NY Dems Get Pix of Recruiting Stations Before Attack

Sphere: Related Content

An advanced warning or a message? Hard to tell but did any of them report the pix beforehand?

It's all inconclusive at this point but someone has a vendetta against the military, has hit consulates possibly and has decided to get violent about it:

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, but House aides confirmed they were all Democrats. The letter was postmarked Feb. 28, a week before the explosion in New York.
My first thought is that a photo of a recruiting station to me is an ambiguous threat just like if the pols received a picture of a family member. Second, what did the letters say, did they contain a direct threat and if so did the Dem Reps. report it prior to today?

These are questions that need immediate answers and go directly to the point of taking terror threats seriously, something the Dems have failed at on a consistent basis.

Here's hoping they get the friggin' bastard and put him away for terroristic acts.

Exit question: Could we be seeing the reemergence of 1960's terrorist groups like Obama acquaintance Bill Ayers?

Update: The letter contained anti-war rants. More proof that we are indeed seeing a new breed of radicals. It begs the latest question: If someone sent me an anti-war rant and included a picture of a recruiting station--knowing that recruiting stations were a favorite target in the 60's and in Berkeley recently--I would be inclined to report it and be quite suspicious.
