Pound of cyanide found in room where man died
13 Aug 2008 About a pound of highly toxic sodium cyanide was found in a hotel room where a man's body was discovered, authorities said Wednesday. The Denver medical examiner was still awaiting test results to determine what killed Saleman Abdirahman Dirie, of Ottawa. Dirie's body was found Monday in The Burnsley All Suite Hotel. Fire officials said they found a bottle of the white powder in Dirie's room. Police said Wednesday it was cyanide. Cyanide can be mixed with certain acids to produce extremely lethal cyanide gas, according to the Department of Justice. Investigators have not said how long Dirie had been in Denver or whether anyone [such as Cheney's anthrax henchmen?] had accompanied him. [The Burnsley All Suite Hotel is listed in the '2008 DNC Accomodations Guide' under 'Denver Hotels, Rentals, Working Space and Temporary Headquarters for 2008 DNC visitors.' It's 1.74 miles from Denver's INVESCO Field at Mile High, where Barack Obama is scheduled to accept the Democratic nomination for president.]
'Authorities haven't said why he was in Denver.' Cyanide poisoning probed in Denver 13 Aug 2008 Denver police say they have found no evidence of terrorism in cyanide poisoning of a visitor [Saleman Abdiraham Dirie] less than two weeks before the Democratic National Convention. ABC's "Good Morning America" reported Wednesday that while investigators haven't found indications that foul play or terrorism were involved in Dirie's death, the FBI has joined the case. Cyanide is a fast-acting poison that can be used as an ingredient in a chemical weapon.

FBI to get freer rein to look for terrorism suspects
13 Aug 2008 Attorney General Michael Mukasey confirmed plans Wednesday to loosen post-Watergate restrictions on the FBI's national security and criminal investigations, saying the changes were necessary to improve the bureau's ability to detect terrorists. Mukasey said he expected criticism of the new rules because "they expressly authorize the FBI to engage in intelligence collection inside the United States." However, he said the criticism would be misplaced because the bureau has long had authority to do so.
The Army Materiel Command (AMC) and the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) have formed a partnership that seeks to improve their resupply operations by following the vendor system used by retail giant Wal-Mart.
Under a collaborative approach known as "co-managed inventory," Wal-Mart shares inventory and sales information with its vendors and allows some of them to recommend resupply strategies to the retail chain. A Wal-Mart proprietary system called "Retail Link" permits vendors to access information on Wal-Mart sales and inventory of the items they supply.
