Anthrax "suspect" dead: a set up?

So the supposed suspect, Ivins, waxed grandiosely at some point and had hatred in him. Sounds like a fairly typical person, in some respects, so we need to see more detail that shows why and how the FBI decided that Ivins was much worse. When someone just happens to mail anthrax to supposedly Democratic broadcasters and a journalist at a Popejoy sheet, the Inquirer's owner in years past, the pattern isn't consistent. Popejoy was know to be unusually conservative, not like Rather, Daschle, and such. So, we don't see a consistent idelogical slant. Which begs the question: were both sides of the spectrum targeted to put fear into the media? The irony is that the antrhrx mailings happened shortly after 9-11 just when Bush, Rumsfeld and Cheney were reportedly fishing for an excuse to attack Iraq as part of a revenge op. But Saddam had absolutely nothing to do with Al Queda, as US intelligence has affirmed. Meanwhile, Cheney continues to this day to try to paint Saddam as somehow implicated with Bin Laden in the 9-11 attacks. Why?

In short, we see very real motives in the Bush camp for possibly staging the anthrax attacks to whip up fear and calls for war against Saddam, who was loosely labeled as suspect in the anthrax attacks. If you think back to the time of the anthrax mailings, it was obvious that Saddam Hussein wouldn't have done an attack against liberals only, nor would he have had motive to go after a Generoso Popejoy employee (Inquirer Publications). But from the Bush perspective, to put fear into liberals and near-hysteria in people who open letters dsily, the anthrax attacks would have been a convenient way to let Bush attack Iraq without much media criticism.

Journalists need to be doing deep background checks on Ivins--his friendships, any covert roles, any unsual boasts or affiliations at Ft. Detrick, which is the top level of biowar secrecy classification in the whole US government. IF he was nuts, how did he get THAT job? What do his friends say? Please, dig deeper.
