LMW COMMENT …
When the FBI keeps vital information secret, it behooves us to know why they have done so. In particular, what connection is there between the withholding of this information and the FBI continuing to assert their unproven conclusion that “Dr. Ivins was the only person responsible for these attacks.”

* FBIR Sample 052-026 seized from Building 1425 was Dugway Ames (from Flask 1029) that had been given by Ivins to Susan Welkos, who reports that she didn’t typically share anthrax with other researchers.

* why did the FBI keep evidence of John Ezzell’s dried powder from the NAS?
Posted by Lew Weinstein on March 21, 2011

Throughout the investigation the FBI kept secret that the FBI’s anthrax expert at USAMRIID, John Ezzell, had made a dried powder out of RMR 1029 (which was the flask used for all wet aerosol challenges with Ames at USAMRIID from 1997 until 2002). In the 9600 pages provided to the NAS, the FBI withheld all documents relating to this from the NAS. Did the FBI scientists do this for national security reasons — or to cover their ass?
