How many times do you have to be told that these terrorists had nothing to do with Sadaam - his enemies in fact - your logic would include the Waco Texas people as allies of the US Government of the time. Mind you you probably believe that too?

Don't know if you read the whole article or not but the ricin and botulinum toxins traces were found on the soles of some rubber boots and running shoes.

This prompted me to take a look around the house and make sure that there were no weapons of mass distruction laying around where anyone could find them.

First stop the kitchen. Sure enough there was the salad dressing that I made last night sitting right there in the open on the kitchen counter. I personally like a little garlic in my salad oil. I quickly poured the leftovers down the sink and rinsed the container out with javex bleach. Then it struck me. In my haste to sanitize the kitchen I had just put WMD in the downstream water system.

Crushed garlic in vegetable oil is a sure breading ground for botulinum bacteria. Not to mention the clorines in the bleach.

Horrified at what I had done I stood and stared out the window. My eyes eventually fixed on the neighboors garden. What the heck are they growing over there anyway. It looks like castor beans. Yep, sure enough they are growing ricin right next to me and I would never have suspected.

Terrified I ran from the kitchen. Thinking that maybe I was overreacting I sat in the living room and tried to regain my composure. I did my relaxation routine from the stress reduction course and then a little yoga.

After about fifteen minutes I could feel my heartbeat slow down and my anxiety subside. I opened my eyes and looked out the front window. The street was quiet and peaceful and everyone was going about their daily business apparently oblivious to the clear and present proximity and danger of WMD in their neighborhood.

The woman across the street tending to her flowers. Wait a minute just what kind of flowers are those? The look like poppies. Ahhhh back to the bunker.

Strange that this kind of stuff would be floating around in territory that is swarming with CIA and Special Forces . . .
