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.

A friend of mine, otherwise a kind and gentle man remarked that should the perp be caught, that he/she should be hanged in Times Square. He also added other comments which I am not at liberty to forward. I like it here and I do not want to be zotted, so use your imagination.

I heard Diane Feinstien got one too or sent a memo out about it. MSM trying to keep this on the ‘down-low’...BUT

IF THE DEMS KNEW ABOUT THIS BEFORE IT HAPPENED AND DID NOT REPORT IT....WE NEED TO RAISE HOLY HELL!!

"they keep refering to this bomb as small"

As you say, anyone who happened by could easily have been killed, and one article quoted a guest on the 21ST floor of the Marriott Hotel saying that they felt the room tremble - it was a potentially lethal explosion and should be treated as the political TERRORISM that it is. It is in the style of the Weather Underground tradition of political terrorism -- Obama's pals Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn. Just because those two might be retired doesn't mean they don't have admiring imitators in the loony left.

“Dems are going down-none of them reported it...what a shock. I can’t wait to hear these 8 moonbats explain this one away.”

They will claim that the letters were never ‘received’ because of ‘snail’ mail and the security checks they go through before they get to their offices.

Don’t hold your breath that any truth will come out about it!!

If ‘Rat scumbags in Congress had a heads-up from these terrorists and did nothing with the info, we need to make the blogosphere ‘explode’ (metaphor) with outrage that the soft-on-terrorists ‘Rats sat on their fat behinds while an imminent attack proceeded with a bombing of our armed forces recruiting station. Let’s get the facts, and if there is indeed cause for outrage then let’s raise hell.

Take this into account since I heard it from Shep...but I understood it to be that Feinstein sent out an email that AP got a hold of, that mentioned the members of the South Side (House) got letters with a photo of a man in front of the center (prior to the attack) He also had a political manifesto in his hands or in the letter itself railing against the war in Iraq. (that was not clear from the report)

I am with you! We need to get the republican congressmen to demand hearings regardless! Remember...’it’s not the seriousness of the crime, but the seriousness of the charge’...LOL... That’s what the dems do!!

Time for some taste of their own medicine!!

“I wonder what the bomber’s DU screen name is?”

I’m sure you meant that to be funny, but does anyone really doubt who “we” is?

Correct. This was probably done by some radicals who wanted the Dems to stop the war...NOW.

Be vigilant, everywhere you go. This isn't over. Not by a long shot.

I'm with you.

Notice that after the attacks over 300 recruiting centers were put on a higher alert.

Hmmm, wonder if the b@st@rds at Berkley are going to go after the marine corp recruit center again this week?

"Small, rudimentary, minor damage"

Yeah, my a$$. From the same Fox story:

"I was up on the 44th floor and I could feel it. It was a big bang," said Darla Peck, 25, of Portland, Oregon. "It shook the building. I thought it could have been thunder, but I looked down and there was a massive plume of smoke so I knew it was an explosion," said Terry Leighton, 48, of London, who was staying on the 21st floor of the Marriot."

There is a recruiting station in Minneapolis that regularly has stones thrown through the front windows. The story goes unreported due to the fact that the cops can’t catch anybody at it. So, the media doesn’t cover it (why would they?) because the cops don’t want to be embarrased and they surely wouldn’t want some patriotic citizens “solving” it for them......

From Politico.com:

A senior House aide suggested many more members than the eight Democrats originally beliveved to have received them could have gotten copies and suggested law enforcement officials do not know the full scope of how many missives were actually sent at this time.

8 House Dems get letters

Looks like a continuation of the standard policy of “No enemies to the Left.”

Liberals are not whistleblowers except for political gain.
