These guys send fake anthrax.
They have apologists and adherents in the highest echelons of Bu$hCo's military:
Lt. Gen. William G. "Jerry" Boykin, the new deputy undersecretary of Defense for intelligence, is a much-decorated and twice-wounded veteran of covert military operations. From the bloody 1993 clash with Muslim warlords in Somalia chronicled in "Black Hawk Down" and the hunt for Colombian drug czar Pablo Escobar to the ill-fated attempt to rescue American hostages in Iran in 1980, Boykin was in the thick of things.
Yet the former commander and 13-year veteran of the Army's top-secret Delta Force is also an outspoken evangelical Christian who appeared in dress uniform and polished jump boots before a religious group in Oregon in June (2003) to declare that radical Islamists hated the United States "because we're a Christian nation, because our foundation and our roots are Judeo-Christian ... and the enemy is a guy named Satan."
Discussing the battle against a Muslim warlord in Somalia, Boykin told another audience, "I knew my God was bigger than his. I knew that my God was a real God and his was an idol."
"We in the army of God, in the house of God, kingdom of God have been raised for such a time as this," Boykin said...
On at least one occasion, in Sandy, Ore., in June, Boykin said of President Bush: "He's in the White House because God put him there..."
The majority of voters damned sure didn't.
General Boykin is an example of the religious attitude that's actively infiltrating and subverting the armed forces of the United States. They build megachurches near Air Force academies and bases seeking to influence the people that live and work there. They claim to be above politics but share an obsession with political power. They're the Dominionists.
And they work for the Republican Party.

No argument, Jay.
In fact, that's exactly the point.
Theocrats of any denomination are a threat to us.
