Envelope tests positive for ricin at Washington mail facility
Source: CNN
Washington (CNN) -- An envelope that tested positive for the deadly poison ricin was intercepted Tuesday afternoon at the U.S. Capitol's off-site mail facility in Washington, congressional and law enforcement sources tell CNN.
After the envelope tested positive in a first routine test, it was retested two more times, each time coming up positive, the law enforcement source said. The package was then sent to a Maryland lab for further testing.
The envelope was addressed to a U.S. senator, though the sources would not say which one.

The OP was updated with a politico article naming the senator but the posts I'm copying were obviously posted prior to the update.

13. Yeah, he's uber right. Hmm, it's not like he's being asked to vote for the Iraq War or anything.
I wonder what this is all about.
Darn!
