WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A suspicious white powder found in a U.S. Senate office building has tested positive for the deadly poison ricin, U.S. Capitol Police Chief Terrence Gainer says.

Several preliminary tests confirmed that the substance discovered in a mail handling room was ricin and results of more extensive tests conducted in a laboratory confirmed the earlier findings, Gainer said late on Monday.

"Two of those three tests do indicate that it is ricin. So we have had several confirmations that it is ricin," Gainer said.

So, what will this do for Bush's arguments on the day they announce the WMD investigations, and while papers report that Blunkett is said to be 'unfit' for his job over his anti terrorist laws?

Or will this thread just sink, as I haven't seen Pinball around....

Oh good, I get to hear every stand up comedian and Dead Ringer making jokes about "the wrong type of white powder being sent in the mail!111111" for the next six months again.



Hmm, I came over all sirkobble there. He won't mind, though, because he's dead.
