Quote for the Day

Jill nails it:

"The more I hear about the Ivins suicide, and the late-breaking attempts to paint him as "a troubled man", the more the tinfoil is tingling."

UPDATE: Yeah, there is a reason why the tinfoil is tingling:

Another scientist who worked with Ivins acknowledged it would have been technically possible to manufacture powdered anthrax at Fort Detrick, but unlikely that anyone could have done so without being detected.

"As well as we knew each other, and the way the labs were run, someone would discover what was going on," said the scientist, "especially since dry spores were not something that we prepared or worked with."

It indeed all looks mightily convenient for the FBI. The found a guy who was not terribly stable, put a lot of pressure on him until he cracked, and now they can say "case closed" and walk away without having to prove a fraking thing to anyone.
