Bloomberg is reporting that Obama would veto legislation authorizing the next budget for U.S. intelligence agencies if it calls for a new investigation into the 2001 anthrax attacks. The FBI says that the anthrax case is closed, and that they have proved that Dr. Bruce Ivins did it. But Congress is not convinced. On March 3, Representative Holt called for a new investigation. "The American people need credible answers to all of these and many other questions. Only a comprehensive investigation, Independent or by Congress, I've proposed in the Anthrax Attacks Investigation Act (H.R. 1248)can give us those answers," Holt said in a letter to the Chairmen of the House Committees on Homeland Security, Judiciary, Intelligence, and Oversight and Government Reform. The full letter is included.
