This guy did it right.

Quote:
WASHINGTON - Federal prosecutors investigating the 2001 anthrax attacks were planning to indict and seek the death penalty against a top Army microbiologist who was developing a vaccine against the deadly toxin. The scientist apparently committed suicide this week.

The scientist, Bruce E. Ivins, was a leading anthrax researcher for the past 18 years at the government's biodefense labs at Fort Detrick, Md.
...
Ivins died Tuesday at Frederick Memorial Hospital in Maryland. The Los Angeles Times, which first reported the investigation, said the scientist had taken a massive dose of a prescription Tylenol mixed with codeine. A woman who answered the phone at Bruce Ivins' home in Frederick declined to comment.

Tom Ivins, a brother of the scientist, told The Associated Press that his other brother, Charles, had told him that Bruce committed suicide and Tylenol might have been involved.

Tom Ivins said Friday that federal officials working on the anthrax case questioned him about his brother a year and a half ago. "They said they were investigating him," he said from Ohio, where he lives, in a CNN interview.

If the guy was a serious terror suspect, he would have been in Gitmo or some other federal facility already. He was probably 'suicided' to cover up something else.

You mean he was "Vincent Foster(ed)"?

George Bush orchestrated the anthrax attacks, and this guy was murdered to cover it up.
