HONG KONG — China’s central bank is in a bind.
It has been on a buying binge in the United States over the last seven years, snapping up roughly $1 trillion worth of Treasury bonds and mortgage-backed debt issued by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
Those investments have been declining sharply in value when converted from dollars into the strong yuan, casting a spotlight on the central bank’s tiny capital base. The bank’s capital, just $3.2 billion
--NYT
What magnitude quake was that?
Just pulled up the roots and everything?
Yeah, must be a 12 to 15 foot rootball. Shrubs planted around the base came up w the tree. Luckily no one was hurt
Wow, a humongous six-story tree in my neighborhood just blew over in the wind.
Hecate, Runnymeade Conspirator
Often city trees have crummy root systems, and the ones they have have been cut by street work, sewer repairs, and such.
Last big storm we had in my neighborhood I discovered the topsoil is about a foot deep, and a BIG tree the neighbor had toppled over, and that's just how deep the roots were.
You could buy an ad. That would get his attention.

She's an asshole.
Sago was a headman of the great Chief Kahkewistahaw. When the Northwest Mounted Police, later the Royal Mounted Police of Canada, came to the Cypress Hills with guns, horses and cannons and gattling guns they borrowed from the Americans, the bands who had stayed there were shepherded out forcefully. Those steep, verdant places were sacred to all of the bands. Sago refused to go. Sago and his people remained when all of the bands were marched away at gunpoint to reserves no more than a day’s march from the railways of the Canadian dominion. It was government policy.
Sago and his people clung to those hills, hunted and starving. But they persisted, sustained by their faith. One day a very old woman came to Sago, she said, “I cannot go on Chief.” His people now regarded Sago as a Chief. The very old woman had lost her sight and wished to go to her daughter who lived on the North Saskatchewan River. She asked for her leave from the Chief and he gave it. But they were very poor and desperate. They only one they could afford to accompany the very old blind woman was a very small boy.
So they set out, the very old blind woman and the very small boy. They crossed three-hundred miles, but to the very old blind woman it was not wilderness. She knew it like the back of her hand. The very small boy hunted prairie dogs and small game. They knew where to stop and drink from the hidden springs. They ate and in the long nights discussed the future and the stars. The very old blind woman and the very small boy made it all that way.
Why can't Sarah Palin to talk to the press?
Because she'll blurt out something so National Socialist that the MCM dickweeds can't ignore it.

A worthy celebration!
Many have argued that China’s investment in the US gives China a stake in the United States success, and thus should help to ease other sources of friction. I have always thought it was more likely to itself be a source of friction — in no small part because investments that generate losses tend to be viewed rather differently than investments that produce gains. Creditors through the ages usually think that the debtor’s own behavior is at least partially responsible for the loss.
I don’t think the US can be blamed for the currency losses China is going to incur. The US has consistently indicated that it would not direct its monetary policy toward maintaining the dollar’s external value. But I do think that the US could be blamed if China’s enormous holdings of Agencies ever were not to be repaid in full. Maybe it shouldn’t be blamed, as the US government never guaranteed payment in full. But I also am a realist.

your favorite carrot cake made with hazelnuts & dried cranberries. When it is done (baked in a 13x9 sheet pan) pour this glaze over it...
1 cube unsalted butter, melted
3/4 cup buttermilk
1 cup sugar
1T corn syrup
2 t. vanilla
bring to boil then cook together over low heat for five minutes. When you remove the cake from the oven poke it all over with a fork then pour the glaze over it. Allow the glaze to soak in. Then when it has cooled top with cream cheese frosting.
2 blox softened cream cheese
1 cube softened butter
3 cups sifted confectioner's sugar and
juice and grated rind of 2 lemons
mix the cc & butter in your cuisinart then add the p.s. blend until fluid then add lemon juice.

I would guess not that much compared to Matthews - probably half a mil for Scarborough and a lot less for Buchanan to be constantly on call.
Don't forget that Tweety and Jack Welch both went to Holy Cross and feel some sort of manly frat connection.
The New York senator, 60, knows, however, that Palin represents the biggest obstacle to Democratic victory in November.
I don't think so. She's a base-play. The POW schtick and the still warm (and throbbing) media love--Tweety, Brokaw, Gibson, The Cokester--are much bigger assets for McCain. IMHO.

Will he? After all, he's married to a millionairess, gets full disability, gets Social Security, . . . .
Y'know, how stupid does not just McQuaint but his handlers and the entire RNC have to be to never have had it occur to them, that the amount of this disability payment--I've heard it quoted as $56,000 but don't know if that's precisely accurate--could be donated to, oh let's say Paralyzed Veterans of America? He wouldn't even have to claim it as a charitable deduction if he wanted to be unquestionably noble about it.
He would miss it like you and I miss the change under our car seats.
He doesn't dare do it now of course, as it would be pandering so blatant as to revolt even the worst of them. But the man's been running for president since 2000 if not before, and it never even occurred to him to do this. If he would have started it back then, he could now arrange for it to be quietly leaked. This would take about half the air out of the Gigolo John balloon.

I see that Alaska doesn't have the death penalty, so Sarah didn't have that option. Maybe evilness is partly defined by opportunity...

2) the insinuation that Hillary ought to be taking on Palin is really sort of insulting to Hillary.
Palin's primary role is not as Official Vagina of the McCain campaign. Her primary role is as Jim Dobson's appointed succubus.
To that end we should probably be enlisting Bill Maher or Penn Jillette to go after her.

Well, there is a huge disconnect between the creative engine that drives the only products we still make that the rest of the world wants -- our entertainment and many consumer electronics and the dominant political narrative which is all anti-intellectual, jingoistic, boot up everybody's' ass. The "voice" of the country is certifiable and the psychological makeup of the inhabitants seems to be approaching the "attack on sight" mode.
It's not a perfect analogy of course but there seems to me to be more than a passing resemblance.
I care quite a lot about whom Mrs Palin bangs.
For instance, if it was me she was banging, and I found out about it, I'd be quite intrigued, and become very suspicious of such a cunning adulteress.
But I may be in a minority, there, I grant you.

in other words, I don't give a good goddamn about taking the high road, or putting people's families off limits, or honoring anyone's service to their country, or being accused of slimy campaign tactics.

Yes, Bennett was a Viking, but he came to Tampa Bay by way of Kansas City.
And I beg to differ about the "shell of their former glory." I still think they're the class of the NFC South at least and should be favored to win the division again; beyond that, we'll see.

Then have Al Gore come on, say, "Well, Sarah, let me explain the job to you", and then list what he did during his eight years at the WH.

The abrupt resignation Thursday of a top elections official at the secretary of state's office happened in the midst of a watchdog group's investigation into her relationship with a local businessman who has contracts with that office.
Colorado Ethics Watch had been pursuing documents from the state regarding Lowder's ties to John Paulsen.
Paulsen, 59, operates a software company called LEDS, LLC from his home in Castle Rock, records show. LEDS has installed voter databases in more than 30 counties and recently got two contracts worth almost $184,000 with the secretary of state's office for data work related to the current election season.
Records show that Lowder recently lived at a Cherokee Street home in Denver that is owned by Paulsen.

Josh:
According to a article just out from Huffington Post, the story about flags from the Democratic National Convention being thrown away is simply false. The story was jumped on and apparently authored by the McCain campaign. But the real tell is down in the Huffpo piece where it traces the story to none other than Fox News' Carl Cameron.
Longtime readers of TPM will remember that back in October 2004 this site caught Cameron publishing a series of fabricated quotes attributed to John Kerry on the front page of the Fox News website.
After I placed a series of calls to Fox News inquiring about the Kerry story, the story was eventually pulled, and Fox was forced to issue an apology and retract the fabricated story. Fox spokesman Paul Schur told TPM: "Carl [Cameron] made a stupid mistake which he regrets. And he has been reprimanded for his lapse in judgment. It was a poor attempt at humor."
Why anybody would believe anything this joker says is difficult to fathom. But he's good enough for McCain.

Missouri 26%
North Carolina 31%
Florida 48%
Virginia 50%
I would do my pre-election shopping using their tipping point states map.
Southeast tipping point states are Florida and Virginia.
But if Obama and Biden lose, the unfair irony will be that Hillary Clinton will be blamed.

By who?
theodoric of athens, from a reliable source, what I've heard about East Tennessee democrats, is they will not vote for Obama. Middle and West TN probably will.
that reinforces every stereotype and joke I have ever heard about east tennessee, knox county, and Vol fans, and I take comfort in that, at least.
I am 300 miles from Cape Girardeau, 350 miles from Pensacola, and 400 miles from the Virginia line. I am only ten miles from Tennessee, which is why I asked.
I'm NOT disappointed.
jac
yeah really dude!
He stood up for Roe at the convention and equal rights - hell he's launched an ad campaign telling people that RoevWade is on the line this election - "It's like they take pride in being ignorant!"
Come on! This guy fucking rocks and purity be damned!
Virginia, on the other hand . . . .
Without a macacamamy . . . even then very close thing for Webb . . . don't bet the rent imo, until November at least.

Interesting how Obama has a commanding electoral lead, yet the horse race is so close in the media.
If I see the polls "too close to call" on election night in VA by Timmeh's ghost, I'll know that it's Obama.
But - it ain't over. I have work to do.
Uncle Blodge, Urban Teacher
Excellent. I will just be getting started, but I can teach in any country, dammit. I seriously don't know if I could take another four or eight years like the last eight.
That would be why I'm working my ass off for Obama. I fully expect him to win, but you always have to have your guard up with these assholes.
I do, however, have to get out of rural PA.
WTF?
This sucky thread is still going on?
Who will put a stop to this?
i know people in ga who were going to cast a protest vote for mckinney until obama's acceptance speech.
now they are voting obama. b/c they think ga could actually go. a long shot, but it would be a shot heard round the world.

Still hoping that Social Security is around when I retire.
Hee.... My family. My mother was an only child, but, her mother had five siblings, and from that pool, Mother had four girl first cousins and one boy first cousin. This gets to be fun. The youngest age at death was 64. The oldest, 68. I'm planning to collect my Social Security early.
Just heard Female talk radio host on RW radio say that she "It's nobody's business that Sarah Palin's daughter is preggers."
I wanted to call us and remind her what she said about John Edward's mistress.
f I see the polls "too close to call" on election night in VA by Timmeh's ghost, I'll know that it's Obama.
I keep saying that if it's 8:00 and VA goes blue, I'll do the naked happy dance. All over but the Hague by then.

538 says there's a six percent chance there will be a recount for the presidential election (I assume that means at least in one state). And almost a one percent chance that there will be an electoral college tie.

Lotta talent in that family. I'm partial to Ellis, the patriarch and pianist.
I can understand my mother wanting to leave if Obama has the election stolen from him. She''s not a citizen and still holds a British passport. Were I her, I would not want to live out my final years in what she calls 'the country I never came to.'
Me? This is my home. I don't know that I could make that leap.

As noted above, I'd leave if Son and his family left. I want to be near them. And he does love Ireland. But otherwise, I'm going to stay here and be a pain in the ass of whomever is in power.

What you describe is why I deliberately chose to come back to this country in '92. I weighed every possible thing I could think of - and I concluded that I was more US than I was Canadian.
I may have been wrong.

Uncle Blodge, Urban Teacher, hope you can keep doing what you do. Sappy as it sounds, you're one person who makes me proud to be a citizen of this country.
I can understand my mother wanting to leave if Obama has the election stolen from him.
I don't think any of us can abide by having another election stolen.
I also don't think this candidate has the competency to pull off the feat.

Since the season hasn't started, I don't have much of a clue. After a couple of games, I start paying attention and try to figure out what the deal is. I follow the Ravens and don't have a clue as to what they'll do.

Then perhaps the governor should've put that statement out instead of announcing it to the world.
I can assure you Christian folks, I have had vigourous anal intercourse with both NTodd and Steve Simels. Not even close to being the same.
What are your thoughts? Is Peterson healthy? He will make a difference.
That's the thing...he's healthy, but every defense has 8 in the box against him.
The onus is on our QB, Tavaris Jackson. If he can establish an air game, AP's gonna have a breakout season. Double threat.
I don't know how I could really expect another country to accept me just because my heart was broken by this one. I would not be able to pretend I was going to be a patriotic flagwaver for my new home, anymore than I can feel anything but disgust for what that kind of showy jingoism is responsible for here. I would always be a refugee, never a proud citizen. I don't think there is any place for me to go.
If we lose in November, I will open a tumbrel factory.
Do I gotta choose?
I did. That was me. I had a job at Univ. of Calgary, it was pretty much a straight shot. And I couldn't do it. I thought that my country was, really, the United States. And so, I came back down. To the first Bush recession, to no work, to underemployment and Leavenworth. And still, I stayed. Sometimes u choose wrong.
I also don't think this candidate has the competency to pull off the feat.
Also, the Dems control the Congress. If these bastards have a hair on their ass, they'll see to it that the election is run properly.
I agree with you on McCadaver. He's a pathetic little old jackoff that won the nomination by default and picked a joke as a running mate.
Plus, leastwise, Steve Simels gladly swallows. SS is a much better lay overall, a four fags out of five.
Uncle Blodge, Urban Teacher

Nah. Although it would be fun. Here is how I would do it. I'd call up expressing outrage to the call screener that they are picking on Sarah. Then I would say, "I'm outraged at the way that the media is picking on Sarah!
I agree with you that it is nobody's business. Thank god you would never do anything like that. You know what is horrible? I heard one liberal call her a beast! Then I would play the audio clip of them calling Hillary the Hildabeast." Or I could play a clip of them talking about Edward's mistress. Edwards who wasn't even running for President anymore and wasn't even holding an office.
She knocked down a 350 year old maple in my neighbor's yard.
Here when the Declaration of Independence was signed. Civil War. WWI, WWII, women's suffrage, civil rights, end of Viet Nam.
Hecate, permission to ask the (approximate) address of this vegetative decease? VA has a pretty good registry of historic trees, or used to a few years back last time I looked, this one might be on it.
You originally said "six stories high" and I thought, well, 60 ft, big but not all that big. I'm looking out my window at hickories bigger than that.
Then you specified it was a maple...wow.
"Sappy as it sounds, you're one person who makes me proud to be a citizen of this country."
aww...
I'd blush if i could here.
but really - I don't see myself as special. just someone who will tell a kid yes you are coming back to school.
somedays it ages me. but - here I am back in a neighborhood school trying to tell kids that they do matter. I don't tell some of the stories because I don't think I'm a hero.
just a little crazy
I also don't think this candidate has the competency to pull off the feat.
The adults in the GOP are sitting this one out. They're ladling out the bullshit, but beyond that they're letting the kids mind the store.
This one is ours to lose.
If we lose in November, I will open a tumbrel factory.
Only way we're going to lose is via theft.
And I have plenty of guillotines and trebuchets to go with those tumbrels.
Spocko I like your style
A renown astrologer and someone who had predicted the 2000 election Fiasco, says that this year will be similar and also that Sarah Palins chart indicates that she disappears somehow.
I surmise from this that she drops out or something like that.
I don't know if I believe in the astrology BS, but it was on the radio and it caught my attention.
I don't know how I could really expect another country to accept me just because my heart was broken by this one.
There is a country that says something about "huddled masses yearning to breathe free." I wish I could find it on a map...
I don't understand the impulse to leave the country.

catalexis speaks for me. Aside from doubting that any other country would take me either, it seems like I have no right to run, to cease to fight, to resist until they kill me one way or the other.
I owe it to my ancestors who fought for this country, to my descendants, to the rest of the world that a tyranny here would eventually overrun or destroy piecemeal as they are doing now.
And every person who runs is one less fighter for the cause of life. Recruit, and add another to join the active cause, don't subtract yourself from it. Besides, if we lose here they can come and get us no matter where we are.

Democratic nominee Barack Obama, speaking in Terre Haute, Ind., said, "These entities are so big and they're so tied into the housing market that it is probably true that we have to take steps to make sure they don't just collapse, because the housing market, which is already weakened, would be in even worse shape if we didn't take some steps."

There is NO risk to her in this.
The MSM keeps saying she's the new face of the GOP.
Sarah's the key to winning this thing, not McCain -- he's just a pathetic old man. Without Sarah, McCain supports would just sleep through election day. She must be crushed and thoroughly discredited.
I think that the plan is as follows.
Republicans knew that they couldn't win with McCain & LIEberman
They found a political neophyte for the veep spot..the most radical choice they could make to draw in the voters. Just to make it close enough that they can steal it again.
Say they do win...McStupid resigns. He will have satisfied his ambition to be president but he has no interest in governance. Now the Thugs have Ms. inexperienced Moosekiller to be guided by the leading lights of Rovian Rethuglicanism. That's the scary scenario.

Klondike Sarah's line was much better. Focused right on the needs of the homeowner. Obama's was wordy.

You guys see this about "Barracuda"?
Despite the Wilson sisters' objections, one of the song's co-writers said he was "thrilled" that the song was used.
[...]
But in a subsequent email, Fisher said he strongly endorsed the Democratic ticket, and would donate a portion of royalties he receives from the Republicans' airing of "Barracuda" to the campaign of Sen. Barack Obama.
"With my contribution to Obama's campaign, the Republicans are now supporting Obama," he said.

BTW, what's the problem with My Friend Flicka?
Did anyone see the frame-by-frame exposition the Daily Show did last night of McCain's 2008 nomination acceptance speech and Bush's 2000 nomination acceptance speech? It was flippin' brilliant and showed almost word-for-word congruence between what Mccain says he will do and what Bush said he would do. If the Obama campaign don't find a way to use the material to turn it into a kick-ass commercial than they are a lot less sharp than I think they are.

With Tobes it is so hard to tell.
The documents show that Palin used city computers to manage her campaign and billed taxpayers for mailings, phone calls and literature.

bedtime/

Shockingly, Tobes continues to spout hyperbole. Just...shocking.
Here's something I've been kicking around recently...
Since most of the politically retarded seem to get their info from poorly-spelled mass emailings (Obamma's a sekret mooslum! Michelle sayd whitey!), why don't we just stary doing the same thing with Sarah's ample resume?
The husband belongs to an anti-American separatist party; her teen daughter gots a bun in the oven; etc. Make sure it has LOTS of forwarded email addresses at the top, so you know it's the trooth!
I don't. I think it's a clunky mechanism. Though I like that the
British government treats the US oath of citizenship as worth a pile of poo. (You could vote in British elections, GWPDA, with your Canuckistani passport, no?)
I like that about the Brits as well. A friend of mine actually was informed by the British consul that he should feel free to take whatever oaths he might be inclined - he could not 'lose' his British citizenship and they'd never hold it against him. That's forthright. The same applies for my duality - I am a US citizen by birth and a Canadian citizen by birth. Neither is asking me to forego the other. It's me. I don't like feeling split. (And no, since '67, Canucks are of themselves, Commonwealth status or no. No sharing.)
I noticed a lot of the books on the ban list were witchcraft-oriented. That's some typical fundie crap.
She tried to ban the Canterbury Tales, too

I go back to that old classic, Jesus Christ was a community organizer, Pontius Pilate was a governor.
Also to be banned:
East of Eden by John Steinbeck
SACRILEGE!!!! That's my all time favorite book.
I can't believe Toby comments here anymore. Defending the Republican party is like defending Hitler.
I think I can explain it.
You see, Republicans can't stand Toby either. Otherwise I'm sure that someone as deluded as he is would be out actually working on a campaign, accomplishing something constructive rather than sitting at home and jacking off all over his ancient CRT.
I heard Bonnie Erbe talking abt eugenics on her PBS show the other weekend. She and the other wymyn were concerned that it's the uneducated immigrant females who are making more of the babies and, thereby, driving down the value per unit. I was quite startled. I thought, "Aren't these chicks libs?"
ltr you good Leslies you, off to see Willie ...
(the singer not the penis)
.
As in Texas and Alaska its the Lt. Governor that is the one that runs things. Palin lost when she ran for Lt. governor.
She has so little experience she has to be trained in foreign policy by ex-Bush advisers.
Well, Toby doesn't so much comment as run in leave a turd in the room and then run back out to the tool shed and masturbate to a cassette tape, warbling from long use, of Rush Limbaugh makeing Clinton jokes.

MM is claiming the banned book list is a fraud, pointing out that the Harry Potter books were written after Palin tried to ban books. Still, she doesn't deny that Palin tried to ban some (unknown, at this point) books.

Didn't you say you were leaving?
I gotta go to bed. Laters.
Jesus Christ was a community organizer,
I am sorry. I keep reading this and I keep not getting it. He said to render unto Caesar what was Caesar's. He said that he came to destroy families. He said that unless you left your community and followed him, you would lose your life.
It's nice rhetoric, and I have a copy of Quotations from Chairman Jesus on my bookshelf, but I really don't get the Jesus was a community organizer thing.
And, while I'm at it, turns out I was right; the Dem prayer was NOT meant to include my religion.
East of Eden by John Steinbeck
In a way, that's quite hilarious, since Steinbeck built the book around the Biblical tale of Cain and Abel.
I suspect that the real objection, however, is centered around the book's exposition of war profiteering at the simplest levels.
Comment by Texaschilibean blocked.

It's obviously a sexual fetish at this point.

• Flowers For Algernon by Daniel Keyes

• Forever by Judy Blume
Of course, it's about teenagers having sex and no one gets a pregnant or dies as a result of it. Can't have that.
• Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain
Hey, that's one that NEVER goes out of style!!! A favorite of book barbecues for over a century!
• Lysistrata by Aristophanes
It's about women abstaining from sex. You'd think she'd love that. But, it's to stop a war. So, can't have that. No sex = good. No war = bad.
• The Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck
Again: SACRILEGE!!!!!!!
... and the strangest one:
• Webster's Ninth New Collegiate Dictionary by the Merriam-Webster Editorial Staff
??? WTF ????
Couldn't help but notice Faulkner's As I Lay Dying, Rousseau's Confessions, Aristophanes' Lysistrata, and Steinbeck's Of Mice & Men made Mooselini's list, too.
I can understand the first three, but the Steinback choice? Maybe because Lennie reminds too many people of their Republican next-door neighbors?
And they wuz written by furriners.

Conversation went on for a while, then
a university professor from a well known TX institution said, " High school is too young. The problem with high school students is they know everything about fornication and nothing about adultery". Conversation came to a pindrop standstill.
Personally, I think that Gov. Moosilini knows a great deal about both fornication and adultery.

Bed Bug, so what? She is only VP. McCain has more than enough for both of them. She'll learn alot under McCain.
The campaign keeps saying she's already prepared enough to be on the ticket. That they feel the need to train her for a few weeks before even letting anyone ask her a question is a clear enough indication that they know she's not ready.
And ... she will be VERY easy on the eyes, if you catch my drift.

I am sorry. I keep reading this and I keep not getting it. He said to render unto Caesar what was Caesar's. He said that he came to destroy families. He said that unless you left your community and followed him, you would lose your life.
It's parables, not meant to be taken literally. Render unto Caesar has been interpreted a gazillion different ways, from supporting the separation of church and state to warning the faithful against cooperating with corrupt governments. Ditto every other quote you mentioned.
I don't really get that Jesus was a community organizer, though. He was bringing the news of God's love to humanity. He really didn't organize, he did his thing and people took it in or didn't. If anyone organized, it was Paul.

I wish Atrios would ban them.
I have no doubt that he has banned these trolls repeatedly. Butler has boasted about it under his various sockpuppets (He had "Elias" complain about getting banned just last week).
Unfortunately, getting around a haloscan ban is pathetically simple. You can be back on in two minutes or less with a proxy server.

From TPM:
OOPS ...
From the WSJ ...
The biggest project that Sarah Palin undertook as mayor of this small town was an indoor sports complex, where locals played hockey, soccer, and basketball, especially during the long, dark Alaskan winters.
The only catch was that the city began building roads and installing utilities for the project before it had unchallenged title to the land. The misstep led to years of litigation and at least $1.3 million in extra costs for a small municipality with a small budget. What was to be Ms. Palin's legacy has turned into a financial mess that continues to plague Wasilla.
And this from the Wall Street Journal, no less.

Seeking Details, Lawmakers Cite Anthrax Doubts
WASHINGTON — A month after the F.B.I. declared that an Army scientist was the anthrax killer, leading members of Congress are demanding more information about the seven-year investigation, saying they do not think the bureau has proved its case.
In a letter sent Friday to Robert S. Mueller III, the director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Democratic leaders of the House Judiciary Committee said that “important and lingering questions remain that are crucial for you to address, especially since there will never be a trial to examine the facts of the case.”
The scientist, Bruce E. Ivins, committed suicide in July, and Mr. Mueller is likely to face demands for additional answers about the anthrax case when he appears before the House and Senate Judiciary Committees on Sept. 16 and 17.
“My conclusion at this point is that it’s very much an open matter,” Senator Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania, the top Republican on the Senate committee, said of the strength of the case against Dr. Ivins, a microbiologist at the Army’s biodefense laboratory who worked on anthrax vaccines. “There are so
