Something on the Anthrax Investigation from the Baltimore Sun:
“We’ve been reading about how thorough the Department of Justice is,” said James R.E. Smith, who made anthrax and other bioweapons at Detrick and other Army facilities from 1943 to 1971. “That’s a bunch of nonsense. They haven’t investigated me.”
Smith, 84, now retired in Port Charlotte, Fla., said, “I’ve got the education to do it. I live alone. I’ve got two baths, so I could use one as a lab. I want to be examined as a potential terrorist.”
He added, more seriously, that he is alarmed about the quality of the investigation because it has not scrutinized people like him: “Part of being thorough is talking to people who are knowledgeable about anthrax.”
