Under pressure to make public its case against a U.S. Army scientist in the 2001 anthrax murders, the FBI is preparing to release its evidence on the man, who killed himself before he could be charged, law enforcement officials said on Tuesday.

The evidence could be released as early as Wednesday and includes anthrax spores found in the office of Bruce Ivins that were linked through DNA matching to the spores sent through the mail, the officials said.

They said the FBI planned to brief victims and victims' families on the latest developments, most likely on Wednesday. Court documents detailing the evidence against Ivins also would be unsealed, probably the same day.

1. This ought to be good.

:eyes:

5. Yep. but the M$M will leak it out real slow and

and in such a way that emphasizes Ivins' guilt. And of course they will ignore anything that doesn't fit the "guilty" theme.

9. Ivins has no defense.

Trial by media is not acceptable. When the DOJ becomes a tool of the Executive branch, we must take over the courts.

2. right... "their" evidence

trust no one, especially this government under Bush.

7. .

:rofl:

Good one.

[rateyes]

4. Uh huh. Real evidence? Or, manufactured evidence? And,

any exculpatory evidence?

This doesn't pass the smell test.

8. It does stink badly, doesn't it.

I imagine they are scrambling to pull this together since they clearly wanted to close the case without doing this.

10. The ink must be dry on all that evidence they forged.

Hope they remembered to use the correct fonts...

[MetaTrope]

11. Did I read this right...that the evidence to be released includes anthrax spores?

Didn't they release enough anthrax spores the first time around?

12. Sadly, the Bush regime has proven to be so

corrupted, where lying is the norm, and has been successful as a way of governing--- many people do not trust a word the FBI or the CIA says or ANYTHING that is reported these days. EVERYTHING is suspect and to be viewed with a skeptical eye. There is no one who works under the Bush administration, yea, even the Democrats in congress under the "impeachment is off the table" wimpy, surrendering Pelosi--whose "investigations" or word can be trusted. So I say. Go ahead ye Glenn Greenwalds and emptywheelers. This is not a "conspiracy" wild accusations given what we have had to endure over the past eight years. This is the reality. EVERYTHING that is reported is suspect, thanks to Bush and his minions.

13. Greenwald is doing some of the best actual reporting

on this story.
So much else of what is in the media about this is pure dictation of the FBI and Duley's unsubstantiated allegations. I want investigation, not dictation.

It will be curious to see how they try to spin the innuendo into something resembling evidence.

Still, I don't think they wanted to actually have to do this and I wonder how prepared they are. I anticipate holes we'll be able to drive Mack trucks through.

14. While he was alive and a "threat" nothing happens. He dies and viola

everything gets pinned on him.

Gotta wonder why they didn't do anything about him before he died if all this evidence is on him.

[superconnected]

15. Update: he's the 2nd gunman who shot kennedy, and he's responsible

for the wmds in iraq too - he hid them somewhere nobody can find.

[regnaD kciN]

18. He also poisoned Mozart, and...

...turns out to be both Jimmy Hoffa and D.B. Cooper. Oh, and Jack the Ripper, too. Can't forget about Jack! :eyes:

16. Ron Suskind knows about evidence:

17. Why would they? He's dead. No need other than to try pathetically to cover their dirty asses. nt

[skip fox]

19. Have they said where Ivins got the Tyenol with Codeine that he used to kill himself??

This is not for psychological problems!
