The Ivins Dossier - WSJ.com

The Ivins Dossier - WSJ.com: "If the FBI is right that Ivins really was the mad scientist they'd been looking for, it comes as a major relief. Assuming the anthrax did originate domestically, as now seems probable, it would mean that weaponized anthrax isn't an instrument of international terrorism -- at least not yet.

To resolve any remaining doubts, independent parties need to review all the evidence, especially the scientific forensics. The FBI has so far only released its summary of the evidence, along with interpretative claims. This is an opportunity for Congress to conduct legitimate oversight, instead of the usual partisan showtrials. After so long and so many missteps, the FBI's declaration of victory needs to be tried in the court of public opinion -- not least to restore public confidence in its credibility."

My thoughts exactly. Via.
