Note the following: 4 made the finest preparations of anthrax spores, an as 3[ _kecretty complained [pou J and then was dishonest about it when confronted by me. 4) [was dishonest when confronted by me with questions concerning the above situation. ) | is extremely familiar with the Northeast, and the letters were mailed from the Northeast. 6 7) Less than a year after the anthrax letter attacks left USAMRIID as an internationally recognized authority on anthrax spores and their production and purification took a job in the private sector LC had the opportunity to make ' ‘anthrax letter spores," and they had the motives. For career a boost would be at the front. For combined also with revenge would be at the front. , 9) | don't know where or from whom they would have obtained knowledge to weaponize spores. Furthermore, | have to wonder if there was outside assistance from one or more individuals - perhaps known a ‘o make the spores into a powder. 10) | also don't know who would have mailed the spores, may have had connections that could accomplish that part of the operation ; 11) Finally, this is merely a theory, not an accusation. For both individuals, motive is present, availability (of the Ames strain of Bacillus anthracis) is present, knowledge of how to make large quantities of pure spores is present. Furthermore, mailing the letters would not have been a roblem. The one piece of the puzzle that would need to be filled is how they weaponi he spores into a powder. Perhaps as able to look the information up or get the information from someone Again, perhaps one or more other individuals were involved in weaponizing their anthrax spores into powder form. 12) Again, this is just an idea, but it's an idea that makes sense. - Bruce Ivins 6/7/2007
