More Anthrax Speculation

I just read a blog post that offers some very plausible (and sickening) insight into possible motives for the anthrax attacks and ultimate suicide linked to Bruce Ivins. To paraphrase, if Mr. Ivins wanted to draw attention to this very real threat - mission accomplished. Along with the eventual development of the Department of Homeland Security, LOTS of money has been apportioned to the study of these types of attacks, specifically.

The writer also likens Ivins to a comic book villain if this was, indeed, his motivation (and assuming he was the guilty party). Another good point - we had a small number of military labs with access to these dangerous compounds, but now, in the name of research, we have dozens. That means greater potential for a rogue psycho to get near them.

Progress!
