You guys do realize he was freed of all charges right?
This whole thing fits nicely into anti-government rhetoric, but personally I think the Buffalo police were entirely justified in holding him and investigating exactly what the petri dishes were. If it had been anthrax or small pox and the police had not arrested him, and five thousand people died, imagine the outcry there would be.
That said, the wire fraud charges are just absurd. It's good the whole thing is finally over.
