Default Freeper sends some white powder through the mail

A while back, the Murdoch-owned NY Post mocked Keith Olbermann when he received an envelope of white powder, thereby interfering with the FBI investigation.

Well, now they've nabbed a suspect. Turns out, it's a blogger on Free Republic.
Quote:
Investigators identified Chad Castagana, 39, of Woodland Hills, California, as the person suspected of sending more than a dozen threatening letters to media outlets and the homes of public figures in various cities, the FBI said in a statement on Sunday evening.

According to a federal search warrant, among those who received threatening letters were Jon Stewart of Comedy Central’s “The Daily Show;” talk show host David Letterman; Keith Olbermann of MSNBC; Rep. Nancy Pelosi of California, who is set to become Speaker of the House of Representatives, and Sen. Charles Schumer of New York, both Democrats.
Can't wait to see how Fox News covers this little item. Gosh darn those liberals, emboldening the terrorists.

So will this guy get to face a military commission? Maybe a little waterboarding?

Which reminds me: What's the state of the anthrax letters investigation? Officially? Rumour-wise?

The Freepers are on the case.

I have to love the relationship that Freep and DU have for each other. Gives me a warm fuzzy about the future of bi-partisanship.

$2.5 million reward still outstanding. No arrests, no suspects.

At least DU is intentionally funny.

It's like the White House Press Office the day the Ted Haggard meth-addled gay sex scandal broke.
