The Patrick interrogation is curious in itself. Patrick is the inventor (or at least holds five secret patents) on the process that developed the unique anthrax spore concentration of one trillion per gram, the same concentration found in the mailed anthrax. He is the former chief of product development of bio-weapons at Ft. Detrick. Patrick also is a consultant to Battelle Memorial Institute (BMI); a CIA connected government contractor. (See this writer’s three-part series, "Anthrax, GOCO’s and Killer Germs" which covers BMI in depth including its involvement in managing or co-managing four secret government labs including the army’s Dugway, Utah facility where the anthrax is weaponized.)
Patrick is also a close friend and colleague of Ken Alibek. Alibek is the Americanized name of the former number two man in the Soviet Union’s bioweapon program. He "defected" to the U.S. in 1992. At the request of the CIA, Alibek was "debriefed" by Patrick and was subsequently welcomed with open arms into the U.S. intelligence community. Alibek is also a former employee of BMI.
On December 21, 2001 the Columbus (Ohio) Dispatch newspaper reported that FBI Director Robert Meuller had assured Senator Mike DeWine of Ohio that no one with or formerly with Battelle is a suspect. BMI headquarters is in Columbus, Ohio.
