Doubts about anthrax perp

I am not a nutball conspiracy theorist, but after seeing what the FBI did to Steven Hatfill, I'm skeptical that their case against the now-deceased Bruce Ivins is any better.

Fortunately, Glenn Greenwald is just as skeptical. He's been posting about this for the past week; today's post raises many questions and refers to today's NYT article, which raises more.

The FBI screwed up the Hatfill inquiry to the tune of several million dollars paid out to him as restitution. I also remember the case of Richard Jewell, the security guard the FBI falsely accused of planting the bomb at Atlanta's Centennial Olympic Park in 1996.

Furthermore, this is the Bush Administration's Justice Department, and we know what kind of a political sinkhole that was turned into by Ashcroft and Gonzales.

Color me doubtful that Ivins was the sender of the anthrax letters until a lot more proof has been shown. And if that proof isn't good, then the individual who sent the stuff may still be on the loose. Cheerful thought, that.
