WASHINGTON D.C. - Six children and three adults from a West Covina K-8 school were briefly hospitalized during a visit to the White House on Friday.
The victims, from West Covina Christian school, suffered some eye irritation and sickness from ammonia fumes wafting into the White House visitor center from a nearby construction shed about 11 a.m., according to Ed Donovan, a spokesman for the Secret Service.

Chris Petersen, the school's principal, who was along on the trip, said that about half of the group was past security and inside the visitor's center, when they were turned back.

"The guards were yelling to turn around and get out of the center," said Petersen. "We thought maybe the President was leaving the White House or coming back."

Definitely coming from Cheney's office. Either that,or maybe,they are trying to get the smell out of Roves old office.

20. this is one of the stranger stories I have heard in a while

Petersen said that she was never told exactly what happened by authorities.

:wtf:

[StClone]

23. If you listen to Rachel Maddow Show

She when through a list of weird goings-on concerning many incidents of smoky fires, chemical spills, odd truck fires around the Nations Capitol and Pentagon in recent weeks. Coincidence probably, but it really is odd especially noting that most have no known origin and the areas affected often are closed in ways seeming not normal in procedure.
