Aha, well then on my very stretched example, the can of snuff with the star of David would mean that they were promising to snuff (kill) the Jews. The cigar would be a metaphor for the president (Clinton metaphor) and presumably, the government, J-Lo the materialistic American culture (WTC) and the "All" detergent - on 911.

LOL! How's that for a stretch?!

Not bad. It was something like that, I expect. A cigar is a multivalent symbol -- it could stand for sex, decadance, clinton, celebration, a tower, a one, an airliner -- so that doesn't bother me much, given that we don't know what the letter said. A Star of David buried in a powder seems obvious. The only really weird one was the detergent packet and I think the "all"/"911" idea is just a dandy explanation for that.
