REPORTS: Envelope Sent To US Senator Tests Positive For Deadly Poison


An envelope sent to an office of Sen. Roger Wicker (R-Miss.) tested positive for the deadly poison ricin, according to a report in Politico.

CNN reported that the envelope was intercepted at the U.S. Capitol's off-site mail facility in Washington, D.C., on Tuesday. It was tested three times for ricin and tested positive all three times.

A Wicker spokesman said that the investigation was "ongoing" and directed inquiries to Capitol police.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, ricin is a poison naturally found in castor beans. It gets inside the cells of a person's body, preventing the cells from making any proteins. It can come in the forms of a powder, a mist, or a pellet, or it can be dissolved in water or weak acid.



I don't know much about Senator Wicker myself. Maybe Skippy can tell us why someone would want him dead.

Not this shit again. :bleeding:
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

It was probably one of Raz's Occupy buddies.

Well, Senator Wicker's from Mississippi, and Scips is trying to get into political office.  Maybe he's trying to use Klingon promotion.

If so, he ought to set his sights a little lower than the US Senate to start out with.  County dogcatcher, maybe?

See if you can find the post where I endorsed the Occupy groups.  Go ahead, see if you can.

About an hour or two ago, they reported someone involved as saying the ricin test is extremely inaccurate, and that it was premature to say it was positive before retesting the envelope.
Experience bij!
