oselleWhen I heard that the alleged suspect in the 2001 anthrax attacks had suddenly committed suicide, I thought, "something stinks." Glenn Greenwald has a great post up about the awful stench of this whole thing. Just add this mess to the list of all the Bush-era horrors that this country will never know the real truth about:
We now know -- we knew even before news of Ivins' suicide last night, and know especially in light of it -- that the anthrax attacks didn't come from Iraq or any foreign government at all. It came from our own Government's scientist, from the top Army bioweapons research laboratory. More significantly, the false reports linking anthrax to Iraq also came from the U.S. Government -- from people with some type of significant links to the same facility responsible for the attacks themselves.
