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.
I think the science is important,
but it’s also the palpable,
like the envelopes with the defect...how much wider than Virginia and Maryland post offices were they found. In New Jersey? How about New York City? (NY Post, Nguyen)
and,
also, microscopic photos of the attack anthrax should be given.
