The son of local magnate Tom Alberg was making ricin at home and discussing how he could add it to the water supply (I live a mile or so from two uncovered reservoirs).
So, when your father is a millionaire, a big Bush donor, on the board of a conservative/libertarian foundation, and a friend of the mayor, you get to to turn yourself in voluntarily to the authorities when you are found to be making a deadly poison and talking about using it in the water supply. And your father hires a public relations firm to tell everybody how well your family is cooperating with the investigation, and that you’re not responsible for your actions.
And the Washington Times never mentions your father, and begins its story with the information that you’re autistic, had no political motivations for possessing ricin, and never planned to actually use it.

I’m glad they took action before anything happened (at least I hope they did): it will be interesting to see how the case is handled, in these tense times.
