Excerpt:

A suspicious package containing a letter and a stuffed animal bearing the Star of David was opened at state Sen. Greg Ball's Albany office Tuesday afternoon.

The letter begins with "Asa Lamu Laikum Dead Man Walking," (the first part of which some sources translate as "peace be upon you" in Arabic) refers to Ball (R, C - Patterson) as a "crazy, Christian cracker" who lacks political correctness, citing Friday's hearing on homeland security, veterans and military affairs.
