My Way News - Ex-Army scientist to get $5.8M in anthrax lawsuit

My Way News - Ex-Army scientist to get $5.8M in anthrax lawsuit: "WASHINGTON (AP) - A former Army scientist who was named as a person of interest in the 2001 anthrax attacks will receive $5.8 million to settle his lawsuit against the Justice Department. Steven Hatfill claimed the Justice Department violated his privacy rights by speaking with reporters about the case."

Remember the 9/11 anthrax scare? This gentleman had nothing to do with it. But that didn't stop the Justice Department from publicly declaring him a "person of interest." Now we, the taxpayers, are paying for that folly.
