The Senate is evacuated again
Lesson (perhaps un-)learned: pounding vague-threat countries and then justifying the same with broad statements that the world is better off with some dictators doesn't stop terrorism.
Especially American terrorism.

As the news is reporting today, some white powder turned up via the mail in Senator Frist's office- and was confirmed to be ricin. As is not reported in alot of news outlets yet (but as Josh Marshall reports), CBS reported on Jan. 9th that a pckage containing ricin was left at a post office in Greenville, SC.

A letter inside the package said the author could make much more ricin and will "start dumping" large quantities of the poison if new federal trucking rules went in effect, according to information released by the FBI and other federal agencies Thursday.

The rules, which require more rest hours for truck drivers, took effect Sunday.

The letter, signed "Fallen Angel," said the author was "a fleet owner of a tanker company."

Sadly, for those in the entertainment biz, if things match up, Ms. Coultur might have to change her terrorists-are-only-surly-arab-men routine. Or who knows, maybe the trucker fits her description.
