Congress is out of session until Sept. 7, so a regularly scheduled Sept. 17 hearing may give legislators their first chance to publicly question the FBI about its decision to name Fort Detrick scientist Bruce Ivins as the sole suspect in the 2001 anthrax mailings.

On that day, the Senate Judiciary Committee is scheduled to hold an oversight hearing on the FBI, and Director Robert Mueller III is scheduled to attend.

It is a regularly scheduled oversight hearing, not one called specifically to examine the anthrax investigation, and will likely cover several topics, depending on the interests of the attending senators, said Susan Sullam, a spokeswoman for Sen. Benjamin Cardin, who sits on the committee.

Cardin, a Democrat, likely will attend the hearing, and there is a strong possibility that the anthrax case will be one of the issues the committee asks Mueller about, she said.

7. Yes, what's their hurry, we know it was someone from USA

and the anniversary of 9-11 is just around the corner, we know that dna found at one of the sites does not match Ivins so someone involved is still out there, not worth taking time away from vacations, yawn.
