It wasn't clear to me until after we learned about NSA spying on everyone's email.Think about it. How many people no longer trusted the mail and opted to email instead. Makes sense now, the picture is clear.

My main thing remembered from the time was Tom Daschle was targeted. So I am going to start off with an unknown right wing group as the main suspect.
In July 2000, Taliban leader Mullah Mohammed Omar, collaborating with the United Nations to eradicate heroin production in Afghanistan, declared that growing poppies was un-Islamic, resulting in one of the world's most successful anti-drug campaigns. The Taliban enforced a ban on poppy farming via threats, forced eradication, and public punishment of transgressors. The result was a 99% reduction in the area of opium poppy farming in Taliban-controlled areas, roughly three quarters of the world's supply of heroin at the time.
Opium production in Afghanistan has been on the rise since U.S. occupation started in 2001.[4] Based on UNODC data, there has been more opium poppy cultivation in each of the past four growing seasons (2004–2007) than in any one year during Taliban rule. Also, more land is now used for opium in Afghanistan than for coca cultivation in Latin America.

He and another key member of Congress were against the PATRIOT ACT.
I guess death threats really do work.
