Letters under scrutiny in NY blast (8 democrats received the letter)
AP via Yahoo! ^ | MATT APUZZO

Posted on 03/06/2008 4:11:01 PM PST by Brilliant

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.

Sounds like it was motivated by politics.

thanks for the thread Brillant. More than one letter sent. Fox News is trying to determine what offices on Cap Hill recieved the letters

Only one comment has been reported from the letter, "We did it."

Whoever did this horrible deed probably did it because they don’t like the violence of war. Who could be our suspects? Code Pink??? Hollywood??? Sean Penn??? Michael Moore??? Chris Matthews???

I just heard this on Fox - pics were sent of the recruiting station, prior to the bombing, to 8 Democrat critters. I’m curious who they are and what they did when they first received the pics. WHAT DID THEY KNOW AND WHEN DID THEY KNOW IT????? :-)

It bothers me that they keep refering to this bomb as small. Any pedestrian that would have been walking by could have been killed or severely injured by this blast.

This just sucks. *I'm* a bicyclist.

No cheers, unfortunately.

Send the bombers to Iraq and have them perform sweeps for IEDs since they seem to be interested in explosions?

Cheers!

Politico manifesto. I’ll tell you how we stop this from the wacky left. Start hanging people in the middle of NYC and they won’t do it anymore.

Pics of a man in front of the building with his arms out and a note that said, “We did it,” along with a manifesto.

You're right. It's only small if you're not around when it goes off.

That's what I said when I first heard of the bombing this morning.

The scumbag anti-war left strikes again.

They are about as “peace loving” as their Islamo-facist brethren are.

And to top it off they notified their ideological allies in the Democratic caucus on the hill too.

Denver ought to be a hoot this year. Chicago ‘68 redux I pray.

The Rats should be pegged for being enablers in this case..
If the letters went to Repubs, the Rat congress would've already
started hearings and throwing subpoena's around like Valentine love hearts.

Thank God NY recruiters aren’t in the office early. Recruiters around here are often in the office by 5 am. You’d think if a recruiting station was going to be blown up it would be in Berkley.

Isn’t that the truth. Feinstein issued a statement saying the letters were received today, but the Fox producer said with security screening of mail it takes weeks for mail to arrive in the offices. Seems pretty convenient for her to assert that they arrived today, meaning no one had time to raise an alert, I suppose.

Hoo-boy, if that's the case, they have some 'splainin' to do.

And if that's the case, we all need to hound them mercilessly until they lose their seats on the Hill. I'm not kidding.

We’re not getting the exact words..... in reality the letters said not “we did it” but......

“YES WE CAN!”

/s

Maybe not sarcasm after all, when we consider Obama’s pals from the Weather Underground, and even if they are ‘retired’ they may have some new imitators.

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.

"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!!
