A secret. The existence of a secret.
What's your point?
There are few real secrets in the Amerithrax investigation.
Most of the information about the case is available. People just have different ways of interpreting that information. So, it's all endlessly debated. What's NOT available are definitive answers to specific questions, and that's because the questions generally relate to evidence in an ongoing murder investigation.
Should the government name the 12 to 20 "persons of interest" they've said they are investigating? Why? So they can be tried in the media? So we can argue over who did it?
What's happening in the Hatfill v FBI lawsuit may be out of the public eye right now, but that doesn't mean anything sinister is going on. NO pre-trial discussions are ever done in public.
So, what's your point?
The one I had in mind was "silence". Because we're sure been getting a lot of that lately regarding Hatfill and anthrax, haven't we?
That’s not true there are no real secrets in Amerithrax. The name of the mailer has never been publicly mentioned in any context — such as a report of a search, a subpoena, etc.
