The (R) and Anthrax
What is that obsession with chemical weapons??

WASHINGTON (AP) -- A white powder found in a package opened at Sen. John Kerry's presidential campaign headquarters was harmless and could have been garlic powder, authorities said of an apparent hoax that forced police to seal off the building.

"It appears to be some kind of garlic powder, commonly used for seasoning foods," said Alan Etter, a spokesman for the Washington, D.C., Fire Department, on Thursday.

The package, containing two letter-sized envelopes, was turned over to the FBI for further investigation.

Debra Weierman, spokeswoman for the FBI's Washington field office, said initial field tests on the substance turned up no evidence of any harmful substance. "No hazard was detected," she said.

1. The obsession?

No/low cost, no/low effort, no brain mind-fcuk terrosist tactics.

2. No need for the Watergate burglers anymore
Now the RW just stages a terror attack. Hope that Kerry is having the offices checked for bugs.
