Name Of Chemical Released In Salem Investigation

At least the chemical poisoning incident was not caused by Phosgene, a military toxic gas. This was reported in the Argus as being the probable agent, but a different, but superficially related material was finally positively identified:

McCook County Emergency Management thinks it has identified the mysterious substance found in the four-plex last Friday. Test results from the South Dakota and Minnesota State Labs point to aluminum phosphide, a toxic chemical often used by farmers. The report also lists traces of the gas version of the chemical, called phosphine, which can be used as a fumigant.

This still leaves question as to the origin of the chemicals in an apartment building:

Authorities say aluminum phosphide is not a chemical that would normally be found inside of a home. But they also won't comment on if the chemical was put in the building to hurt those inside. "We're attempting to get results back on many many things until we get all that back we can't really say one way or the other," Gerlach said.

H/T to Blackfive on this one.

This situation reminds me of a joke about the Minnesota Vikings that fans console themselves with...about a fan who died and went down below. He enjoyed the heat after the salubrious climate of MinnesotaMinnesnowta, so the devil made it cold instead. The next day he was happier than ever, proclaiming "The Vikings won the Superbowl!

Just as unlikely, is the following amazing report:
Insurgents in Iraq are drawing criticism for terrorism

Human Rights Watch, which often has criticized alleged abuses by U.S. forces in Iraq, turned its attention in its latest report to insurgent groups like al-Qaida in Iraq and Ansar al-Sunnah that have claimed responsibility for attacks in mosques, markets, bus stations and other civilian areas in Iraq.

Maybe it really IS a cold day in hell!

It's been a crazy week if you've devoted any time to trying to monitor the moonbats. I myself have had to bite my tongue more than once when posting on some of the "anti-war" demonstrations over the weekend. But it...

Michelle Malkin has been following the story a bit. See here for a bunch of news you probably heard earlier today, and here for a bit of an update....

The moonbats who wanted to build an International "Freedom" Center at Ground Zero didn't care much for their options after Governor Pataki told them to take a hike yesterday. So, doggone it, they're just not going to build anywhere at...
