taken account of that other side of the profit making industry about this but ivan's is dead bruce ivansis dead case is closed the f.b.i. has said that they would present their case against ivan's have they done that and are is there any evidence really against ivan stare. i mean the evidence is flimsy at best i mean right after he you know supposedly committed suicide the f.b.i. went and did a press conference presenting their case to the american public and you know the guy who presented this case he's sweating he's studied meanwhile the press is asking him questions and the best evidence they came up with is that bruce i haven't had a history of mental illness i'm sorry but one in five americans suffers from mental illness that's statistically shown so that's not proof of his guilt that's a smear campaign and then on top of that the physical evidence they say that they have is a flask that was found in his home that contained anthrax spores the same stores that were at fort dietrich maryland well if you work with the anthrax in your bio weapons lab technician i mean the chances of you

him by showing her photos of dead anthrax victims wow really going for the juggler there and then bruce ivans died he's alleged to have killed himself by overdosing on tylenol which is one of the most painful ways that someone could choose to kill themselves considering how it takes two full days for your liver to talk so if i if otherwise healthy now after ivan's died the f.b.i. had a press conference saying that they would soon present the case against ivan's to this day we're still waiting for that evidence needless to say some lingering questions remain about the anthrax attacks so let's continue to ask them. directly after the nation was in a paralyzed state of fear from the attacks of nine eleven the anthrax attacks happened terrorism was no longer localized it was now something that could happen to anyone anywhere now eleven years on and with the main suspect dead the case is closed or is it do we really know the truth and why are these attacks significant tell me break it all down i'm joined by robbie martin journalist for media roots dot org hey robbie thanks for coming on. good so r
