What's up with this "Ricin" incident??

[Terwilliger]

When the anthrax was discovered, they shut the entire building down, and everybody was checked out.

NOW, CNN just said that "a criminal investigation" is starting to determine what happened.

CRIMINAL?? What happened to terrorism? Why isn't this considered a possible terrorist attack?

Even Bill Frist said, on asked whether it was a terrorist action, "criminal, terrorist...it's all the same"


WHAT?!?!?!?!?! It's the same??? So Osama bin Laden is a CRIMINAL?? Does that mean he gets a fair trial????


Something about this ricin "scare" stinks to higher than high heaven.

1. stinks, like every other thing that has happened

with this maladministration at the helm. In the last three years we have had more 'terror' attacks that in the last 50 years or better. :-(

2. It took the discussion away from AWOL/Deserter didn't it?

Worked like a charm :(

6. AWOL RICIN LINK

As soon as the News started talking about AWOL again...boom TERRA LERT TERRA LERT This is as staged as Janet having her boob fall out.

Who broke it frist I mean first Faux News?

8. Not entirely

yes, it's having a negative effect on that, but American attention spans aren't that long anyway

[NewHampster]

3. Republican Ricin Scare well timed

would anyone here bet against the Repukes being behind a Ricin attack on their own people?

what a brilliant Rove idea this is.

4. On the very day Dubya goes below 50% in the polls ???

Yeah, it stinks like a dead skunk in the middle of the road...stinkin to high heaven...

5. Ok, I'm just kidding, Homeland Security

NOT

but, I'm wondering if Dr. Frist's office area was 'attacked' so we could have a Dr. Dean - Dr. Frist face-off.

Oh, never mind.

:puke: :bounce: :bounce: :silly:

7. The biggest anomaly IMO

is that every RW senator I see on the news and hear on the radio is a ricin expert. They also guessed it was ricin before the testing. Why are they all such experts on this subject?

[Terwilliger]

10. I think this is related to the allegations against the RNC

certain documents or evidence is in there being "scrubbed" right now

[Must_B_Free]

12. Medicare bribery evidence perhaps?

what happened to that story?

[blm]

9. My take: They have a fall guy in place for the anthrax and needed to

manipulate public perception to foster sympathy for the GOPers as if they were targets, too.

They also may be using the evacuation to get into Kerry's and Edwards' Senate offices and rifle through every document there.

11. and the letter to RNC

In Connecticut, one mail facility found an overnight envelope addressed to RNC with 'suspicious powder'...just happened to be on the same day as ricin was discovered....my, my, aren't the Republicans just great for coincidences.
