Dr. Kenneth Berry hasn't been linked to any crime.

The former Wellsville physician whose homes were searched in connection with the anthrax killings has visited Wellsville recently, and is living on unemployment in New Jersey, according to a friend.
"Who's going to hire him?" asked the friend, the Rev. Richard "Pastor Dick" Helms of Wellsville.

Dr. Kenneth M. Berry lost his job as an emergency room doctor at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center in McKeesport, Pa., last year after his name surfaced in the anthrax investigation.

His home on East Pearl Street in Wellsville and a home in New Jersey were searched by agents from the FBI and the U.S. Postal Service on Aug. 5. The searches were part of the investigation into a series of anthrax terrorism incidents that killed five people and caused serious illnesses to 17 others in September and October 2001.

1. That's not fair.

I think they know who did it, but because he is a Republican, they won't arrest him. Instead, they ruin other lives with insinuations.

Why did George W. Bush start taking Cipro on 9/11 and start talking about anthrax if none of the letters had yet been received? The rest of us didn't know about the letters yet. We didn't know there was a danger from a biological agent. How did he know?
Why were the letters timed to coincide with 9/11 and there haven't been any more since then?
Why were they only sent to Dems or the "Liberal" press? If this was an attack from a foreign agent, wouldn't they target the people in power, and not the minority party leaders?

I feel sorry for these poor scapegoats.
