FOXNews.com

I just clicked over to FOXNews.com, and was treated to top-of-the-page story about the ricin contamination at the US Senate. There is a picture of officials in full isolation suits, working on the cleanup. A link is provided to the following "Fast Facts" about ricin:
  • It can be produced with ordinary kitchen equipment.
  • The deadly toxin can be inhaled, ingested, or injected.
  • If inhaled, ricin would produce symptoms within 8 hours, with death likely within 36 to 72 hours.
  • There is no treatment for inhaled exposure.

  • And there, incredibly, just below the Fast Facts, is this link: Video - How Ricin Is Made.

    Why doesn't Fox go ahead and post recipes for nerve agents and diagrams for atomic weapons as well?
