The FACTS are the FACTS. The powder being discussed in the email is not Vollum, not a simulant - it is AMES SPORE POWDER.
I realize the Fox email story, the first real piece of news on the anthrax attacks in years, makes you extremely uncomfortable - but try to stick to the FACTS if you can.
Beecher’s paper has been discredited - it could now NEVER stand up in court as a peer reviewed paper (as an analyst in the C&E News article suggested as it’s purpose) - not after the editor of the journal has now publicly stated how uncomfortable he is with the unsupported conclusions. And after the same journal has now published a rebuttal to which Beecher has remained silent.
The FACTS are the FACTS - no matter how much they may crush your dearly held beliefs.
Looks like I can waste that last 10 minutes, too.
I found the Fox story to be amusing. It didn't make me uncomfortable in any way. Your beliefs to the contrary don't change that.
Beecher’s paper has been discredited
Beecher's paper has been criticized for not including supporting documentation for statements he made. That does not make him wrong. It only means that people who have contrary beliefs won't accept anything until they see all the evidence that exists. And if it cannot be publicly released, to them that just proves a conspiracy.
