The title of the thread is vastly misleading.

The content of the article is simply the details of the conclusion, known for quite awhile, that the anthrax came from government labs.

A direct quote from the article:

[It was this key information that helped the FBI to rule out the likelihood that a terrorist organization was behind the anthrax mailings and prompted the agency to turn its attention to U.S. government labs as the possible source of the anthrax. This move eventually led the agency to conclude that Bruce Ivins, a scientist at the U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases (USAMRIID), a federal biodefense research laboratory at Fort Detrick, Md., who initially assisted with the investigation, was the culprit.]

Mr. Ivins does not equal the US government.

Wow, a disgruntled US Gov't employee, who would have ever thought that possible.

Read between the line. Do you really think one crazy scientist went after people who were trying to find the truth about the 9/11 attacks? Surprising how he wasn't trying to kill Republicans with anthrax.
