#1 The money quote: It wasn't until FBI chief Mueller kicked out the agents heading the inquiry in 2006 and replaced them that movement towards Ivins began.
Once again, leadership matters even in huge overgrown bureaucracies like the FBI or the Federal gubmint.

#2 Troubling aspects indeed. "Conspiracy" or not, the bullshit flag must go down. He held a clearance, probably a DoD TS/SCI, and he was seeing a shrink and his USAMRIID supervisor and Security Manager did nothing to restrict his access? Was a 5 year security clearance Reriodic Re-investigation (PR) conducted during all of this? Did his position require a poly? If he was an FBI informant, did they poly him? Just a few questions yet unanswered.

#3 There is a loyalty code in policing. Generally, once a lead officer excludes a suspect, everyone else follows suit.

For those who are unaware, police are not directed toward solving crimes. They are driven to "Clearing" complaints. An unsolved crime is treated as "cleared" when it is "filed." The public is brainwashed by over-doses of hero cop tales on TV and movies. In reality, the work product of the average cop is about 2 convictions per month, but many more "clearances." The criminal justice system doesn't work. Buy a gun.

#4 The criminal justice system doesn't work. Buy a gun. Just how will a gun protect any of us from anthrax?

#5 As I commented in the other thread, there is an alarming tendency to force a conviction by bending the evidence to fit the selected "suspect", and to ignore any other routes once the main guy has been "chosen" by the lead (be it a prosecutor or detective).

Look at the Ramseys (Jon-Benet case), and many other injustices.

The FBI blew this - and nobody had the guts to question the initial Hatfield error.
