NBC News ^ | 4/17/2013 | Pete Williams, Kristen Welker and Erin McClam

By Pete Williams, Kristen Welker and Erin McClam, NBC News Federal agents on Wednesday arrested a suspect in the mailing of letters to President Barack Obama and a U.S. senator that initially tested positive for the poison ricin.

The suspect was identified as Kenneth Curtis of Tupelo, Miss., federal officials told NBC News.

Both letters carried an identical closing statement, according to an FBI bulletin obtained by NBC News on Wednesday.

According to the FBI bulletin, both letters, postmarked April 8, 2013 out of Memphis, Tenn., included an identical phrase, "to see a wrong and not expose it, is to become a silent partner to its continuance."

In addition, both letters are signed: "I am KC and I approve this message."

Is there a picture? Are we sure he’s white? “Kenneth Curtis” could be either.

"I bet it isn’t ricin after all is said and done either"

Probably just rice.

I did a Google search for Kenneth Curtis Tupelo Ricin and a pic showed up in the search next to an article. HOWEVER, I think it is of the author so I could be wrong. If so my apologies for jumping the gun.

After today, I don’t know if I believe this guy even had ricin. It might be a false flag. I believe NOTHING from the MSM anymore.

Maybe he just put “rice in” an envelope, if anything.

What a crap week, and it’s only hump day....

a homegrown terrorist sends Ricin at the same time as the Boston terrorist incident? I am not buying that this is just a coincidence. these incidents are related. Al Qaeda used the MS incident to point to homegrown terrorism. Al Qaeda themselves did the Ricin or framed some poor unsuspecting slob.

The other option is homegrown terrorist for both incidents. Not buying that just yet ... but we’ll see.
