Good luck with that.
Since Dr. Ivins is dead, there is no way to refute whatever fancy lie the fibbies want to concoct. As over-exposed as Dr. Ivins has been in this debacle, I am sure that were he an avid fisherman that would have been reported.
The US DOJ should ahead of this and apologize ...
Like that will happen.
The only 'apology' that the DoJ or the rest of the alphabet soup have ever given have been after they've been caught and 'punished' with lawsuits; most of their perpetrators were advanced in paygrade, awarded honours, or allowed to retire -- with the taxpayers funding their 'apology'. The whole department needs to be overhauled from top to bottom, but that won't happen in this political climate.
Or did you forget about the Weavers from Idaho; Koresh and the members at Mt. Carmel 7DA Church; Limone, Salvati, Tameleo, Greco - all from Boston; and myriad others.
We've seen their 'apology'.
Apparently he worked with animals.
Maybe he dug up the worms to give the animals at work treats.
This other fellow submitting affidavits, making the same claim about a false sample being submitted, has been a Postal Inspector for 20 months. That affidavit was in mid-July. How would you refute such a claim? His life’s work, reputation and life as he knew it was over. These new inspectors and agents, I’m sure, did not first arrive at the conclusion that a false sample was submitted. It may have even predated their employment. What was the origin of the claim? Who made that assessment? That is what the briefing on Monday morning should address, along with explaining the strength of the genetic investigation which limits known isolates to 8 samples with 100 known people with access. But this false sworn claim made against Ivins is about the only thing that had powerfully incriminated him. It needs to be forthrightly addressed Monday morning.
