But how could a "person of interest" in the anthrax case get a job funded by the Justice Department to teach FBI agents about anthrax?

I didn't connect these dots earlier, but they sure cause one to think deeply. I thought he was connected to LSU as a government contractor, whose company name escapes me. I didn't realize the funds were funneled from DoJ.

Note that Dr. Hugh-Jones is aware that all his phone conversations are monitored. No doubt Hatfill's would be as well, if he were to start work there. Would be a good way to keep him under observation. Was also a good method of keeping him on the government reservation, until the FBI pressuring of him went out of control a couple of weeks ago, I would guess because of congressional pressure.
