Scientists Question FBI Probe On Anthrax: "'USAMRIID doesn't deal with powdered anthrax,' said Richard O. Spertzel, a former biodefense scientist who worked with Ivins at the Army lab. 'I don't think there's anyone there who would have the foggiest idea how to do it. You would need to have the opportunity, the capability and the motivation, and he didn't possess any of those.'
Another scientist who worked with Ivins acknowledged it would have been technically possible to manufacture powdered anthrax at Fort Detrick, but unlikely that anyone could have done so without being detected.
'As well as we knew each other, and the way the labs were run, someone would discover what was going on,' said the scientist, 'especially since dry spores were not something that we prepared or worked with.'"
