Via the AP: Yushchenko Poisoned With Pure TCDD
Ukrainian opposition leader Viktor Yushchenko was poisoned by TCDD, the most harmful known form of dioxin, the scientist who conducted tests on the presidential candidate’s blood said Friday.[...]
That rules out many sources, such as an incinerator or factory. It means the poison could only have come from one of three sources, said dioxin expert Dr. Arnold Schecter, a professor of environmental Sciences at the University of Texas School of Public Health in Dallas.
“If it’s pure TCDD that means it could only be labs that buy or sell TCDD (for research purposes), government biological or chemical weapons units or a clever chemist,” Schecter said.
Curiouser and curiouser.

Didn’t the US buy out the entire town of Times Beach, MO, because a couple of drops got into some oil sprayed on the dirt roads. Now Yushchenko wolfs down a large dose and gets some temporary acne.
I hear Missourians have almost perfect skin now.
