That's a pretty despicable story. But we have come to expect such things from Reuters.
Somebody's coke got misrouted.
Un-freakin-believable.
My fantasy is that a few million individuals claim responsibility, reminiscent of that scene in Spartacus, where everybody stands up and says, "I am Spartacus".
Not many conservatives, but a lot of people who love the USA and are good at sniffing out RATS!

Times Envelope Had 'Suspicious Powder'
NEW YORK (1010 WINS) -- Police were called to The New York Times on Friday after the newspaper received an envelope containing a suspicious-looking powder.
A worker opened the envelope, which contained a "white powdery substance," at about 12:30 p.m. It was not immediately known what the substance was.
Times spokeswoman Catherine Mathis that the worker "followed our protocol to put the envelope in a plastic bag and call the police. New York City police are on site investigating."
Mathis said the employee was being tended to, and the mailroom was evacuated and sealed off.
The envelope, hand-addressed to The New York Times, bore a Philadelphia postmark and had no return address.
Anthrax-tainted letters were sent to numerous media outlets and offices in 2001, just weeks after the Sept. 11 attacks. Five people died, and since then, officials have been cautious when suspicious powders are detected.

Probably some of Putz Sulzberger's private coke stash...
Brave almost martyrs to the cause of treason. I weep bitter tears for them.
And how many soldiers' and civilian lives will their snitching cost?
Mailing themselves a letter filled with douche powder doesn't get them off my sh#t list.
You got it. Or some leftist trying to help out the times. I give more credit to conservatives. If it was a conservative that wanted them dead they would be dead.
"NY Slimes still a bunch of liars. I would bet they mailed it themselves so they can create a story about how far the "Neo-Cons" have gone."
Ditto. But if something like this happenned to, say Fox News, Reuters would be underplaying it if not outright ignoring the story.
LOL! Excellent.
Hi.
what did you expect for the paper that claims Bush is a bigger threat to the US than islamofacists.
