Anthrax Killer: Pick a Motive, AnyMotive
By encinoman
Perhaps prodded by Salon&;s Glenn Greenwald, the press is finally taking a healthy dose of skepticism to the FBI&;s claims to have &;closed&; the anthrax murder investigation with the conviction death of Dr. Bruce Ivins.
In documents released Wednesday, prosecutors suggested several possible motives, none of them particularly convincing — from concern that the vaccine program Ivins worked in was in trouble to his dislike of Catholic senators who favor abortion rights.
Then there was his financial motive for developing an anthrax vaccine, Ivins as a homicidal maniac, and the catch-all &;mental illness made him do it.&;
The more motives the merrier&;and the less credible.
