How convienient!

<font color=maroon>CIA Director George Tenet plans to give a speech at 9:30 a.m. ET today rebutting allegations by former chief U.S. arms inspector David Kay that Iraq had no weapons of mass destruction and that U.S. intelligence is fundamentally flawed.

Kay has said the hunt for weapons in Iraq is 85% complete. The official with knowledge of Tenet's planned speech said that Tenet would argue that "those who say the search for weapons of mass destruction in Iraq is 85% complete are 100% wrong."</font><font color=navy> Tenet also planned to highlight findings of Kay's inspection teams that Iraq was trying to develop the toxin ricin, the same poison found in a Senate mailroom this week</font><font color=maroon>, and upgrade its missile program.</font>

Ricin, was of course found in the Kurdish controlled area of Iraq, not in the area that Saddam managed.

It seems quite a coincidence that the ricin appeared just as Junior needed a distraction from the poll numbers.

<font color=blue> "There is no smoking letter or anything of that type that ties this all together," Gainer said.</font>
The capital police can't seem to find any letter that the ricin arrived in, the powder just appeared while the
mailroom clerk was out attending a class.

<font color=green>Authorities are investigating how the powder got into the building. Dan Mihalko, a spokesman for the postal inspection service, said the source of the powder, whether it was a letter or a package or neither, has not been firmly established. All mail addressed to the Senate offices was nonetheless being quarantined.

Mihalko said that an intern in Frist's office was using a mail opening machine that slices letters open. He left the mail opening area for about three hours yesterday to attend a class, Mihalko said, and when he returned discovered a powdery substance in the area near the machine.</font>

This all seems convieniently timed, like most of Karl Rove's stunts.
