Anthrax Suspect Dead

Drudge posts this frontpage article about a biomedical scientist who worked for the government that committed suicide. He was the lead suspect in the 2001 anthrax killings. Amazingly, he was awarded with an award by the Pentagon in 2003 for his lifelong service, and was himself working on a series of anthrax vaccines. The FBI suspected that he released the anthrax virus to test his vaccine. If so, that's straight of a comic book. Several close to him, as well as he himself before he committed suicide, deny his involvement.
