The FBI points to Ivins’ behavior in the year before his suicide as indicative of his state of mind 7 years before; this is not persuasive. The use of Jean Duley as a credible witness is not credible.
- The FBI’s claims regarding the language of the letters and a secret genetic code are fanciful.
- The FBI claims, but offers no proof, that the preparer of the anthrax and the mailer were the same person.
- The FBI claims that Ivins displayed a guilty conscience, which could equally have been a fear of being wrongly accused.
