* Is Southern Research Institute the phrase that fits in front of laboratory in regard to the location that aerosol work for DARPA was done? Was it Johns-Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory? Or instead were the special facilities built at USAMRIID. The research involved the FBI’s anthrax expert John Ezzell and his assistant Joany Jackman.

* Who does former lead Amerithrax prosecutor Daniel Seikaly and his daughter, Ali Al-Timimi’s former defense counsel, think is responsible for the anthrax mailings of Fall 2001?

******

• In an October 2007 deposition, the head of the Amerithrax prosecution, Daniel Seikaly, pled the Fifth Amendment when asked if he leaked the (hyped) story about anthrax smelling bloodhounds who alerted when they sniffed Dr. Hatfill.    
• Attorney Seikaly’s daughter represented “anthrax weapons suspect” Ali Al-Timimi, pro bono.   
• In 2001, Ali Al-Timimi  was coordinating with Anwar Aulaqi and shared a suite with the DARPA-funded Ames anthrax researchers who had their work with virulent Ames done at Southern Research Institute in Frederick, MD.  
• Anwar Awlaki wants to kill a million US citizens in a mass attack.  
• Who does former prosecutor and his daughter, Ali Al-Timimi’s former defense counsel, think is responsible for the anthrax mailings of Fall 2001?

LMW COMMENT …

• So many secrets in this anthrax case.
• The Maryland law is insane.
• Any facility that works with dangerous pathogens should be known to the public which lives near it and regulated by appropriate public health agencies.
• If there is not adequate security to protect the lab from unwanted intruders, the lab should not be in business.

So why does the Maryland secrecy law exist?

what is the history of the law?

who was behind its adoption?

.

The FBI’s case against Dr. Ivins is bogus: no evidence, no witnesses, an impossible timeline, science that proves innocence instead of guilt. So what really happened? And why? The “fictional” scenario in my novel CASE CLOSED has been judged by many readers, including a highly respected official in the U.S. Intelligence Community, as “quite plausible.”
