The Mirage man

Bruce Ivins, the anthrax attacks, and America's rush to war

The 2001 anthrax mailings,which came right after the 9/11 attacks, triggered one of the biggest and most complicated investigations in American history. Sent anonymously from a mailbox in New Jersey, the anthrax contents killed five pople and infected an additional seventeen victims, disrupted the mail, and had everyone concerned that a second terrorist attack was underway. The answer to the question of who was responsible would take years, target an innocent man, and, in the end embarrass the FBI because of its flawed investigative work.
