Feds: Dubious packages sent to Guard, Reserve

WASHINGTON — Suspicious packages have been sent to National Guard and Reserve facilities in 36 states, federal authorities said Wednesday.

Initial reports from the Guard that one of the packages contained a powdery substance turned out to be incorrect, officials said.

An internal report from the Department of Homeland Security, dated Tuesday, said the 51 packages included anti-war compact discs and began arriving at locations around the country last Friday.

A classified meeting about the mailings was under way at midday Wednesday at the Guard’s joint operation center, which monitors deployments of teams sent out to investigate such incidents, Guard spokesman Randy Noller said.

All of the 51 packages were postmarked from Tennessee, according to the internal Homeland Security report.

1. anti-war compact discs - must prevent this subversive poison from reaching our uniformed killers.
These CDs are more dangerous than any white powder.
