"Mostly Paper Powder" found in Frist's Office Time Magazine
<http://www.time.com/time/>
The article can be linked by clicking on Home Grown Terror
and reading down to about the last paragraph where the
author writes that the powder found in Frist's office
contained ricin in such minute amounts that it cannot be tested in the usual manner. What was going on at that time that needed
to be knocked off the news cycle or was Frist just looking for
some way to promote his book? Is this getting the same attention
as the big ricin story?

These folks have got to go.

1. I said it when the story broke, This was a Rove Setup Job.
This is a classic Rove tactic, sabotage your self, then put the focus and attention of wrong doing to you - the victim. Did any one see how pathetic Frist was Cry, "Ahhoo this was an attack on me life" He looked so full of shit it really was disgusting. I knew that ricin letter was bogus - felt it in my bones.

knowing remember he is up to his eyes in the server fraud investigation.

4. 9 months from now, it'll be traces of a ricin-like compound
Who did the testing?

Would love to see tests from an independent lab.

And after that
It will be that they "had the capacity" to produce a Ricin-based weapon. Program.

5. This is weird
Paper dust with minute quantities of ricin. This does not make sense, if somebody wanted to poison Frist, would it not be more easy just to shoot the man?

7. It made no sense !

As Trent Lott said on Hannity, it's not an aerosol, so it can't hurt you unless you ingest it "or somehow inject it" (Lott's words). Couldn't they have just sent an e-mail to Senate staffers warning them not to inject chemicals found in letters from unknown parties ? What a crock.

Much more psychological.

Edited on Sun Feb-08-04 11:19 PM by KoKo01
check them out to get the next batch of Dem Memos to see what the agenda is for this year. Remember their "access" was cut off with the investigation of Frist's office Server which was removed for evidence of break in to reveal incriminating Dem Memos about the Judicial Appointments.

Just like with the Anthrax....shut the Senate down to send in the Psy-Ops group to corrupt more.

Meanwhile Daschle is quiet about this....saying "oh well...they must do what they must to keep us all safe."

15. Daschle got Put On Notice...
...with an actual WMD (not a phony one like Frist)...weaponized Anthrax (US Made). He probably received a visit from someone in the bush* administration commenting that : "WOW, its really lucky that they didn't send an anthrax letter to your wife and children..... He got the message and promptly put on a pink tutu.

And then there is Paul Wellstone, his wife, staffers and friends....

12. Personally, I think it was to hurt John Edwards. When people think America
is a scary place, they vote Kerry. When they think "why the fuck am so poor in a nation that creates so much wealth for so few?" they vote Edwards.

Maybe I'm just paranoid.

17. I had to keep reading and rereading the paragraph and I still
can't believe that they made such a big deal about this.
There is still a part of me that does not want to believe
that these people are as awful as I think they are, even
with everything I know about them. I think that the same
kind of cognitive "no it can't be" dissonance is going on in America.

22. You are right
Most normal people can't even begin to grasp the fact that the biggest criminals and terrorists in the world are occupying the WH. No one wants to believe that are leaders are capable of doing such terrible things to their own country. However, once you fully realize what we are dealing with here, you will never see the world in the same way again. Even for those of us who have raged against the madness since the selection, it is still hard to accept that the Bu$h cabal could be so bad and that they really do hate us for our freedoms.

18. Whaddya bet capitol office workers were evacuated before they
shut there computers down. Me thinks it would make a network wide evidence scrub much easier.

Technically, what IS the procedure for relieving the POTUS and top administrators for TREASON?

?????????????????????????????

23. This is the bending end!
Is the finger pointing at Karl Rove and his childish thinking? The media won't be so quick to jump next time.
