The FBI has alleged 45-year-old Paul Kevin Curtis was the sender.

FBI Special Agent in Charge Daniel McMullen said Mr Curtis was arrested at his apartment in Corinth, near the Tennessee state line about east of Memphis.

Authorities are still waiting for definitive tests on the letters sent to President Barack Obama and Sen. Roger Wicker of Mississippi.

An FBI intelligence bulletin obtained by The Associated Press said those two letters were postmarked Memphis, Tennessee....

It’s a British paper so they have to explain where Corinth is. They’d probably have to explain where Gettysburg is, or Appomattox.

I pinged WKB to the first posted thread, with more information.

I guess it might be a little too late for him.

This "Proud Christian Democrat" also sent a letter to a Tupelo judge!

He's also an Elvis impersonator. Pictures on the linked thread...LOL.

Ricin comes from castor beans which are not in short supply.

Nutty Democrat. The Leftists will drop this story as quickly as possible.

Obama lies so consistently that I am not sure he received any letter. It would be just like him and his minions to try to drum up sympathy for him by stealing the attention. I DO believe a wacko Dem trying to murder a Republican.

Looks like Elvis.

[cableguymn]

You can’t be both. One goes against the good book. The other is for it.

I am sure he attended a dead church.

And a Democrat...lets see if any mainstream media pics up on that...

The New York Times and Washington Post have just decided they don't give a damn about this story... every other paper in the country - lemmmings all - will agree.

Christian AND a RAT

Everyone knows that's impossible.

[tiki]

They need to pass a law....

[GOPJ]

The liberal press will explain it away now that they know he’s a democrat....

[Secret Agent Man]

all the other recent lefties that have done tis stuff were pissed their leaders weren’t going far enough. gabby giffords shooter was a leftie who was pissed she wasn’t left enough, she didn’t vote for pelosi for minority leader, that’s what set him off.

[bolobaby]

Yep. Story to be spiked faster than a football in the end zone.

In the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks there were incidents of Antrax being mailed to government officials. Now, in the aftermath of the Boston Bombing ricin is mailed to government officials. Part of me says this is very hard to be just a coincidence.
