The white powder escaped?
It wasnt blown out with the explosive force? It sat, waited for an opening, then ran out of the package shouting "FREEDOM!!"?
I wonder if it'll be the new "hot" item in public paranoia, ricin.

These guys, possibly annother member/accomplice?
Having nothing to lose, being in connection and inevitibly implicated as on of the members of the group striking out on their own as a last ditch?

Caution: secretly tape recorded by a confidential informant
With these words we enter the real possibility (proven over and over) that the tale is about someone in the room who was also saying "Hell yeah" and "Damn straight" - but isn't being charged.

Government making it's own problems again. Egg on a bunch of lunatics for months or years, go so far as to supply them with weapons and materials then point and shout: "see, I told you these people couldnt be trusted!"
They arm cartels, ship in drugs to sell to us, fabricate excuses to bomb foreign countries, it's a no-brainer they would instigate their own "home grown" terror plots. Gives their lives meaning and purpose and keeps the moron mass just timid enough to obey.
Come to think of it, there's always an informant. It's like no individual or group ever takes any action without an informant being involved somewhere down the line. As if to have a successful attack you need an informant present or involved.edit on 4-11-2011 by thisguyrighthere because: (no reason given)

Another more thorough report
No traces of a powdery substance were found, and no evidence of an explosion was found inside the post office, said Fletcher, who was designated as the incident spokesman.
“The package was intact. We didn’t have any explosions inside,” Fletcher said.
