yes its true. on the front page of the today’s NY Times, it says that the scientist who is the main suspect in the anthrax that killed 5, sickened 17, and set off a panic, was a JUGGLER!!!
BRUCE E. Ivins was a juggler.
Well of course, he was juggling a conspiracy.
(drum please) dah dat dah:p
I’ll be damned…it’s true.
Who are the Frederick jugglers?
and more importantly…
How can we turn this into a Gatto -VS- Garfeild thread?
Which one, Gatto or Garfeild, would be more willing to juggle 5 glass balls filled with anthrax?
Like you expected anything less?
Gatto, if you paid him enough!
Garfield, if you promised never to move your feet while juggling again.
Nooo… it can’t be true but can he juggle hand grenades 
today’s headlines about him are getting worse…
the difference between legal evidence and scientific evidence–scienists don’t think there’s a sufficient link between our juggler and the crime.
Scientist Gerry Andrews examinied the FBI material, and concludes “the investigators provide no details of the scientific methods they used to make this match [between the anthrax-laced letters to a unique DNA footprint of a single anthrax spore preparation in one flask that had been in Dr. Ivin’s custody] or how they employed them”
“That’s a problem, because without such detail it is hard to tell if they specifically ruled out a similar match between the anthrax in the letters and anthrax preparations with the same DNA footprint kept at a number of other labs around the country. …Why not provide enough detail about their procedure to enable other scientists to tell whether they could actually single out Dr. Ivin’s spore preparation as the culprit?”

there’s also an article on the front page of today’s NYTimes about the simple impact of being under investigation, under suspicion.
a number of scientists suffered tremendously. one drank himself to death. a number of broken marriages, widespread paranoia.
it’s what happens to you when you’re under suspicion. the fbi began by sending 30,000 members of the microbiology association letters stating some of you undoubtedly know the killer. give us information.
