How this impacts on our wealth husbanding strategies is anybody's guess but things of this nature seem to be quite popular here in the danker corridors of iTulip.
In today's NYTimes is what the publisher calls the most extensive investigation to date into the anthrax attacks.
A few excerpts:
"Still, doubts persist. The case will be reviewed this year by the National Academy of Sciences and by Congress. If the F.B.I. is wrong, then a troubled man was hounded to death and the anthrax perpetrator is still at large, as many of Dr. Ivins’s colleagues at Fort Detrick believe. When institute scientists began their own review of the evidence, nervous Army officials ordered the inquiry dropped.
"In November, four of Dr. Ivins’s closest co-workers wrote a glowing obituary of their “valued collaborator” for Microbe, the leading microbiology journal. It did not mention the anthrax accusations and was a singular protest by the four scientists against the F.B.I.’s conclusion.
“His colleagues and friends will remember him not only for his dedication to his work,” the obituary said, “but also for his humor, curiosity and great generosity.”
The New York Times then performs a bit of character assassination sleight of hand:
"F.B.I. agents, moreover, have shown that Dr. Ivins, a church musician and amateur juggler whom colleagues cherished, hid from them a shadow side of mental illness, alcoholism, secret obsessions and hints of violence."
Okay, guys, how could a juggler abuse alcohol. I ask you. (Most of the last paragraph is innuendo gobbledygook, a charge familiar with investment advisers that don't read iTulip)
Personally, I have no idea about the accuracy of the government's story. Many comments litter iTulip about disbelieving Conspiracy Theories. Okay, who would believe everything every no-nothing stitches together. The one thing I do know is no one trumps the gov for Conspiracy Whoppers. Remember VP Cheney's press conference when he told us that Bin had an executive cave complex that rivaled Dr. No's? And not just one but many. When our boys penetrated the redoubt of Tora Bora we got to see those caves. About the size of an old phone booth, with a few wooden crates of AK-47 ammo. They didn't even have a bare light bulb hanging from a rock ledge.
Perhaps I wander....
The only reservation I have with the official story is how seamlessly convenient it was to scare whatever gumption was left in our pathetic Congress to midnight express the Patriot (gutting) Act.
