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.

It has been YOU that has ‘bitten down like a pit bull’ with your constant egotistical missives aimed towards me and others who are interested in all the angles of this story.

So why don’t you kindly remove your teeth from my arse and go play your ‘holier than thou’ games with someone else?

You have been nothing but a borish little naysayer on this thread, who seems jealous and obsessed with Buck for some odd reason....LOL

I want to know if some leading leftists have an alibi for that night!

Time to demand alibis for people who had known motive-means-opportunity (unless they can be ruled out via rock-solid alibis).

Where was leftist ranter Al Gore, where was known terrorist Bill Ayers, where was the drooling nutjob Michael Moore??? Has anyone determined Bill Maher’s or Keith Olbermann’s whereabouts that night?

It’s true that Albore and Michael Moore may be too physically bloated to pass for the guy on the bicycle, but let’s see them publicly asked for their alibis.

Until they provide one they are prime suspects.

[ok, I’m kidding..... I think] :^)

From KNBC, Los Angeles, FBI: Hollywood Hills Man Not Connected To Times Square Bomb

..."The envelopes bore the name of a man with a Los Angeles-area return address, and FBI agents questioned a man who lives in the Hollywood Hills, according to NBC4.

Eimiller confirmed that FBI agents questioned someone on a Los Angeles area property on Thursday night, but the individual's identity was not disclosed."...

..."NBC4's Robert Kovacik said the man who was questioned apparently sent the packages to Congress to protest the war in Iraq. He is simply an antiwar activist, Kovacik reported, and his correspondence to lawmakers was just a coincidence, sent to mark this month's fifth anniversary of the start of the war in Iraq.

The red-headed man in the photos appeared to be in his 30s, a congressional staff member who saw the envelopes told WNBC-TV in New York."...

More on the letters from Fox News, Times Square Bombing Letters May Not Have Been Delivered Via U.S. Mail

...."The U.S. Capitol Police say that the letters "properly passed through Congressioonal mail screening procedures before arriving at various Congressional Offices and been determined to be safe."

However, FOX News has learned that the letters may have been dropped off in person at internal mail pick-up sites inside the Capitol complex and office buildings, been screened, and then delivered to Congressional offices.

U.S. Capitol police say the envelopes are "affixed with two (one dollar) stamps."

However, sources tell FOX News that it's believed that at least a couple of the letters did not bear postmarks."...

..."But Capitol Hill sources indicate that someone familar with internal House mail procedures could have dropped off the letters in a manner for them to appear at Congressional offices in conjunction with the Times Square incident.

However, it's unclear if the letters could have been dropped off and delivered on the same day."....

..."Those letters that were discovered appear to have been delivered between 3 and 6 p.m. ET to Congressional offices."....

It's a conspiracy between the Dems, local law enforcement, the FBI, the post office, and the psychle-bomber! Maybe even HuckWheatBuck!

You're weird, Willis.

I’ll really would be interested in learning just how the letters got to the offices without going through the postal service.

Code Pink does that crap all the time.

Are you not convinced there is some massive conspiracy between all the groups I mentioned? There HAS to be! We should start by waterboarding Diane Feinstein.

I forgot to add earlier "the media". They're in on it too.

OK, if you insist. Let's waterboard Feinstein. Can we also do the same with John Conyers? Who are the other members of the "Out of Iraq Caucus." Let's waterboard 'em all.

Not that they have any information worth getting from them, it just sounds like a fun thing to do.

See, now if everyone just said let’s waterboard them for S & G’s then I’d be on board. S & G’s is a more valid reason then trying to pin some connection to this bombing on them.

Thanks for the comments and the inclusion of that incident. I appreciate it. I agree with your comments related to the combat hand grenade.
