Some good observations. There is much much more to this story.
You are absolutely right about the dog and that more than likely someone had been feeding that dog until it died from ricin poisoning. The cats were still alive.
I for one don’t believe the reports about an ‘Anarchist Cookbook’ opened to the very page on ricin! That’s ridiculous. The stuff was already made and put into vials for crying out loud!
If you are holed up in a hotel room cooking ricin and you get sick and have to call an ambulance(the guy was conscious when picked up, contrary to earlier reports)..don’t you close the damn ‘cookbook’ and try hide the evidence before the ambulance gets there?
You bet you do!
Thanks for your thoughts on this very strange ‘story’.

A police spokesman says that the book was tabbed at a spot with information about ricin. He declined to give details about what kinds of weapons were found.
Despite the book and the weapons, officials don’t think there is a link to terrorist activity.
Very good point. Could the book be an after-the-fact prop introduced to the scene to point investigators in the wrong direction?
Or--maybe, with the head chef in the hospital, someone else was then charged with completing the batches needed--someone who wasn't as skilled, and needed a cookbook?
