...FBI says it is briefing the families of the five people who died in the anthrax attacks before it releases further information to the public. So it may be days before we know what evidence the government actually has against Ivins...
...when it comes to the FBI and the anthrax investigation (or "Amerithrax," as the Feds so inelegantly call it), things are rarely as they first appear. Ivins had been cooperating with the FBI for six years, according to his attorney. In other cases, that's what happens when the FBI doesn't have a smoking gun but wants to wear a suspect down into confessing.

Early in The X Files: I Want to Believe, Fox Mulder (David Duchovny) and Dana Scully (Gillian Anderson), long ago demobbed from the FBI, are back in the Bureau's headquarters, waiting outside a closed door to take a meeting with their former colleagues.

...Hamdan made himself useful as a mechanic and driver. He ultimately ended up serving bin Laden himself as a chauffeur and bodyguard, following the al-Qaeda leader when he relocated for security reasons to Tarnak Farms, a walled compound 30 minutes outside Kandahar. According to both al-Bahri and fbi interrogator Ali Soufan, Hamdan had bin Laden's trust but was not a member of his inner circle. Their accounts differ when it comes to Hamdan's level of involvement with al-Qaeda. Al-Bahri characterized him as a circumstantial participant, someone with limited options who just needed...
