UNFORTUNATELY, MOST OF THE DOUBTS COME FROM THEIR DISMAL TRACK RECORD: F.B.I. Will Present Scientific Evidence in Anthrax Case to Counter Doubts:
Growing doubts from scientists about the strength of the government’s case against the late Bruce E. Ivins, the military researcher named as the anthrax killer, are forcing the Justice Department to begin disclosing more fully the scientific evidence it used to implicate him.
In the face of the questions, Federal Bureau of Investigation officials have decided to make their first detailed public presentation next week on the forensic science used to trace the anthrax used in the 2001 attacks to a flask kept in a refrigerator in Dr. Ivins’s laboratory at Fort Detrick, in Maryland. Many scientists are awaiting those details because so far, they say, the F.B.I. has failed to make a conclusive case.
Perhaps this will resolve the concerns.
