The FBI are today claiming that Ivins created the powder over a few evenings of work.

I hate to resort to profanity, but, totally f*cking ridiculous.

Does anyone seriously believe this rubbish? It literally becomes more preposterous by the day.

August 8, 2008 - People on an email forum have been discussing what was found in an Associated Press article yesterday. The article says this:

Separately on Thursday, the FBI said in an affidavit that computers recently seized from a Frederick, Md., library may hold clues about Ivins and the mailings.
Ivins used the computers for about 90 minutes on July 24 to read e-mail and review a Web site dedicated to the anthrax investigation, Special Agent Marlo Arredondo wrote in the seven-page document. Ivins went to the library on the day he was released from a two-week psychiatric hospital stay that followed his counselor’s petition for a protective order — and just a few days before he took his own life.

A check of my web site logs found a visit at 6:13 p.m EDT from www.fcpl.org, which is the Frederick County Public Libraries. Assuming that was Ivins, he just looked at the main page, not going anywhere else. But the main page on that day had my comments for July 24, 2008 which were all about Kelli Arena’s interview with FBI Director Mueller which include a link to the video and these quotes from Director Mueller:
I’m confident that it [the anthrax case] will be resolved.
I tell you, we’ve made great progress in the investigation. It’s in no way dormant.

I never got any emails from Ivins, as far as I know, and I know all the people who sent me emails on July 24. I’ve had a great number of visits from Frederick County Public Libraries over the years. I have no way of knowing how many were from Ivins. He may not have aways used the same computer, maybe not even the same library.
The visit from the Fredrick County Public Libraries on July 24 was the result of a Google search for “Ed Lake.” That might seem creepy or ominous, but, in reality, it’s the way a lot of people access my site - if they don’t use a bookmarks/favorite list. It allows them to type in a minimal number of characters to get to my site.

I don’t know who to contact at the FBI to tell them this, but, since there doesn’t seem to be anything “confidential” about it, putting it on my web site seems as good a way as any. The FBI can call me if they need more details.
