FBI Tries to Delay Release of Anthrax Attack Report
FBI Tries to Delay Release of Anthrax Attack Report

The FBI had over a year to turn over all documents pertaining to its investigation of the 2001 Anthrax attacks to the National Academy of Sciences (NAS), which was asked by Congress to review the controversial case. But now, just as the NAS is preparing to release its findings, the FBI is asking for the report to be delayed so it can provide 500 pages of materials.

In the shadow of the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, letters containing anthrax powder were mailed to two U.S. senators and several media companies. Five people were killed, including two postal workers, Thomas Morris, Jr. and Josep Curseen; a hospital employee, Kathy Nguyen; Bob Stevens, a photo editor of the Sun tabloid; and 94-year-old Ottilie Lundgren.

After investigating the case for seven years, the FBI zeroed in on Bruce Ivins, a microbiologist at the Army’s bio-defense research center in Maryland. But Ivins killed himself in 2008, and was never charged with the crime. Some of Ivins’ colleagues questioned the FBI’s conclusion about the scientist.

At one point, the FBI also suspected another Army scientist, Steven Hatfill, who wound up suing the bureau on grounds that he was falsely accused. The FBI settled out of court with Hatfill for $4.6 million.

1. When we understand the anthrax killings
we will probably understand more about 9-11. There is a connection obviously. The government wants us in the dark.

4. I followed the whole story for the last 7 years


It has so many holes in it that
if you could used what they told you as a strainer
your pasta would fall though.

3. I guess the American people have no need to know what the
officials do in our name.

10. Exactly....a message to both Democrats in Congress and the Media.
Lets not forget that Cipro was being administrated to people in the White House before these attacks became known. Cipro is not typically prescribed to prevent infection. Were they clairvoyant? Amazing how the FBI could have fingered all 19 hijackers within 48 hours, but couldn't nail the perp who got the Anthrax from our own weapon's lab. Or maybe the perp had ultimate protection plan.

9. Send this to the 9/11 dungeon!
We need to be told that there are no such things as conspiracy and that our government always has our best interests in mind.

Remember: Our government is trustworthy and can always be trusted. But any citizens who attempt to organize and fund their own investigations are obviously out-of-whack un-patriotic nutjobs.

Nothing to see here, move along.
