Live Chat: Inside the FBI’s Anthrax Investigation

FRONTLINE, McClatchy and ProPublica have taken an in-depth look at the FBI’s case against Dr. Bruce Ivins, conducting dozens of interviews and reviewing more than 27,000 FBI documents. In the process, we uncovered new evidence that raises troubling questions about one of the largest and most expensive investigations in FBI history.

Ten years after the attacks, what evidence do we have to go on? And what have we learned about the FBI from their approach to the case?

We’ve asked three of the reporters on the project to join us for a live chat. Submit your questions in the chat box below anytime, and join us at 2pm ET.
