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.

Ask ‘em then. Call the Congressmen. Call the Capitol Hill post office. Call the Capitol Hill police. Report back when it suits ya.

Jim was a liberal. That didn’t really enter into what he was at the Star Tribune. He was a journalist in the real sense of the word. Yes, he was a pretty good guy.

Amy is a power hungry, gun-grabbing, former county attorney. Her office got caught breaking the law on what buildings could be legally posted banning guns in Minneapolis. They were never held accountable. The signs were quietly taken down and it all went away.

She will evolve and eventually position herself well to the left of the late Paul Wellstone.

I can’t say Code Pink was involved, but I’ll bet you anything whoever did it was at least partially inspired by the mess Code Pink made in Berkeley.

As far as I am concerned, the city council of Berkeley bears at least part of the moral responsibility for this. Just thank God no one was killed.

According to this AP article 'We Did It' Letters Eyed in NY Bombing

....Capitol Police, FBI and U.S. Postal Inspection Service were investigating. In an e-mail to lawmakers, Capitol Police said the envelopes went through the standard security process. 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....

The Associated Press obtained a copy of an e-mail sent from the office of Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., to other lawmakers Thursday that reads:

..."A few offices on the House side have received a letter today addressed to 'Members of Congress' with a picture of a man standing in front of the Times Square recruiting station that was bombed in New York today with the statement 'We did it.' He is standing in front of it with his arms spread out and he's attached his political manifesto."....

Maybe it's poor reporting, maybe it's a mistake on Dian Feinstein's (or staff) part, or maybe the guy(s) just got lucky....But it is quite curious that the letters were supposedly received on the same day of the bombing with the possiblity of significant time lags with the DC mail/irradiation system in place.
