Nabbed....

In September, I posted here about the suspected anthrax mailed to Keith Olbermann (it turned out to be harmless powder) and how the New York Post ridiculed him for taking the threat seriously and seeking help. Over the weekend, the Feds arrested this man in connection with the mailing to Olbermann and others, including Nancy Pelosi and Charles Schumer.

A quick Google search provides some possible insight into this man's background. Here's a post by someone with the screen name Chad Castagana on the website "Expose the Left" (it's post #30 at the bottom of the linked page):

Congresswoman Katherine Harris is a remarkable lady !

She has perservered a lot to advance the Conservative Cause .

We Red-Bloooded Americans are obligated to support her, siritualy, not just politically !

The website "Expose the Left" has since become part of Hot Air -- the site described by its founder Michelle Malkin as "the world's first full-service conservative Internet broadcast network."

More: Here's part of an email that someone with the screen name Chad Castagana sent to SciFi.com:

How about creating a new sci-fi anthology with none of the puerile baggage of Rod Serling, Gene Roddenberry, Rockne O' Bannon, etc., etc. It is time to end their reign of Left-wing innuendo, their anti-American, anti-mankind cynicism and fatalism. Let us create a future of infinite possibilities devoid of the agenda of the social engineers who work their corruption on us through the one-way world of television (kind of how the liberal-left have always worked). The future is not with the Liberals, not with the Multiculturalists (both hate America), and it is certainly not to be found in Canada!

And more: Here's the link to a post on a different website by someone with the screen name Chad Castagana -- coincidentally, on the topic of deadly viruses.

While we're on guard against Islamic extremism, I suspect that in coming years the "threat next door" -- potentially fueled by the vitriol that infests our political and social discourse -- will demand vigilance as well.

And maybe one day we'll find out who was behind the anthrax mailings in 2001 that contributed to the pre-Iraq frenzy about WMD's....
