Anthrax

The Anthrax attacks always bothered me. There always seemed more to it than we knew and yet the government always seemed reluctant to get to the truth. No, I am not a conspiracy theorist, but what is one to think when there is a case this strange and absurd?

To review: Bruce E. Ivins, the very scientist who was being used by the government to analyze the anthrax laden powder, turned out to be the number one suspect in the anthrax terror plot. Bruce Ivins committed suicide last week, reportedly overdosing with Tylenol with Codeine. It is not easy to overdose on Tylenol with Codeine. In fact, the codeine probably was incidental. Tylenol itself will destroy your liver if you take a large overdose. Is this what he did? If so, he would have died slowly and in agony. I don't see him choosing that way out.

Why has it taken so long to focus in on Ivins? Why did the government spend so much time investigating Steven Hatfill, the man they hounded as "Dr. Anthrax" who turned out so obviously innocent that the government had to pay out $5.82 million in a legal settlement, an almost unheard of development.
