Meh.
Ivins was railroaded but this isn't the holy grail. Carry on.
Anthrax spores don't match dead researcher's samples

Poisonous anthrax that killed five Americans in the weeks after the Sept. 11, 2001 terror attacks doesn't match bacteria from a flask linked to Bruce Ivins, the researcher who committed suicide after being implicated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, a scientist said.
Spores used in the deadly mailings "share a chemical 'fingerprint' that is not found in the flask linked to Bruce Ivins," Roberta Kwok wrote in Nature News, citing Joseph Michael, a scientist at the Sandia National Laboratories in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
Michael analyzed letters sent to the New York Post and offices of Senators Tom Daschle and Patrick Leahy, and found a distinct "chemical signature" not present in the flask known as RMR-1029, which Ivins could access in his laboratory at Fort Detrick, Maryland.
``Spores from two of those show a distinct chemical signature that includes silicon, oxygen, iron, and tin; the third letter had silicon, oxygen, iron and possibly also tin,'' Kwok wrote. ``Bacteria from Ivins' RMR-1029 flask did not contain any of those four elements.''

He shouldn't have killed himself if he wasn't guilty.
maybe he didn't?
In other news, Rusty Hardin has concluded that Roger Clemens never used performance enhancing drugs; Johnny Cochran is sure the glove never belonged to OJ; the Iraqi Information Minister is sure the infidel armies will be repelled and Baghdad will remain safely in control with Saddam at the helm; and the King is pretty sure Columbus won't reach the New World.
Every man has his breaking point. But this is a good point.
Open your eyes.
There is no way in Bruce Ivin did this...he simply did not have the means to weaponize anthrax without getting busted...
That's why he got busted.
