I believe so. There are unconfirmed reports that may indicate something in the bilogical warfare arena may have been launched. The ricin in DC is confirmed I believe.

I need some more time to collate various information, and compare notes. I'll be back.

Suspicious powder at Conn. postal office

The Associated Press

2/3/2004, 6:18 a.m. ET

WALLINGFORD, Conn. (AP) — State environmental officials and federal agents were investigating the discovery of an unidentified white powder at a postal distribution center.

Department of Environmental Protection officials say an employee found the powder in an envelope Tuesday morning. The facility remains open, and officials say they've isolated the area where the powder was discovered.

The Wallingford facility is the same postal center at which investigators found anthrax spores in 2001. The substance found Tuesday has been taken for testing, DEP officials said.

The discovery of the powder comes a day after a suspicious white power that tested positive for ricin was found in Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist's office.

The powder was apparently delivered to the Republican senator's office through the mail system. More definitive tests were expected later Tuesday.

This is quite serious news and it seems like the press is being rather nonchalant about it... On a sidenote, this is why it's so hard to get worked up over jihadi posts on the net. We're looking for planes, they're licking stamps.

Keep us up to date...
