Former Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle said he is very skeptical of the government’s anthrax investigation. Daschle was an intended recipient of one of the anthrax-laced letters in 2001. FBI officials said they are considering closing the investigation following the apparent suicide of Army researcher Bruce Ivins, who had become the prime suspect. Tom Daschle appeared on CNN on Monday.

Tom Daschle: “I’m not satisfied, in part because I think they haven’t been as forthcoming, not only with me, but with the American people, about the status of this investigation. I also haven’t seen the evidence, and I think that, given their checkered past and the difficulty that they had in getting to this point, the bungling of the Hatfill part of the investigation, leads me to be very skeptical.”
