The FBI has admitted that it has no case against Ivins.

As summarized in an article today in the Washington Post:

The FBI has had a difficult time making its case to a skeptical public and scientific community. A hair sample snagged from a Princeton, N.J., mailbox linked to the attacks turned out not to match that of Ivins.

Some Congressional critics have questioned whether one man could really have carried out the elaborate attacks.

But FBI officials continue to press their case.

“I don’t think we’re ever going to be able to put the suspicions to bed,” said Vahid Majidi of the FBI Weapons of Mass Destruction Directorate. “There’s always going to be a spore on the grassy knoll.“

 

This is very telling.

The FBI could have said ”we will prove to Congress, the scientific community and the public that only Ivins could have done it”.

But they didn’t.

Instead, the FBI is trying to discredit the many top anthrax scientists who question the government’s case against Ivins by using the “grassy knoll” conspiracy-theory smear.

If they had a case against Ivins, they would have presented it, instead of resorting to Bill O’Reilly style smear tactics.
