* DXer … documents that must be produced … questions that must be asked … meanwhile, on the CASE CLOSED blog, 178,000 clicks and 12,000 comments have produced not a single shred of credible evidence that Dr. Bruce Ivins made the attack anthrax or mailed the letters

not a single shred of credible evidence

******

extracts from a recent DXer comment …

• Bruce Ivins supplied a Cairo Medical graduate, whose friends were personally recruited by Dr. Ayman, virulent Ames.
• Dr. Ivins was directed to do so even though the researcher was not a US citizen.  Bruce did not know the researcher was a non-citizen until after the visiting scientist arrived at USAMRIID  for the visit in Spring 1998.   See generally  INSIDE JIHAD, by “Tawfiq” Hamid about Dr. Ayman’s recruitment at Cairo Medical.
• Dr.  Tarek Hamouda was funded by DARPA.
• The researchers who shared a suite with Ali Al-Timimi also were funded by DARPA.
• Those researchers co-invented the microencapsulation patent used to concentrate anthrax with silicon dioxide.
• Ali Al-Timimi was coordinating with fellow Falls Church imam, Anwar Awlaki.

• The FBI’s anthrax expert, John Ezzell, spoke at DARPA about his dried aerosol project at USAMRIID.  Over the course of 5 years of trial and error, according to author DW, he experimented with making a dried powder.

The FBI never disclosed this — not to the public

and apparently not to the NAS.

• We all just want the right answer.  That requires a Congressional Commission or a reopened Amerithrax investigation.

• Agent Lawerence Alexander was not provided  the 16 pages of the research by the former Zawahiri associate
  alongside Bruce Ivins and Patricia Fellows in the B3  until well after he had started googling about sororities and developed the early forms of his “Ivins Theory.”
• His theory, though speculative and complex, can be presumed to be in good faith.  But at the end of the day he needs to factor in what he now knows about the reliability of the first counselor as a witness.

Agent Lawrence Alexander and Postal Inspector Dellefera

have to themselves urge the Director that Amerithrax be reopened.

• The small company of the former Zawahiri associate received millions from the venture fund headed by the man who then was put in charge of Pakistan and Afghanistan (the powerful #3 at Department of State).

• That combined with the fact that Ali Al-Timimi had once been the assistant by the former White Chief of Staff (in another life at the Department of Transportation) may have made the correct solution of Amerithrax politically awkward.

• Our United States Department of Justice closed its case based on someone who was having visions, hearing voices  and a series of mistaken claims and premises outlined at an August 8, 2008 conference.

• our major media has not yet interviewed Tarek Hamouda, the former Zawahiri associate, to ask how well he knew Dr. Ayman Zawahiri and his sister, the microbiology professor.

• No one has interviewed the subtilis expert who lived 20 miles from the Princeton mailbox who was in regular phone contact with the WTC 1993 plotters to ask how well he knew Ramzi Yousef, KSM’s nephew.

• Dr. Hamouda, the former Zawahiri associate, thanked Patricia Fellows for providing technical assistance.
• She is the one who spun Dr. Ivins as having no reason to be in the lab in early October.  See her 302.
• For 2 1/2 years, the DOJ did not mention that Dr. Ivins was helping with the animal studies on not only the 5 nights in September that the DOJ was speculating that he was making a dried powder.
• And even to this day they never have disclosed that the same animal work continued in October.

This withholding of documents is outrageous.

• It is critical that the GAO probe who is responsible for the withholding of documents and force the disclosure of all documents relating to Amerithrax not exempt from FOIA.

LMW COMMENT …

• This CASE CLOSED blog has now received almost 178,000 clicks and just short of 12,000 comments.
• It is an open blog. Anyone can contribute.
• And yet, to the best of my recollection …

not a single person has presented

a single bit of documentation

in support of the FBI’s assertion that Dr. Ivins

made the attack anthrax and mailed the letters.

• If you’re out there, and you have evidence that supports the FBI’s case, let’s see it.
• Meanwhile, the mountain of grudgingly released documents continues to demolish the FBI’s assertions.
