The Washington Post reported that another potential ricin letter attack has been thwarted by federal authorities, this one at a military base.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) said an investigation is now under way at Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling in Southeast Washington.

The man originally suspected to be behind last week’s first batch of ricin letters, Paul Kevin Curtis, was released from jail today. Paul’s lawyer, Christi McCoy, believes that her client was framed by an angry co-worker.
