Hatfill Lawsuit Accuses Government Of
Wrecking His Reputation In Anthrax Probe

Bioterrorism expert Dr. Steven J. Hatfill is going to court for what he says was a malicious campaign by the government to use him to make up for its failure to find the person responsible for the 2001 anthrax attacks. Hatfill filed a lawsuit Tuesday against Attorney General John Ashcroft and other government officials saying that by labeling him a "person of interest" in the case, circulating his photo and leaking aspects of the investigation to the media, they have damaged his reputation and made him virtually unemployable.
