Outside link:FBI: Traces of Ricin Found on Letter
By CURT ANDERSON

WASHINGTON (AP) - Traces of the deadly toxin ricin were found on a letter at a South Carolina postal facility, federal officials said Wednesday. The FBI was investigating but terrorism was not suspected.

The letter appeared to be connected to an extortion plot, government officials told The Associated Press.

"Based on the evidence obtained so far, we do not believe this is linked to terrorism but is related to threats criminal in nature," said Brian Roehrkasse, spokesman for the Homeland Security Department.

5. What baloney; is there only one kind of terrorism?
Anyone sending ricin through the mail is a terrorist.

8. Well of course not!
It wasn't addressed to Democrats, so how could it be???

I think most of the problem we've had with the 'pink tutu'ed' dems are because of the Anthrax scare...
