Farhad Manjoo reviews the growing conspiracy theories regarding the post-9/11 anthrax attacks.
For what it's worth, I am not a big believer in most conspiracy theories. I'm convinced Lee Harvey Oswald was a lone gunman. I'm convinced O.J. Simpson was a lone knifeman. I'm convinced the 9/11 attacks were just what they appeared and not some controlled demolition arranged by Dick Cheney. But what's been released so far to prove that Bruce Ivins was the anthrax attacker (and the only one involved) strikes me as pretty flimsy. He may well be exactly what they say but the FBI statements have a strong air of "Hey, we say he did it, the case is closed, stop asking questions!"
