just want an opponent to get a card. I watched the men&#39;s world
cup and saw a guy get a red card for a play, and when the replay
was shown on TV it was clear that the guy on the ground was never
even TOUCHED by the other player, that he completely took a dive
and was rolling around, moaning about something that never
happened. I think I like the attitude in baseball, which is you
never show pain, never grab where it hurts.  &#39;ve heard that some

knowingly involved. Very depressing. Did you ever notice how
people talk about the "Funny Farm" and the "Loony Bin," but they
don&#39;t talk about the "epilepsy farm" or the "arthritis bin?" My
psychiatrist  I met with him today  described the whole thing

from hell, I had to get an attorney from Rockville. He talked to
my attorney in Frederick and I guess talked to the Department of

where I am. I can remember how I loved getting away from home and
going to college. Then I went to graduate school. I was very
hesitant about going for a doctorate, instead of just a masters
degree, but I got them both, then did a couple of postdocs. Then
I wound up at USAMRIID. I had lots of good experiences there, but

Hi. I&#39;m still recovering from my twin experiences before the L7E
amerithrax grand jury. The metro rides were the only enjoyable
part. They asked "gotcha!" type questions and very personal
questions related to email conversations between people. Theknow evervthinq about the personal and professional lives[::%:::]
: I I Eventually a trial will come, and
we&#39;ll be dragged up to the witness chair to testify, and that&#39;s
when the other side wil start dragging us through the dirt. It&#39;s
a lawyer&#39;s job to sully the personal and professional reputations
of witnesses on the other side. For me it means people finding
out that I&#39;m a slob, keep poor records, am lousy at math, and see
a psychiatrist. There are things that others would prefer not be
spread around. I&#39;m planning on leaving at the end of September of
2008.

The FBI said they want to call everybody in my familyto the grand

unpleasant things that went on during that time.

I had to go and testify before the anthrax grand
jury...twice. I&#39;m not allowed to say anymore than it was a b6
dreadful experience. Basically I can talk about the ride on the bjc
metro, and that&#39;s about it. I have no enthusiasm for b/D
science at all anymore. I could be equally satisfied if I worked
the graveyard shift at WalMart. Probably more so.| |
I I I can see why and how some people
just reach a stage in their lives that they just don&#39;t give a

Iowever, the
FBI has pulled EVERYBODY&#39;S email to and from everybody else and
has gone over them with a finetooth comb. They&#39;ve pulled out
I couldn t believe theyrd
ask that, then ask if I had had very&#39; &#39; &#39; &#39; D£QDlFJ
I I They accused
me of diluting, altering or adulterating an important preparation
of anthrax material. The grand jury was also very
accusatory. I&#39;m fortunately taking a lot of medication for
depression, but that&#39;s only helping some. I also have to use a
lot of caffeine in the morning, and then alcohol and sleeping
pills at night. Do you realize that if anybody gets indicted for
even the most remote reason with respect to the anthrax letters 
something as simple as not locking up spore preps to restrict
them from only people in our lab - they face the death penalty?
Playing any part, even a minor part such as providing information
about how to make spores, or how to
make them in broth, how to harvest and purify that could wind up
putting one or more hapless persons on death row. Not
pleasant to think about.
In one of your recent emails you said that it would all be over
soon. If they indict someone, that means that innocent people are
going to get dragged through the mud by both the defense and the
prosecution as the pretrial and trial procedures move forward.
The FBI knows about my psychiatric woes and my family situation.Iiib6

BRUCE IVINS:
IVINS has not been in the hot suite for some time;
however, IVINS is very anxious to regain access to the hot

IVINS has relayed to his coworkers that he has recently
changed his medication and feels better.
IVINS was very anxious to regain
entry into the hot suite.
IVINS is aware that the FBI was in the[;;suite and
had taken items from the freezer in there. IVINS as done "a
lot of whining" about the FBI being in the B5 suite. IVINS&#39;s
continues to "stir the pot"| |
It is the general opinion of IVINSs coworkers that
based upon his long term depression, as well as, his previous
3lQppvL£;antic work in the hot suite, he is a safety issue.
IVINS does not use written protocols, and when asked
to show others how to make spores, IVINS flies through the
process my memory, and when asked how to repeat a step or
guidance IVINS will not say the same thing twice. IVINS does
not want other people to learn his craft.
Prior to the most recent interview with the FBI,
IVINS continually said how he could not wait to retire, yet
when persons were assigned to him to learn his role with the
understanding that IVINS would teach them how to do it [make

given them such incomplete or hurried
steps/procedures/instructions that it makes it impossible for
those persons to learn IVINSs trade.
After the recent events, IVINS was given the
opportunity to take administrative leave, which was viewed by
his coworkers, as the opportunity to fulfill his retirement
desires. Instead of taking administrative leave, IVINS took
sick leave which was initially believed to have been from the
day after his most recent FBI interview to the start of the
New Year. However, IVINS was back in the office within a
couple of weeks. CHS opined IVINS has no intention of
retiring, otherwise he would of trained those persons, and
would have simply taken administrative leave.

I Things slowed
down and there wasn&#39;t a lot of work in the lab in the latter part
of 2001,J I
[::::::] can think of no reason for IVINS to be working
long nighttime hours in the August to October 2001 time-frame.
There was not much work going on in IVINS lab at the time and the
only study being conducted was the guinea pig strain study, which
may have required entry into the suites to check on the animals.
However, checking the animals would have only taken approximately
30 minutes.
[::::::]indicated that in the 2001 timeframe it was
common for IVINS and other anthrax researchers to refer to the Ames
strain as such.

muc . A ditionally, he didn&#39;t remember telling the FBI that[::::]
did it [mailed the anthrax letters].[:::::::] noted that IVINS
seemed to forget a lot of things.
1 [:::::::]asked IVINS a question alon the lines of: could"the other BRUCE" have mailed the le ° [i%:::::] &#39; tters. didn t recall
him sayin "no," nor did he take offense to the question. Itseemed to%::] as if he had thought of that before.
IVINS told[:::::::]that his attorney told him that with
his dealings with the FBI, sometimes IVINS plays a puppy that wants
to appease, and sometimes he plays juniordetective. IVINS has
spent over $100 thousand dollars from his retirement fund, on his
attorney. The next time IVINS has to testify, he will have to have
a proffer. According to IVINS, the JAG on post wont allow anyone
to talk to his attorneys.
IVINS relayed that the way the FBI was treatin him madehim go over the edge, especially around November [2007].i |
In IVINSs last interview [with the FBI] he was told the
mate &#39; &#39;n the letters had colony morphology variance. The waythattiiif:jlab did it was to pick a single colony so they wouldn&#39;t
have the morphology variance. One would have to swipe over a plate
to get the morphology variance. IVINS claimed his microbiology
background taught him to always pick a single colony.
IVINS talked about the submissions that[::::::::::::hvINs
made to the [FBI anthrax] Repository. He claimed that the first
. submission was fine, however, someone threw it away; and the second
submission is where the morphologies were seen.
IVINS spoke about the polygraph he took [for the
investigation] and that he passed some questions but failed the one
about taking stuff from work.

IVINS: I know that certain people fit in with certain other
people. Diversity can be good, but some diversity
 poor hygiene, swearing like a sailor, bigotry, back-
stabbing other people, etc.! can be something that
would make a lot of people cautious about associating
with them very much. I don&#39;t think that because one is
Jewish, or of Asian ancestry, not very athletic, that
they should be automatically denied admission into a
quality GLOs. I do realize that certain GLOs are
almost exclusively Jewish, or Black. I also know that
there are some GLOs  Sigma Sigma Sigma comes to mind!
that are made fun of because they have a lot of heavy
members. At the University of Cincinnati, Sigma Nu was
supposedly the "Nerd" fraternity, but I thought the

IVINS:guys in it were great. If I hadn&#39;t lived off campus in
an apartment with 3 other guys, I would have suicide
pledged Sigma Nu.
 A blindfold is NOT, NOT, NOT hazing! I&#39;ve heard of
Bachelorette parties where the participants "Pin the
Macho on the Man." Is that hazing? No way. Silliness
can be bonding. Working together for a common cause is
bonding. I hope you didn&#39;t have to change your whole
ritual so that blindfolds were totally forbidden during
the formal ritual. I would think that when a pledge
has her big sister  or whoever! take off her blindfold,
it can be a breathtaking, beautiful experience.
Besides, I didn&#39;t think that the burned pledges were
blindfolded during the cigarette burning anyway. What
about trust walks? What about pinatas on Cinco de
Mayo? Can&#39;t some common sense be used? You know when
you&#39;re being whisked away early in the morning that
you&#39;re going somewhere, you and the other pledges are
feeling a bonding in the silliness, and you&#39;ll be
rewarded with breakfast. Any time somebody wants to
wake me up at 5:30 and take me to IHOP, I&#39;m ready.!
IVINS: I dunno, by the time I was in school, hazing just
wasn&#39;t done. I think probably because public schools
didn&#39;t paddle anymore and physical punishment was
frowned on  which means kids don&#39;t grow up with the

mixed message that adults can paddle but kid&#39;s
can&#39;t...I imagine it was different when you grew up
though - did you ever witness it  or receive? You were
probably a good kid :! I only got paddled once when I
attended Catholic elementary school  I don&#39;t think it
much worked  and the result is I&#39;m now protestant 
haha.!
Wow...here I am, a nonGreek, being "proGreek" and
agreeing with you about hazingllli I bet that members
who witnessed both the "old" and the "new" ritual think
that the old one was much better. It would have been a
binding, beautiful experience, one in which, both
symbolically and in reality. pledges/new members come
into the Light and the Knowledge. The new one you
/talked about seems almost like a bunch of people who
like each other living in the same building. Your
ritual should be a special, bonding experience, and
simply walking into a room with your eyes open, closed,
or blinking, just doesn&#39;t seem to hold the same mystery
or power. BTW I think this is privileged, but didn&#39;t
they call Big sisters and Little sisters Didaska*****
and Mathe******.  Sorry about my nonGreek abilities!!
I saw a youtube "trust" project where they blindfolded
a young woman at a Christian camp and had her stand on
a board. They pretended to raise the board, then
dumped her off it. She lay on the floor crying. It
was very sad, and I know that if it had been a college
sorority, it would have made the na ional news. So
much for airness in media. I actua ly wrote about it
in Greek at.com under the name Go en hoenix.
Did you ever go to a cursillo/de colores weekend?  I
can&#39;t remember if you said that before!. I attended a
youth version of one and the trust walk/blindfold was
really integral to the experience. But, no one accuses
churches of hazing. I think people form a stereotype
of what they expect then look for the evidence to V
support the theory. My only experience with a trust
walk was being an obstacle in one! It was at the
Newman Center at the University of Cincinnati. I had
just had an operation to repair my ankle, and was on
crutches, so I sat on the floor, and people got guided
around me, over my crutches. It was neat to watch how
important both trust and responsibility are. That&#39;s
why I think that it&#39;s a good thing in GLOs and other
organizations. I agree that if it&#39;s hazing for a non
GLOS, then it should be hazing for a GLOS. Maybe,

IVINS.hopefully, Kappa and other GLOs can chart a course that
reasonable people would not consider to be
unacceptable. The key word is "reasonable." If you
can do it in church camp, at a bachelorette party, etc.
then a GLOS should be able to do it.
If you want me to get you the youtube video, I can
probably look it up, but it should be findable if you
go to my Goldenphoenix posts.
 My congratulations to all of you. If Kappa has
something going on this summer  like donating books!,
I&#39;d love to hear about it, provided it&#39;s in the area.

 I know! I&#39;ve been at Ft. Detrick since 1980. I&#39;ve
seen a lot of things. But did you ever stop to think
of all the things that Laura Ingalls Wilder  Little
House on the Prairie! saw? Kerosene lamps,
electricity, radios, automobiles, airplanes,
television, phonographs, jet planes. What a
life!!!!!!! g
I love the proverb "May you live in interesting times"
I think it is meant to be a bit of a curse, but I find
it exciting. Having come of age just on the beginning
of the internet era I am curious to see where it all
goes  I imagine it will be as transformative as the
industrial age was to agrarian society.
Are you principally in software, hardware, program-

Double Standard
Please check out this "Trust Fall" video - the first
young woman, especially. She&#39;s terrified and winds up
weeping afterward. Had this been a GLOS, the "hazing
story" would have been splashed all over front pages of
newspapers across the country. But since it&#39;s just a
religious youth group, nothing happens. Talk about a
double standard with respect to hazing and GLOs....

when interacting with individuals. Ivins also has a history of
using fictitious names, addresses and other information to
register for e-mail accounts. Ivins, in the past, has been
known to use Yahool, America Online  ADL! and other email
accounts.
Based on the above mentioned information, a web
search was conducted for the term "BRUCEIVI" on 07/15/2008.
The search returned a link to a youtube.com posting of a video
clip of season 1 of "The Mole." Also posted on the link are
multiple web log comments by an individual using the screen
name "bruceivi." The comments were posted as follows:
bruceivi  week ago!E:::::]had a great chance to Kill[:::::::]that would go dprimo moment in realitY TV. After the fake fainting he&#39;d say,
do you know what a mole is? It&#39;s a blind useless,animal that humans
hate. And do you know what we do to moles? We kill them!"
bruceivi  week ago!
With that he should have taken the hatchet and brought it down hard and
sharply across her neck, severing her carotid artery and jugular vein.
Ther1when.she hits the ground, he completes the task:on the other side
of the neck, severing her trachea as well . The "Blind" mole is dead and
Steve is a hero among heroes! I personally would have paid big money to
have done it myself.
bruceivi  week ago!
Maybe something really dreadful will happen td::::::::::::::] If so,
she will richly deserve it! The least someone could do would be to take
a sharp ballpoint pin or letter opener and put her eyes out, to
complete the task of making her a true mole!
