Breaking:Two McCain Offices Receive Envelopes With White Powder, Threat; Seven Examined at Medical Center

UPDATE: In Colorado, Fox 31 reported: "Preliminary tests indicated the substance was not hazardous and sources tell FOX 31 the return address on the envelope was from an inmate in Arapahoe County who has a history of making threats."
That's good news.
UPDATE: CNN has just put up a banner, but no story, about the envelopes, calling it a "developing story" with information to come later. They should read Now Public!
Fox 31 in Denver has video of the situation at the Denver office after John McCain campaign offices received threats and white powder in envelopes this afternoon. Note: Click on the sentence that says "John Romero reports" to access video. It's not quite clear from their layout if that sentence refers to this story or the one noted above it, about the DNC.
Seven people at the Colorado office were examined at a medical center.
Two John McCain campaign offices received envelopes containing an unidentified white powder and a threatening note Thursday afternoon.
Spokesman Jeff Sadosky told FOX News that the first letter was found in the Denver office at about 5 p.m. ET. Another was found in the Manchester, N.H., office more than an hour later.
Update: while haz mat teams secure the Colorado office, officials now say they aren't sure if the NH threats came with powder in the envelope.

PEP, I like this story. It's good stuff.
What kind of sicko does this? Even though there's probably nothing harmful in the packages (hopefully!) whoever sent them should be arrested and serve time in jail.

CNN is finally catching on to this story, heh heh! They're often so very slowwwww. Yes, it takes a real sicko, BigT.Thanks for the read and the flag.

I just checked all the TV stations in Denver for a video to post with this story and could not find one !
Why would they not want a video of this to play on the local TV news channels ?
I know on the national news where I am tonight, there was about a 5-second sound-byte on this ...

PEP, thanks for getting this story out so quickly. It will now show up on the home page for four hours. If new developments justify it, I'll renew this flag for another cycle.

Maybe it was cocaine that was meant for the Obama headquarters!

PEP, I like this story. It's good stuff. Certainly anyone wanting to disrupt a city or community, all one has to do is put any type of white powder into an envelope and send it via post. Chances of catching whoever did it, zilch!

This is sick.

The line between normal life and something sick like this is so very thin these days, isn't it? Or at least something like this makes it seem so. Thanks for the reads, comments, and flags, ya'll. And thanks also to those who added materials.
Ya'll rock!
