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.
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 when, but House aides confirmed they were all Democrats.
The New York Times is reporting that the "improvised explosive device" used in the attack "was 'roughly similar”' to the devices used in two earlier bombings at foreign consulates in Manhattan in 2005 and 2007.
UPDATE: The letters and pictures went to Democrats representing New York City-based congressional districts, according to House sources. It's unclear whether Democratic Sens. Hillary Rodham Clinton and Charles Schumer received similar letters
Sums it up well..
..and those gits in Berkley are in for addition scrutiny.
tap, they are top on my list of suspects.
I doubt it. They haven't even updated their Wikipedia page since Tuesday.
A Mexican consular office, and a British, and a recruiting office.
Uh... OK. Color me stumped. I’m not getting anything.
The SDS should be banned as a terrorist organization. And I agree with you about Iraq. We can expect victory this summer.
“Begins with a B.”
Barak? :-)
I before E except after C ...... or when pronounced "A" as in "neighbor" or "weigh" : )
***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.***

Probably a disgruntled voter who expected the Dems were voted in to end the war and bring the troops home. I can’t wait until these perps are tracked down. From the description it sounds like an aging militant-hippie.
The unibiker!!! Hah!
They really are trying to make it 1968 again. Dangerous crackpots.
The Rats have only themselves to blame for encouraging this type of behavior.
Your point is well taken. However- included in these letters was a picture of a man standing with his arms outspread in front of the recruiting office where the bomb went off, so that might get one’s attention- with a 20 page rant on the war.
Rush’s fault...
We’re NYC democrat representatives and we approved of this bombing.
When they find this piece of human garbage, I hope he gets sent to Gitmo so he can spend some quality time with the jihadis he obviously admires.
Oh wow:) I’d forgotten the neighbor and weigh...my mother would not be pleased!
On February 15th 2008, the leftist terrorist group called The Student Democrat Society(SDS) took it upon themselves to attack the Armed Forces Recruiting Station at 13th and L Streets N.W. at 18:00(6 p.m.).
The violent leftists terrorists entered the recruiting station and proceed to trash the place of their own free accord as DC Police simply stoodby and did nothing about it. The terrorists took joy in reporting and recording their terrorist actions
(http://dc.indymedia.org/newswire/display/142455/index.php).
This is the second time that DC Police have stoodby as the terrorists who call themselves the SDS have runamuck in the city, this past summer they tore thru the Georgetown Area of the city hurling bricks at innocent bystanders as the police seemed powerless to stop them.
The SDS has a history of violent actions against men and women in uniform and those citizens who speak out against them and are only enbittered because the surge has worked and victory for American is close at hand. SDS and their allies are nothing more than homegrown terrorists and failed socialists who are the bottom of society!
