Police Probe Powder in Senate Building
Edited on Mon Feb-02-04 10:31 PM by MariaS

WASHINGTON - U.S. Capitol police were investigating a potentially hazardous white powder reportedly discovered in the office of Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, R-Tenn., in the Dirksen Senate Office Building.

A government official said an initial field test indicated it could be the potentially deadly substance ricin, and that further tests were being conducted at Fort Detrick in Maryland, with results expected by Tuesday.

The powder was found in an envelope in Frist's office suite on the fourth floor of the Dirksen building, one of three structures occupied by senators and their staffs, said a congressional source speaking on condition of anonymity

1. Sounds like poll-number-related-powder to me
Either that or they will find that it comes from
OR
They will trace it back to someone from Iraq so they can justify their stupid war.
I think that about covers all the bases...
