Reply #22: Ivins colleagues clearly aren't giving up

[suffragette]

And although the FBI keeps trying to slam the door shut, they haven't been able to.

Here's yet another item that points out issues with the FBI's portrayal of Ivins:

Tuesday, in response to a Freedom of Information Act request, the Army released copies of Ivins' personnel file.

Army officials redacted the bodies of Ivins' performance reviews, citing a FOIA exemption protecting against the release of intra-agency memos and letters.

Army regulations require individuals whose duties include working with select agents, such as anthrax or Ebola, to be certified as reliable under the Biological Personnel Reliability Program. This includes a review of the individual's personnel file, medical records, the results of a background check and drug testing.

On Ivins personnel screening and evaluation form, officials certified that they found no information that would preclude Ivins from working with select agents.

So, Ivins was certified as reliable. Again, no match there to the FBI's characterization of him as unstable. In fact, I'd say reliable is pretty much the opposite of that.
