“8 House Dems get letters, photo of New York recruiting station before bombing
Eight House Democrats were mailed a letter and photo of a Times Square recruiting station in Manhattan before it was bombed this morning, according to House insiders.
UPDATE 2: A senior House aide suggested many more members than the eight Democrats originally believed 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.
The letter did not contain any specific threats against the lawmakers or the site, but the U.S. Capitol Police and the FBI are now investigating the matter.
It was unclear which lawmakers received the letters or their party affiliation. The letter was postmarked Feb. 28, a week before the explosion in New York.”
...The Associated Press obtained a copy of an e-mail 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."
The e-mail advised recipients to leave the letters alone and call police.
TOLD YOU!!
From Politico:
“UPDATE 3. Aides to Schumer and Clinton said they were not aware of any such letters being received by their offices, but under screening procedures put in place for Congress following the October 2001 anthrax attacks, it may take several weeks before a letter actually gets to a member or senator’s office. Five people died in that still unsolved attack.”
THE RATS ARE SO PREDICTABLE!!
Someone is going to pay for this failure to connecting the dots.
Cover-up.
We need to get a form letter written with links that we can email to our republican congresscritters. WE NEED TO DEMAND AN INVESTIGATION!!
I am so mad I can’t see straight! Sorry for the screaming...LOL
The media may not be with us, but they love a mystery. Lots of questions need answers.

The message on the card: “Happy New Year, We Did It.”
The envelope also contained a packet of approximately 10 sheets of paper that seemed to be a political manifesto railing against the Iraq war and a booklet. The aide didn’t know what the booklet was.
no use pen, one of my senators is braindead (Lautenberg) and the other is Martinez.
Norm Coleman just got a letter......Amy Klobuchar is on their side, so I didn’t bother with her......
...The manila envelopes contained a photo of a man standing in front of the recruiting station, according to a Democratic aide who spoke on condition of anonymity because the matter is under investigation. The photo was the kind commonly sent as a holiday greeting card.The message on the card: "Happy New Year, We Did It."

Postal inspectors were at the Capitol investigating the letters alongside Capitol Police, U.S. Postal Inspection Service spokesman Douglas Bem said. He had no details about the letters' content. A second law enforcement official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the case is ongoing, confirmed some of their contents as described by the Democratic aide.

The man was thin, white with graying hair, wearing a striped flannel shirt and jeans, according to the Democratic aide. ...
It doesn’t matter...we need to flood all of their offices with demands to INVESTIGATE!!
I know my senator will do something!!
Thanks!
After all it looked like they held back the fact that his recruiting site was a target.
Just curious, wonder if the other letters showed other recruiting sites????
Nah, the letters didn’t contain any dirty Instant-Message transcripts, or any obscure monkey-genus slurs, so they’re not important...[/s] [/redundant sarcasm tags].
Thanks for the links. I sent my messages alright!!!
