New Scientific Evidence Emerges In Anthrax Case

Posted by kdawson on from the out-of-sequence dept.

sciencehabit writes "A Science Magazine investigation uses clues from a key document unveiled last week to reconstruct the trail that led the FBI to Bruce Ivins. Among the revelations: Anthrax fingerprinting was not critical to the investigation, as many reports have suggested. Rather, brute-force genetic sequencing, with the help of the J. Craig Venter Institute, helped crack the case. New potential motivations by Ivins are also revealed."

    What is really best for the innocent people in Iraq?

    Perhaps that's up to the people of Iraq to decide, not a foreign occupier.

    I may be wrong here, but from what I understand there has been delays setting up a proper government, constitution, etc. in Iraq due to US 'pressure' (read demands). It seems they wish to make Iraq a free market with less regulation than most any other sovereign nation would allow... in other words, a corporate haven (or heaven).
