10. For instance, as I write today (February 20, 2010), the U.S. Justice Department has announced it is officially closing its case on the 2001 anthrax bioterrorism scare, which killed five people in the United States; evidence produced by the FBI suggests the incident was in fact a domestic one, perpetrated by an army microbiologist, Bruce Ivins, who later committed suicide.
