Pushed To The Edge

Not much time for a serious entry on this but....

This mornings news included this story from Yahoo. I caught the story on NPR this morning on my way in to work as well and the media pretty much had be believing this guy was evil and guilty. That is until I read this:

Kemp said that Ivins' death was the result of the government's "relentless pressure of accusation and innuendo"


That hit a little too close to home for me. Not that I had to put up with anything like "relentless pressure" but I do know what it's like to be under suspicion for something you would never do. I completely understand what could drive an innocent man to kill himself under these circumstances.

I am, like Mr. Kemp, saddened that the matter won't go to court now. It would have been good to know the truth. On the other hand, getting to that point is often more than the human soul can withstand, even if the truth is favorable.

I'm right with you...

I was thinking along the same lines, but I was specifically thinking, "Did this guy really kill himself?"  This has patsy written all over it.

I guess that this guy's death will mean the close of the investigation, and the public will say, "Wow, the FBI really did a great job!"  The only way this could have been more poetic is if he had a stomach full of coedine on a "grassy knoll" or something...
