the priority now is to turn to the documentary evidence
… we invite Mr. Willman to re-think some of his conclusions
based on dramatic information which was
not available to him when he wrote “The Mirage Man.”
******
- Last week (May 2011) the USAMRIID for the first time produced the Fellows/Ivins notebook that showed that contrary to the government’s claims, Dr. Ivins had reason to be in the lab each of the nights that the prosecutor Rachel Lieber and the investigators, without basis, speculated he was making a dried powder.
- The lab notebook pages that show how Dr. Ivins spent his time on those nights — pages that were withheld by DOJ under FOIA — were in a notebook maintained by Patricia Fellows.
- Mr. Willman should also consider that the documentary evidence does not support the government’s contention that the April 2002 submission was made by Dr. Ivins.
- The initials on the April 2002 submission are not Bruce Ivins — they are “PF” (which seems to indicate that his lab technician, Patricia Fellows, submitted the samples).

detailed comments on many relevant items follow …

.
Kirkus’ Review summarize: “Much of the narrative reads like a brief for the prosecution, but in the process of trying to get to the bottom of the anthrax attacks, Willman makes clear that many involved in the investigation acted incompetently, maliciously or irresponsibly, including cocksure but ignorant members of the national media and FBI officials, who seem to have settled on the guilt of another obscure scientist, thus doing harm to the investigation by limiting its purview.”

Isn’t an Ivins Theory merely Hatfill Theory Redux? The “Hatfill Theory” was part of the same unstoppable train wreck as the “Ivins Theory.” There was a change of cars (investigators), but it was the same flawed train of reasoning and the investigators never overcame the earlier truncated emphasis of the investigation.

Anthrax Redux: Did the Feds Nab the Wrong Guy? March 24, 2011
http://www.wired.com/magazine/2011/03/ff_anthrax_fbi/
Isn’t it too much at stake to be content with the latest investigators’ position that they do not know the what, how or why of the anthrax mailings?

David Willman relies extensively upon Dr. Ivins’ first therapist, Judith M. McLean, who writes of how she acquired her psychic abilities in her book available for sale on Amazon.com — from a being from another planet …

In addition to helping the FBI with Amerithrax, the psychic relied upon by David Willman helped with 911 by her astral travelling and retrieval of etheric body parts at Ground Zero … She reports she was granted her psychic abilities by a being claiming to be an extraterrestrial …

Who knows? After further investigation, and studying the newly produced document about what Dr. Ivins was really doing on the nights that the DOJ speculated, without basis, that he was making a dried powdered anthrax, he might change his mind.
Some issues and documents that Mr. Willman hopefully will someday address are below. The country will benefit from his insights on the issues given the wide reading he has done on the subject of Amerithrax generally and access to the investigators and prosecutors accusing Dr. Ivins.
Have Mr. Willman and the investigators serving as his sources learned from history regarding the Hatfill Theory — or merely recounted it?
The FBI’s key genetics experts debunk the FBI’s argument that the genetics points to Ivins in particular.

David Willman in Mirage Man nowhere addresses the documentary evidence of Agent Lambert’s concern … that the compartmentalization of the investigative squads ordered by Director Mueller would prevent investigators from connecting the dots.

Dr. Greg Saathoff, whose report Mr. Willman relies on heavily, is a longtime partner of FBI Quantico and instead spins his report as independent.
Posted by Lew Weinstein on March 23, 2011
https://caseclosedbylewweinstein.wordpress.com/2011/03/23/dr-saarthoff-presenting-today-on-amerithrax-is-an-fbi-consultant/
David Willman in Mirage Man nowhere addresses the documentary evidence produced in May 2011 that now shows what Dr. Ivins was doing in the B3 and instead bought into the FBI’s mistaken narrative that Ivins had no reason to be in the B3 on those nights.
https://caseclosedbylewweinstein.wordpress.com/2011/05/14/the-newly-released-lab-notebook-pages-demonstrate-dr-bruce-ivins-was-tending-to-dead-animals-on-the-nights-he-alleged-was-preparing-dry-anthrax-in-light-of-an-ivins-theory-being-demolished-by-suc/
.
Instead, Mr. Willman reiterates the FBI’s false claim that the time in the B3 was unexplained. This, without anything more, demolishes the FBI’s and Mr. Willman’s “Ivins Theory” … on the facts rather the bullshit theory he was “creepy.”
How could the longtime FBI Quantico psychiatrists or the author not have requested from the FBI the record showing what Dr. Ivins was actually doing on the nights that the investigators, without basis, speculated he was making a powdered anthrax?
.
David Willman in Mirage Man nowhere notes or even mentions that anthrax in the New York Post letter was 10% silica or silicates. Mr. Willman thoughtfully addresses the general question of the Silicon Signature as part of an Appendix that is important not to overlook. It appears after the Epilogue.
.
.
The Technical Review Panel Summary notes that the NY Post sample had apparently been treated with hydrophilic silica. The term “weaponization” is used as a straw man to avoid the potential key probativeness of the silicon signature.
.
David Willman in Mirage Man nowhere explains how Dr. Ivins’ processing could have resulted in the Silicon Signature.
.
.
To credit that the silicon signature did not relate to “weaponization” – as many of us do — does not avoid the fact that it is potentially highly probative, and without more tends to be exculpatory of Dr. Ivins. For example, if it relates to “microencapsulation” using hydrophilic silica, that might be a huge lead.
.
David Willman in Mirage Man nowhere notes that experts Weber and Velsko, key experts on the nonmicrobiological signature signature, think that further study is warranted to determine the source of the Silicon Signature.

David Willman in Mirage Man nowhere mentions the 302 interview statement that checking the health of the animals typically would take 2 hours and was a one person job.
https://caseclosedbylewweinstein.files.wordpress.com/2010/03/aaa_302-interviews_revised_revised.jpg
David Willman in Mirage Man nowhere addresses the sworn deposition testimony in the Stevens v. United States case casting doubt on the FBI’s Ivins Theory. Does he even quote the former chiefs of bacteriology who all agree — to a man — that he has been wrongfully accused?

David Willman in Mirage Man nowhere addresses why US Attorney Taylor in explaining Ivins’ overtime in Fall 2001, including November and December, did not realize that the 2-person rule that in 2002 precluded such overtime. In his FOIA to the Army, he did not seek access records from the earlier or later period.
https://caseclosedbylewweinstein.files.wordpress.com/2010/03/ivins-noble-eagle.jpg
Source: “An eye on safety” by Alison Walker … http://www.fredericknewspost.com/sections/special_sections/detrick/day3.htm
“Better enforcement … In 2002, USAMRIID officials mandated a two-person rule, which creates peer pressure to follow safety protocol by requiring material be handled by two people of equal experience, training and qualification. USAMRIID is phasing out the rule due to space and staff limitations, replacing the physical presence of another person with video surveillance.”
As an example, he nowhere addresses that Dr. Ivins had no access to the filters and thus there would have been traces in the filters if the anthrax had been made in that B3.
David Willman in Mirage Man interviewed Dr. Ivins’ brother Charles, who told me about the two undercover FBI agents who had befriended him and Bruce on the cruise. Here is an email Dr. Ivins wrote to one of the agents.
https://caseclosedbylewweinstein.wordpress.com/2010/12/12/dr-ivins-email-to-one-of-the-two-undercover-fbi-agents-who-had-befriended-him-on-the-cruise/
According to this email, Dr. Ivins was not in fact taking the sleeping aid ambien in Fall 2001.

David Willman in Mirage Man no where addresses the weaponized anthrax that Dr. Ivins says he had heard had been shipped to Ft. Detrick and then went missing.

David Willman in Mirage Man nowhere addresses that USAMRIID’s John Ezzell, the FBI’s anthrax expert, prior to 9/11, made a dried aerosol using Ames supplied by Bruce Ivins and sent to Johns-Hopkins Applied Physics. He never addresses whether those spores show a silicon signature.
https://caseclosedbylewweinstein.files.wordpress.com/2010/05/83_aaa_jhapl_4.jpg

Where does Mr. Willman address Ivins’ email of 6-28-05 that discusses powder deemed closest to attack anthrax … in which Ivins says, “but I told ??? we didn’t make spore powder”
https://caseclosedbylewweinstein.files.wordpress.com/2010/07/91_1.jpg
David Willman in Mirage Man nowhere addresses the email in which Dr. Ivins discusses missing Ames anthrax.
https://caseclosedbylewweinstein.files.wordpress.com/2010/05/87_aaa_missing-ames_1.jpg
Was it the FBI’s anthrax expert who made a dried aerosol out of Flask 1029 who told Dr. Ivins not to get his “panties in a bind over this”?
https://caseclosedbylewweinstein.files.wordpress.com/2010/04/77_aaa_cya.jpg
David Willman in Mirage Man nowhere addresses the fact that the FBI removed the original of Lab Notebook 4010 (and other notebooks that were subpoenaed) without leaving a copy. Why won’t the FBI produce the relevant pages from the lab notebooks it took?
.
David Willman in Mirage Man nowhere explains that Daniel Seikaly pled the Fifth Amendment in connection with the leaks relating to Hatfill or notes that his daughter represented “anthrax weapons suspect” Ali Timimi pro bono.
.
David Willman in Mirage Man nowhere addresses why the US Attorney and AP created the impression that the Federal Eagle stamp was uniquely sold in Ivins’ post office (near USAMRIID) when it in fact was sold throughout Maryland and Virginia. This misstatement by the US Attorney (picked up by AP) was as great as any misstep in connection with a “Hatfill Theory”.
.
David Willman in Mirage Man nowhere addresses why the FBI failed to disclose that the photocopier mentioned in the Amerithrax Summary could be excluded as the source of the Amerithrax letters. That is the sort of evidence that makes for a strong scientific case — or demolishes one. He instead relies on the much less significant issue of “tracks” and the investigators relied upon apparently do not realize that copies made in September and October 2001 could have been compared, even if the machines were not checked until February 2002.
.
David Willman in Mirage Man nowhere addresses why the FBI let USAMRIID General John Parker’s false claim that USAMRIID did not make dried powder stand — when the FBI and the scientists overseeing the investigation knew its own expert had made dried powdered aerosol using Ames.
.
David Willman in Mirage Man nowhere addresses the identity of the colleague with whom Dr. Heine says he did research regarding antifoam in creating aerosols or Dr. Heine’s report that the FBI falsely told Dr. Ivins that Dr. Heine had accused him of the anthrax mailings. This is a huge issue because the investigators then used Dr. Ivins’ rage as proof of his guilt — rather than evidence of his innocence.
.
David Willman in Mirage Man nowhere addresses why the FBI never disclosed the email withheld for 2 years that shows Dr. Ivins knew that 5 ml of virulent Ames had been taken from Building 1412.
https://caseclosedbylewweinstein.wordpress.com/2010/05/25/a-new-email-withheld-for-2-years-shows-that-ivins-recognized-that-some-of-his-ames-was-missing
David Willman in Mirage Man nowhere addresses the email asking about weaponized anthrax that came to Detrick and then was shipped out and some was missing.
https://caseclosedbylewweinstein.files.wordpress.com/2010/09/98_aaaaa_subpoena.jpg
David Willman in Mirage Man nowhere, given that the FBI estimates that up to 377 had access required elimination (allowing for some duplication who had access in both 1425 and 1412), why US Taylor falsely claimed that only 100 needed to be eliminated — only those with access at Building 1425.
https://caseclosedbylewweinstein.wordpress.com/2010/04/07/dr-henry-heine-former-colleague-of-dr-bruce-ivins-freed-of-the-gag-order-interviewed-on-his-last-day-at-usamriid
David Willman in Mirage Man nowhere addresses the reason the location of the flasks (initially there were two flasks) was carefully whited out so as to change its location from Building 1412 to Building 1425.
https://caseclosedbylewweinstein.wordpress.com/2009/07/25/usamriid-rmr-records-flask-1029/
David Willman in Mirage Man nowhere addresses to whom Dr. Ivins was writing about the Ames missing from building 1412 and the autoclaving of samples there.
https://caseclosedbylewweinstein.files.wordpress.com/2010/05/87_aaa_missing-ames_1.jp\
David Willman in Mirage Man nowhere addresses what happened to the other slant sent from Texas, or interviews the original researcher who obtained the slants from Texas who then went to work for the CIA.

https://caseclosedbylewweinstein.files.wordpress.com/2010/07/93_2_aaaaa_work.jpg
David Willman nowhere addresses Dr. Ivins’ concern expressed to a superior that he was missing samples — only to be told to shut up. He never identifies the superior telling Ivins that everything was under control.

David Willman in Mirage Man nowhere addresses when Southern Research Institute first obtained virulent Ames and from whom.
https://caseclosedbylewweinstein.files.wordpress.com/2010/04/aaa_sri_dash.jpg
David Willman in Mirage Man nowhere addresses where the research on the corona plasma discharge and sonicator on Ames spores supplied by Bruce Ivins was conducted for DARPA. He nowhere addresses where else the DARPA aerosol studies using dried powder were done. Given the performance of the dried aerosol, the technical question of whether the floatability is due to use of a CPD or sonicator should be addressed by the scientific experts.
https://caseclosedbylewweinstein.files.wordpress.com/2010/04/58_aaa_words.jpg
David Willman in Mirage Man nowhere addresses the fact that the only expert interviewed by the FBI about the code in the letters for which documents were produced disagreed with the FBI’s theory of code in the letters and that all the letters needed for the FBI’s interpretation of the code were NOT in fact double-lined.
https://caseclosedbylewweinstein.files.wordpress.com/2010/03/theory-of-the-code.jpg
David Willman in Mirage Man nowhere addresses why the FBI was asking everyone whether they had seen olive oil in one of the aerosol rooms.
https://caseclosedbylewweinstein.files.wordpress.com/2010/04/aaa_oliveoyle_rev.jpg
David Willman in Mirage Man nowhere addresses whether olive oil was what the bloodhounds smelled at Denny’s when the FBI assumed they were tracking Steve Hatfill who had visited the day before.

Did they contact his brother who publicly announced that he could not identify a sleeper cell if he did not know about it?

Given the questions not addressed, isn’t there a very real chance that an Ivins Theory is just a Hatfill Theory redux — and had the same effect of narrowing the investigative focus?
