More White Powder Snow Job

John Amato over at Crooks And Liars is also calling bullshit on the Bruce Ivins case.


Did you watch the press conference yesterday? It absolutely made no sense. The feebs made it sound like there were millions of people that could have had access to anthrax. When they were asked why it took so many years to come up with Army scientist Bruce Ivins—they looked to the universe.

Q:When did you get around to him as a suspect from March 31st in 2005?

A: It’s important to remember how complex and complicated this investigation was. At the outset we had to identify the universe of persons and labs that might have access to this type of anthrax. Once we identified what type of anthrax it was, then over the years there were efforts to shrink the size of the pool…

What the hell is he talking about? I’d say the FBI was drowning in a pool of lies. Are there 8 million people and labs to check out to see who actually had anthrax? I want to see the FBI logs on this case. The day to day activity. Really, there needs to be a full investigation of this. How many hours did they spend on this case? What did they know and when did they know it? Ivins was actually helping the FBI with their own case! It’s right out a serial killer novel. I’ll have more later. There are so many layers to this story.

I'm hoping that the liberal blogosphere can be instrumental in keeping this story alive, because what really happened with Bruce Ivins may at heart be the most important threat to our democracy since Watergate.

We went to war with Iraq based on the Anthrax case. For seven years, we were lied to. Now we have been lied to again. Nothing about this case passes the smell test. Arguably the most important domestic terror attack in this country, one used to justify a war with Iraq because it was viewed as an external attack and not an internal one, and it took seven years to track down this guy?

It stinks. The FBI is lying. That press conference was insulting. We know why too, to protect Bush. This one goes to the top.

Let's follow it.
