And, about that fishy anthrax business...

I was wondering whatever happened.
A federal appeals court has reinstated a libel suit against the New York Times filed by a former Army scientist who claims one of the paper's columnists unfairly linked him to the deadly anthrax mailings in 2001.

Steven Hatfill sued the Times for a series of columns written by Nicholas Kristof that faulted the FBI for failing to thoroughly investigate Hatfill for the anthrax mailings that left five people dead.

Somehow we just never did seem to concern ourselves much with the fact that no one was ever busted on the anthrax killings. Maybe Hatfill's suit will raise the issue again.
