Dive into the Anthrax Files
The government’s allegation that former U.S. Army microbiologist Bruce E. Ivins was the 2001 anthrax killer draws on a massive cache of documents. We obtained many of them in reporting our stories about the case with partners PBS’ “Frontline” and McClatchy.
The government’s case against Bruce E. Ivins draws on a massive cache of documentary evidence to argue that he was the 2001 anthrax killer. We relied heavily on it in preparing this week’s stories about Ivins with our partners, PBS’ “Frontline” and McClatchy.
Now it’s time to share.
Thanks to ProPublica’s new DocDiver anyone can go look at the evidence firsthand, make comments and – we hope – discover new leads in case that some say remains unsolved.
So far, we’ve uploaded Ivins’ emails, his multiple interviews with FBI agents, key scientific reports, and the FBI’s final “Amerithrax” case summary, among others.
We’ll be adding more in the days and weeks ahead as our reporting on the case continues.

Kudos to ProPublica and its partners for an outstanding job of reporting. I hope you continue to probe since the whole story is still far from revealed.
Finally, the FBI’s pathetic case against Bruce Ivins is beginning to unravel publicly. The FBI has presented no witnesses, no physical evidence, and no science. Their case is built on inaccurate assertions and flimsy innuendo.
If the FBI has more support for its case against Ivins, they should make that information public. If not, they should admit (a) they don’t know who committed the anthrax attacks, or (b) they do know but they don’t want to say who it was. If there’s any other possibility, I can’t think of it.
For those who want to follow this story in detail, the CASE CLOSED blog at ...http://caseclosedbylewweinstein.wordpress.com/ ... provides a wealth of information, updated daily as new documents are released.
The conclusion of the CASE CLOSED blog ... IT WASN’T IVINS!

From what I saw on the Frontline special - it does indeed seem that the FBI had the wrong man. Which of course., raises a whole lot of questions and concerns.
