On Sept. 7, 2007, as investigators were building the case against him for the deadly anthrax mailings, Army scientist Bruce E. Ivins sent himself an excited e-mail titled, "Finally! I know Who mailed the anthrax!" The e-mail -- along with other correspondence showing that Ivins more recently mused about how to blind or kill a reality TV participant -- was among previously confidential investigative documents unsealed on Wednesday by a federal judge. Ivins, 62, a microbiologist who specialized in handling anthrax at the Army's biological warfare research facility at Ft. Detrick, Md., died July 29 in a suicide. Justice Department prosecutors were preparing to charge him in connection with the anthrax mailings, which in 2001 killed five people and sickened or injured 17 others. The unsealed documents had originally been submitted by investigators last month to win the judge's permission to search seven e-mail accounts that Ivins had maintained. Federal officials declined to comment on the newly unsealed e-mails, which had remained under wraps while investigators combed through Ivins' correspondence. At face value, the new e-mails reinforce the view that Ivins was consumed with the criminal case closing in on him and, in the final months of his life, behaved in a way that suggested madness. By early September 2007, the FBI had determined with the help of outside experts that the anthrax used in the mailings originated in a flask of material ...

Federal investigators said today that they had found the man responsible for the "worst act of bioterrorism in U.S. history" and pointed to Dr. Bruce E. Ivins, a government scientist, as the only person who had regular access to the unique strain of anthrax that caused the deaths of five Americans in 2001. Ivins took his own life July 29 after being told he faced indictment for the mysterious and terrifying anthrax attacks. "At the time of his death, he was the sole suspect in the case," U.S. Atty. Jeffrey Taylor said at a news conference. "We believe we could prove his guilt to a jury beyond a reasonable doubt for the attacks. We are confident that Dr. Ivins was the only person responsible for the attacks." FBI documents released today described Ivins as the "sole custodian" of the unique strain of anthrax that was involved in the mailings. Moreover, Ivins spent evening hours alone in the lab at Ft. Detrick, Md., with this dangerous strand of anthrax in the days before the mailings were sent, the government said. The investigators and documents they released showed that the alleged anthrax mailer submitted "false samples" of anthrax to mislead investigators, was unable to plausibly explain his late-night activities around the time the powder was mailed and possessed material "identical" to that used in crimes in 2001. At the news conference, Taylor said releasing the evidence was an "extraordinary" step for the government to take in a c ...

As federal authorities pursued the wrong suspect in the deadly anthrax mailings of 2001, they ignored or overlooked a series of early clues that pointed to Army scientist Bruce E. Ivins, a review of investigative records by the Los Angeles Times shows. Law enforcement documents unsealed by a federal judge last week, along with other materials reviewed by The Times, show that within a few months of the mailings -- by mid-2002 -- FBI leaders were positioned to know the following information: * Security records generated by swipes of plastic, magnetized-access cards revealed that Ivins -- alone among the handful of anthrax researchers at Ft. Detrick, Md. -- had spent hours in a fortified "hot suite" during late nights and weekends leading up to and surrounding the mailings. The research suite is protected by a maze of controls designed to prevent the escape of any deadly biological agents. * Genetic analysis by outside scientists published in May 2002 reported that anthrax powder recovered from the mailings most likely came from Ft. Detrick, or it was grown from a sample that originated there. "I would have felt very confident at the time that the top place to look was at Ft. Detrick," said Jonathan A. Eisen, a UC Davis biologist and former colleague of the scientists at the Institute for Genomic Research in Rockville, Md. * Ivins, who had been recruited to assist the FBI, failed in February 2002 to provide an anthrax sample, known as RMR-1 ...

More specifically, about Phil Gramm: October 26, 1999 AUSTIN, Texas — I feel vaguely like Henry Higgins in "My Fair Lady," announcing with gleefully inhumane relish: "She'll regret it, she'll regret it! Ha!" "I can see her now, Mrs. Freddy Eynsford-Hill, in a wretched little flat above the store! "I can see her now, not a penny in the till, and the bill collectors knocking at the door!" Which is to say, the new banking bill is a thoroughly lousy idea, and the party most likely to regret it is us. The 1999 Gramm-Leach Act is about to replace the 1933 Glass-Steagall Act, with the result that bankers, brokers and insurance companies can all get into one another's business. It's a done deal except for the final vote on the conference-committee agreement. The inevitable result will be a wave of mergers creating gigantic financial entities. "Too Big to Fail" will be the new order of the day. And guess who gets left holding the bag when they're too big to fail? One of these monsters goes down, and it will cost as much as the whole S&L debacle. And Molly also warned us about Gramm's Commodity Futures Trading Act, a 262-page amendment which he slipped into an omnibus appropriations bill moving toward passage as Congress was preparing to head home for the Christmas recess in 2000. December 24, 2000 Just before it left town last week, Congress passed a little horror called the Commodity Futures Modernization Act of 2000, brought to us courtesy of ...

Today is the second anniversary of Molly Ivins death. To mark the occassion, here's a few of her quotes . I still believe in Hope - mostly because there's no such place as Fingers Crossed, Arkansas. You can't ignore politics, no matter how much you'd like to. It is possible to read the history of this country as one long struggle to extend the liberties established in our Constitution to everyone in America. Conservatives have been mad at the Supreme Court since it decided to desegregate the schools in 1954 and seen fit to blame the federal bench for everything that has happened since then that they don’t like. There's never been a law yet that didn't have a ridiculous consequence in some unusual situation; there's probably never been a government program that didn't accidentally benefit someone it wasn't intended to. Most people who work in government understand that what you do about it is fix the problem -- you don't just attack the whole government. What you need is sustained outrage...there's far too much unthinking respect given to authority. I really miss her. She left us too soon. [More posts daily at The Detroit News .] ...

While government apologists are still trying to pretend there is a case that Bruce Ivins was the anthrax killer, tests by Sandia National Laboratories have exonerated him. As the publisher of the prestigious scientific journal Nature writes : At a biodefence meeting on 24 February, Joseph Michael, a materials scientist at Sandia National Laboratories in Albuquerque, New Mexico, presented analyses of three letters sent to the New York Post and to the offices of Senators Tom Daschle and Patrick Leahy. Spores from two of those show a distinct chemical signature that includes silicon, oxygen, iron, and tin; the third letter had silicon, oxygen, iron and possibly also tin, says Michael. Bacteria from Ivins' RMR-1029 flask did not contain any of those four elements. Two cultures of the same anthrax strain grown using similar processes — one from Ivins' lab, the other from a US Army facility in Utah — showed the silicon-oxygen signature but did not contain tin or iron. Michael presented the analyses at the American Society for Microbiology's Biodefense and Emerging Diseases Research Meeting in Baltimore, Maryland. It had previously been known that the killer anthrax contained silicon - an agent for weaponizing anthrax. But I have never previously read that the killer samples also contained iron and tin. As the world's top anthrax experts have pointed out, Ivins did not possess either the know-how or the equipment to weaponize the anthrax. See ...

Horse with no Name~ America Better I stay away from current topics. Taxes are done, the weekend is just around the corner. Some early flowers are in bloom, and pollen is in the air. Ahhh Chooooo! I miss Molly Ivins~ here are some quotes: • The first rule of holes: when you're in one, stop digging. • What you need is sustained outrage...there's far too much unthinking respect given to authority. • The thing about democracy, beloveds, is that it is not neat, orderly, or quiet. It requires a certain relish for confusion. • I am not anti-gun. I'm pro-knife. Consider the merits of the knife. In the first place, you have to catch up with someone in order to stab him. A general substitution of knives for guns would promote physical fitness. We'd turn into a whole nation of great runners. Plus, knives don't ricochet. And people are seldom killed while cleaning their knives. • One function of the income gap is that the people at the top of the heap have a hard time even seeing those at the bottom. They practically need a telescope. The pharaohs of ancient Egypt probably didn't waste a lot of time thinking about the people who built their pyramids, either. OK, so it's not that bad yet -- but it's getting that bad. • The United States of America is still run by its citizens. The government works for us. Rank imperialism and warmongering are not American traditions or values. We do not need to dominate the world. We want and need to work with other ...
