WASHINGTON - A law enforcement official says police are investigating letters sent to Capitol Hill offices showing pictures of a Times Square military recruiting station that was bombed.
According to the official, who was briefed on the investigation, the letters included words to the effect of, "We did it." The official did not know which offices received the letters.
The small bomb caused minor damage to the New York military recruiting station before dawn Thursday and police were searching for a hooded bicyclist seen on a surveillance video peddling away.

saying 9 offices were sent letters, No threats towards congressman/women. Apparently no one has produced any of the letters for the media to view. (actually that makes some sense, FBI must be checking them out for evidence.

Maybe it’s refering to some crazy unofficial year of the ‘dumbs—t’ or something. LOL You could be right. I’m just glad nobody was hurt.

I think you’ve broken the case, Huck!
:-)
BTW, are you watching On the Record w/Greta? Just had a guy on that said it takes a long time for letters to get through the Capital Hill post office. Didn’t believe the letters contained any threats and posited the letters might even be a hoax.

Now we know who “we” are: the bomber and the democrats.

I suspect that the FBI will be paying them a visit if they haven’t already.

“...That process, which involves radiating incoming mail, can easily take a week or more, making it likely the letters were mailed well ahead of the bombing.”....”

gsl, is that they guy you and Raoul were speaking about earlier this morning???? No, that's Luke Kuhn, affectionately referred to as "Wuke" by DC Chapter members.
He's a transient bicycle messenger/guerrilla radio operator/radical leftist in DC; who, BTW, participated in the attack on the recruiting center in DC a couple of weeks ago.

First thing that popped into my head this morning was Students for a Democratic Society (SDS). But it could also be a Ted Kaczynski wack job. Nobody knows yet. But a lot people are willing to speculate and some go so far as to imply some Democratic legislators are complicit.

Since the card said Happy New Year Im guessing that means that they planned to do this 6-8 weeks ago but, for whatever reason, their plan was delayed.I smell the stench of DU.

The political Left in this country is a collection of ineffectual morons who do things like this to get attention.
