New Scientific Evidence Emerges In Anthrax Case
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."
You think this bunch would worry about a few post office employees or mail room people dying?
No, of course not. They, personally, like it when the little guy dies horribly. They want children to starve, endangered species to become extinct, and senior citizens to have to eat dog food. They actually want those tings, as you know. It's good of you to point that out, though, just in case someone who hadn't made up their mind yet can safely settle on them as cartoon villains. Certainly they're worse, of course, than the previous "bunch," who were perfectly happy to see someone like Vince Foster "commit suicide" while their history of crooked dealings was on parade. What? That's crazy talk? Oh.
Don't disappoint your bird dog. Go to the range.
Actually, it's not a stretch at all. The Bush family and the Bin Laden family have been close friends and business partners for decades. That is half the point of this whole line of inquiry. Or have you not seen the footage of Bush Sr. kissing the arab dude? I'd love to be a loon and making the whole thing up, or frightened for no good reason, and the bill of rights is still safe, JFK was shot from behind, and that Diebold counts our votes. I'd like very much for all of that to be true, but unfortunately the facts surrounding the case DO NOT provide evidence for that hypothesis. Quite the contrary.
Thermate was not a mis-spell. Thermate is different than Thermite, though very similar, it has additional sulfer to speed up and increase the reaction.
It is the way buildings are currently demolished by professionals, and lends itself strongly to Occam's Razor.
Those buildings WERE NOT AIR, and they WERE NOT EMPTY. They had GIANT solid steel beams throughout their entire core. Just do the minimal of research on destruction of sky scrapers. Do even a small comparison of a few demolitions, watch those tapes, review the evidence at hand and tell me how planes melted those central steel columns when jet fuel does not burn hot enough to melt steel that quickly or thoroughly.
Please stop parroting your idiotic philosophical ideas and re-hashed Popular Mechanics references. Read all the various reports, including the scientific peer-reviewed ones, and then draw your own fresh conclusions.
It was painfully evident and obvious that very few of the haters who are also apparently modding me down have done any research, AT ALL.
I hold very few opinions. I hold information based on observation and fact. If you wish to disagree, please use facts.
How about you read some. And try to give us scientific references, as that pop culture you threw at me I've read already, and was not at all impressed, though sometimes Maddox is funnier than others, and sometimes his Conservative-Colbertism is on the money. That article however is not one of them, in my opinion. I like his reviews of children's art, however. Top rate.
Now go and read, and debate this on scientific points, or STFU.
