2001 anthrax suspect kills self
A huge story in the LATimes saying that the latest suspect in the anthrax mailings in 2001 has committed suicide as the FBI was "closing in."
They have a huge amount of detail, but they don't get at the core questions. If it was this quiet scientist guy from Ft. Detrick why would he steal anthrax? Did he mail it himself? Did he sell it?
(And this is probably worth reading. Glenn Greenwald re-asking why ABC will not reveal the four sources for reporting that the anthrax attacks could have only come from Saddam Hussein.)

Greenwald's post is pretty compelling. These four "sources" seem to have played the same role with ABC that Ahmad Chalibi did with Judith Miller's stories in the NYT.
There may be nothing behind this false story but an innocent mistake. But there may be much, much more there. It definitely deserves investigating. But ABC isn't talking, and no one in the government seems interested in following where this might lead.
