As probable bioterrorists go, Bruce Ivins was a near perfect suspect. Among the hundreds of pages of evidence that the FBI had mounted against him (which were released last week), there were electronic records documenting Ivins' late-night sojourns in the lab, e-mails revealing a mind wracked by paranoia and an inventory of a November 2007 FBI search of his home, which turned up a paperback copy of Albert Camus's novel The Plague.
Seriously? That book's presence is some sort of proof of guilt? Any well read person might have that book, does that make everyone a terrorist? I have a book infectious diseases too, LEVEL 4 is the title, should I toss that? I also own 5 bibles, the Communist Manifesto, Milton Friedman, and dozens more. I wonder what case could be made of me (OR ANYONE) if the FBI pulled one book from me bookshelf.
Idiots
