This Anthrax thing from 2001 wreaks of government conspiracy to me

The press conference is on now, they're going through the facts of the case basically for the public, since the guy responsible killed himself and there won't be a trial I suppose.

62 year old guy who was a high up defense researcher for the US government supposedly acts alone, and starts mailing letters with anthrax out, killing 5 people and injuring more.

Then a week ago he kills himself before his trial starts.

Where's the motive? Crazy scientist? I mean a smart guy like that could kill way more than 5 people with his stash of what they call "highly concentrated" anthrax. There's obviously better delivery methods than mail?

And it just happened to roughly coincide with 9/11? Seems too weird. Don't see a motive, he didn't seem to be connected to a terrorist group, and now he "kills himself" before he stands trial..

Seems to have all the components, and a gentle way to spread terrorist fears around that time..
