The media has been characterizing Dr. Ivins as being a "homicidal sociopath", yet every bad thing we're hearing about the man is coming from only two sources: a "therapist" and a brother he hadn't spoken to in more than 20 years.

Let's start with the therapist, a woman with a long police record including multiple recent DUIs.
Look at the affidavit she filed. Let's see what she says:

"client has a history dating to his graduate days of homicidal threats, actions, plans, threats & actions towards theripist [sic]."

How would a fellow with a history of homicidal threats "dating back to his graduate days" ever get the kind of security clearance he had that allowed him to do the work that he did at Ft. Detrick?

And why doesn't a "therapist" know how to spell the name of their own profession?

 

"Dr. David Irwin his py psychiatrist called him homicidal, sociopathic with clear intentions"

Would the man not have been committed to a psychiatric institution if this were the case?

In court, the "therapist" testified:

"As far back as the year 2000, the respondent has actually attempted to murder several other people, either through poisoning. He is a revenge killer. When he feels that he's been slighted or has had — especially toward women — he plots and actually tries to carry out revenge killings," Duley said.

This is a pretty bold, if slightly incoherent, statement for a therapist to make. "He is a revenge killer" On what conviction or even accusation does she base that statement? "...He plots and actually tries to carry out revenge killings."

How would she know this to be a fact? And why is the media reporting it as if it were?

There's not one incident lodged in the law enforcement ledgers to back up this incredible accusation.

Unlike Jean C. Duley, the man had absolutely no criminal record, no allegations from local law enforcement that he was ever a menace to anyone.

CNN reports that during "group therapy":

Ivins said he had bought a bullet-proof vest and obtained a gun after learning of the pending charges, Duley said.

"He was going to go out in a blaze of glory," testified Duley, who said that Ivins also threatened her.

And nobody called the police? In reality there would have likely been more than one 911 recording tied to that incident.

Here's what the estranged brother brings into the dialogue:
 

Ivins brother Tom lives in Middletown, about 10 miles from Lebanon. He hasn't talked to Bruce in 20 years, and said nothing to defend his brother.

"It was his own fault, I thought," said Tom Ivins. "What he did, he screwed himself up. He got involved with the wrong people."

Got involved with the wrong people??? How would he know?

Unless that's what he'd been told by the FBI. Did the FBI tell Tom Ivins that his brother got involved with the "wrong people"? If that's the case, that implies that Bruce Ivins wasn't acting alone. That means there was a conspiracy. Although it all merely sounds like the babbling of an envious ne'er-do-well brother to me.

We can see the sibling rivalry at play in a quote from brother Tom in a Minneapolis/St. Paul Star Tribune article titled, objectively enough, "A Science Nerd With a Dark Side":
 

"He was a bookworm," said Tom Ivins, 72, of Middletown, Ohio, who said he had been estranged from his youngest brother for two decades. He conceded the possibility that his brother may have been the anthrax mailer. "It makes sense, what the social worker said," Tom Ivins said. "He considered himself like a god."

All of this flies in the face of the picture that friends, neighbors and co-workers paint of a man who played music in church, juggled at Red Cross fundraisers, and wrote and performed songs for retiring co-workers (and was awarded the highest honor the Department of Defense gives to civilians).

The government and the media are going to convict this guy who's too dead to fight back, for all of history, while the real killers roam free.

Demand an autopsy and a full investigation into the death of Bruce Ivins, and the events that led up to it.

Update #1: Look how she spells Ft. Detrick on page three of the affidavit:

She must not be from around there. Could she be the same "Jean Duley" who turned up on Channel 2 in Houston bragging about her dental implants in 2005. Houston, Texas, as we know, is the home of more than one scandal involving George W. Bush and suicide.
