washingtonpost.com — A top U.S. biodefense researcher apparently committed suicide just as the Justice Department was about to file criminal charges against him in the anthrax mailings that traumatized the nation in the weeks following the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, according to a published report.

I suggest you do your research before you boldly proclaim there is not a shred of evidence regarding Ivins' involvement in the anthrax attacks. You've managed to entirely spin the "conspiracy theory" as one victimizing Ivins as responsible for the anthrax attacks when in fact the real conspiracy claims the US government was responsible, which is utterly laughable! His psychiatrist believed he was both homicidal and sociopathic with Bruce Ivins even making death threats against this person. Tom Ivins, Bruce's brother even agreed with the psychiatrist's assessment adding "[Bruce] considered himself like a God." Considering the FBI formally pressed charges against Ivins, I'm sure they managed to accumulate a "shred of evidence."Using a red herring that the FBI got it all wrong with Stephen Hatfill proves nothing. Director Robert Mueller changed leadership of the investigation in 2006 and instructed agents to re-examine leads and reconsider potential suspects. In the meantime, investigators made progress in analyzing anthrax powder recovered from letters addressed to the two U.S. senators - linking them to Fort Detrick because they were virtually identical.

curiously his psychiatrist claims to have a special interest in mood/anxiety disorders, psychopharmacology. Certain antidepressant have a "side effect" of increased thoughts of suicide and actual suicide. I'd love to see what sort of drugs he was being prescribed. I wonder if they'll do an autopsy?He was hospitalized involuntarily for over a week - more than long enough for the "wrong" antidepressant to do its intended job. The only Secretary of Defense to commit suicide was hospitalized by force before it happened - read up on James Forestal<a class="user" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Forrestal">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Forrestal</a>or<a class="user" href="http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=125x203767">http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboa ...</a>Strange how he wins an award from the government for excellent work, has a long history of being a standard geek and then flips out just in time to be patsy of the decade. Were I not a real patriot (whole box of flag lapels pins, 3 red,white& blue "support the troops" ribbon window stickers, and 3 ballots filled out in advance by the ruling party for the next 3 elections, I'd begin to doubt the veracity of the press and the government. Why I might even think I was being lied to or even being distracted so as not to look to closely at things.google Dr. David Irwin pyschiatrist - he's a government fellowView Contact Information 16220 South Frederick Avenue Gaithersburg, MD 20877 Specialties Forensic Psychiatry, PsychiatryGender MaleMedical School Case Western Reserve University School of Med, Cleveland, OHYears SinceGraduation 42Residency Letterman Army Med Center Walter Reed Army Med CenterDavid S.

If you think the "wonderful democratic administration" will ride in on their white horses and make the "evil republican administration" pay for their dastardly deeds, then you obviously live in your own little fantasy world.

Sorry, 98percentcogdis, I don't have a "nice little list". I picked it up along the way with my other 9/11 research. You're going to have to Google it. Shouldn't be *too* hard to find something.

furthermore, how could security be so lax and allow a possible deranged person in a high security biochemical weapons facility to continue working there? ESPECIALLY after the terrorist attacks in the first place? you mean that we have to be wiretapped and almost stripped searched at airlines yet biochemical weapons engineers have no regular psychiatric exams or security regulations? all of this with the information we know about lt.col phillip zack? how does the goverment f**k up this badly?
