Letter sent to Sen. Roger Wicker tests positive for ricin

Post by 93henfan »

http://www.politico.com/story/2013/04/r ... 90171.html
An envelope sent to an office of Sen. Roger Wicker (R-Miss.) included a substance that has tested positive for Ricin, two sources say.

It was not immediately clear when the envelope was received or whether it was sent to his Washington, D.C., office or a field office.

Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano and FBI Director Robert Mueller are briefing senators now.

I haven't watched the Television news since this happened. Can anyone tell me whether CNN is reporting this to be the work of a right wing terrorist group or Al Queda?

Chris Matthews has already stated the bombings to be a right wing action.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. Secret Service says it has intercepted a letter addressed to President Barack Obama that contained a "suspicious substance."



SPANOS ALERT: Do you think that after the government sanctioned bombings and the ricin letter yesterday and this letter today this is a good way to get rid of the Post Office without causing a much of a ruckus? They will now close down the PO for safety reasons.

Clearly the PO is dangerous because they convey hazardous substances. The PO should be banned.

But what good would envelopes and stamps be without any way to deliver them?

They will be closed soon after the PO gets its doors shut.

Holy crap. Speaking of the FBI dropping the ball:

http://www.breitbart.com/system/wire/DA5RC8380
The Mississippi man charged with sending poisoned letters to President Barack Obama, a U.S. senator and a state judge was released from jail on Tuesday, federal official said...

...On Monday, FBI Agent Brandon Grant testified that Friday searches of Curtis' vehicle and house in Corinth, Miss., found no ricin, ingredients for the poison, or devices used to make it. A search of Curtis' computers found no evidence he researched making ricin.

"There was no apparent ricin, castor beans or any material there that could be used for the manufacturing, like a blender or something," Grant testified...

..."The searches are concluded, not one single shred of evidence was found to indicate Kevin could have done this," McCoy told reporters after the hearing Monday.

McCoy also questioned why Curtis would have signed the letters "I am KC and I approve this message," a phrase he had used on his Facebook page.

McCoy said in court that someone may have framed Curtis, suggesting that a former business associate of Curtis' brother, a man with whom Curtis had an extended exchange of angry emails, may have set him up...
