Anthrax Investigations: Dead Microbiologists Revisted

Murders and mysterious “accidents” involving microbiologists, confirmed and reported by mainstream media: 

Scientists' deaths are under the microscope By Alanna Mitchell, Simon Cooper And Carolyn Abraham in the Globe and Mail, May 4, 2002 

Conspiracy Theories: Does a rash of mysterious deaths around the world lead to Memphis? By Rebekah Gleaves in the Memphis Flyer, March 7, 2002 

List of 16 who died in 5 months, starting November, 2001: compiled by 911research.WTC7.net Mysterious Deaths of Microbiologists 

Perhaps some are satisfied the FBI has proved beyond a “reasonable doubt” that Ivins and no one else was responsible for the post 9/11 Anthrax attacks on Democrats and “liberal” media, and that he killed himself to avoid prosecution. However, Ivins isn’t being autopsied, and the FBI was not ready to present evidence to a grand jury; they claim they were going to sit down with him and his attorney and present it to them! 

As soon as Ivins was dead, a campaign was begun of anonymous leaks to corporate news media, who regurgitated them without questions. This has manufactured an appearance of involvement by Ivins, just as it did with the FBI’s leaks regarding Steven Hatfill and ABC’s reporting on “bentonite” and the false Iraq connection. So far, the FBI has ignored the many questions being raised in other media reports, but it looks they will have to deal with a Congressional investigation

Many of Ivins colleagues and other experts believe Ivins couldn’t have created the Anthrax used in the attacks, and some of them believe the FBI’s harassment drove him to kill himself. For a review of problems with the FBI’s case against Ivins, see here:

And, of course, there are the really obvious questions the FBI is avoiding, such as why were White House staff put on Cipro on 9/11, who told journalist Richard Cohen to start taking it, and who tried to frame Ayaad Assaad for the Anthrax attacks, before the outbreak even occurred?
