Shannon Richardson of New Boston, TX, ricin babe? As I mentioned earlier today, in an abrupt change from the war on terror years, [some] officials have apparently realized that more than a decade of telling everyone that ricin is easy to make and that castor bean mash is deadly has been counterproductive.
