Good news. The crazie who has allegedly mailed the fake anthrax powder to Keith Olbermann has been arrested in California. And, he is is also a suspect in other incidents involving liberal celebrities and politicans:
A California man suspected of mailing threatening letters containing a suspicious white powder to celebrities and U.S. politicians has been arrested and could face federal charges on Monday, the FBI said.
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.
Just for the record, I don’t recall any fake anthrax letters being sent to Republican celebrities and pols, do you? Assuming Mr. Castagana is guilty, it seems clear he had it in for liberal politicans and other people identified with anti-Republican sentiments. I wonder who gave him the idea that mailing threatening letters filled with white powder was a legitimate means of expressing his opinion about their political views. What do you think: this person or this one? Or someone else?
Well, at least one of these eliminationist nutjobs is off the streets.
Update [2006-11-13 11:34:54 by Steven D]: Apparently Chad Castagana, the accused terrorist, frequented Free Republic and other conservative websites.
