FBI official response:

But who will investigate the investigators of the investigators?

Skleenar: But who will investigate the investigators of the investigators?

that's when they call in the a-team.

Skleenar: But who will investigate the investigators of the investigators?

And who will investigate the people who called for the investigation of the investigation into the investigation?

Skleenar: But who will investigate the investigators of the investigators?

A bunch of fat comic book nerds?

Let me guess: His "investigation" will prove that Iran was behind it and therefore we should invade.

(And drill for more oil)

/actually, i don't read comic books, the watchmen is the only graphic novel i've ever read, it was really good

I heard some spokesman for the FBI say the other day: "The FBI always gets their man. It may take years and he may be dead when they get him, but they always get their man."

I suspect that he didn't really think through what he was actually implying by what he was saying...



"The dead can be very useful sometimes. They've helped me outta tough spots more than once. First, they don't talk. Second, they can be made to look alive if I manage it right. And third,
if you shoot 'em, there's no worry cuz they're dead already. Understand?"

Grassley isn't completely terrible. Just 80% terrible.

Oh yeah, the Fark mods.

This should lead to some sacking. And sacking of those responsible for the sacking. And a llama....

WHO WILL WATCH THE FARK MODS?!?!?!!

needs a hero tag.

Ceiling Cat.

Won't somebody please think of the children?!?

I don't personally agree with Grassley's politics, but having talked with him a number of times, I will say that he genuinely believes that what he proposes will be good for the people that he serves. I find that much more palatable than the jackholes who know what they're pushing through will make life worse for most people while a minority group of rich-guys will profit.

I'd rather he investigate Metallica ...

/nothin'

"Hi. I'm batshiat crazy, hear voices, threaten people, and occasionally have dissociative episodes. I'd like to work with weaponized anthrax."


"Hired."

Does any of this make sense?

What did strike me about this whole thing was the fact that the specimens that they were matched to were liquid and it takes sophisticated machines to turn it into dried weaponized powder like was was mailed.

/Someone call Oliver Stone

I would like something better than "he was a kook".

thank goodness for people like Glen Greenwald who've been all over this story.
I swear we need a special investigative and prosecuting unit on this and the Habbush forgery. The house of cards is ready to fall if we just rock the table a little more.

Accountability Now! ^{(^)}

"We don't want this to be another Lee Harvey Oswald case where the public says it is never solved to their satisfaction,"

Maybe the should do this with 9/11 then

Im a little spooked, 'cause 'Ceiling cat' is what popped into my mind there unbidden as well.

I dunno. Coast Guard?

"The Anthrax is everywhere. It is all around us. Even now, in this very room. You can see it when you look out your window or when you turn on your television. You can feel it when you go to work... when you go to church... when you pay your taxes. It is the world that has been pulled over your eyes to blind you from the truth."

Fun Fact: The word "Anthrax" and "Anthracite" are both derived from the same Greek word for coal.

Watchin' the detectives.........

How Bituminious of you to notice.

Wonder how Ivins after he supposedly killed those people and all his "crazy" antics that he not only held his job but 2 years after the attacks he received the highest citizen's medal from the Dept of Defense?

Heckuva Job Brucey!! ^{(^)}

At a Pentagon ceremony on March 14, 2003, Ivins and two colleagues from USAMRIID were bestowed the Decoration of Exceptional Civilian Service, the highest honor given to nonmilitary employees of the Defense Department

/obligatory

Code_Archeologist: Skleenar: But who will investigate the investigators of the investigators?

And who will investigate the people who called for the investigation of the investigation into the investigation?

We'll have to investigate that one.

//oh great, that means it's our turn next.

Next step: invade Scranton!



Damned Lackawanna Railroad terrorists!

Seconded

"We don't want this to be another Lee Harvey Oswald case where the public says it is never solved to their satisfaction"

Ok, while I'm not necessarily disagreeing with investigating the investigation, this statement is stupid.

You are never going to solve things to the public's complete satisfaction.

Rice's right-hand man, neo-con Philip D. Zelikow ran the bogus 9/11 commission. He alone decided what evidence would be examined and presented. Even committee members admit it was a whitewash.

vudukungfu: Watchin' the detectives.........

Don't get cute.

I can't believe I'm saying thios, but I actually come down on the congressmans side on this. This is one of those situations where an outside investigation by Congress is probably really appropriate.

One of the key Anthrax researchers from Fort Detrick, the primary US Military facility to guard against biological attack, staged an attack on American soil and against the Congress with multiple fatalities. The Apparent purposes of this attack were to draw more attention and funding to his research area, and to do a live human test of his vacine, which nobody would let him try and people. Read through that again. Let the full impact sink in.

It then took the FBI 7 years to figure out that this was the guy. The Anthrax was biologically distinct, and only handled by a small group of people. Initially they went after a diferent guy, and ended up paying millions to him for destroying his life.

While the FBI was chasing the wrong guy, The Feds were pouring $$$ Billions (with a B) into Ivins research and giving him medals and acclaim.

Yeah I think a full public airing of this mess, both the attack and the subsequent actions and investigation is in order.

tuna fingers: Don't get cute.

He can't be human 'cause he's got no heart.

Skleenar: He can't be humanwounded 'cause he's got no heart.

Me fail Costello?

That's unpossible.

/Oh well, accidents will happen

Yakk: What did strike me about this whole thing was the fact that the specimens that they were matched to were liquid and it takes sophisticated machines to turn it into dried weaponized powder like was was mailed.

This is the exact point that every talking head I have heard completely missed. Yes, this guy had access to the virus, but he was working on a vaccine. He could not have produced the weaponized version that was sent in the mail.

This little "(R-ecursion)" joke is officially played out, no matter what the party. It's old.

I'm making the call.

Excellent headline, subby
