2700.
IT IS DOWN TODAY BY 1.4%, NEARLY
39-POINT DROP.
THE FORMER BOSTON POLICE
COMMISSIONER ED DAVIS KIND
ENOUGH TO JOIN US NOW.
I'M SURE YOU WERE ABLE TO YOUR
COMMISSIONER O'NEILL AND OTHER
OFFICIALS IN NEW YORK AS THEY
WENT THROUGH THE DEVELOPMENTS.
I DID THINK WAS INTERESTING.
JOHN MILLER WAS THE GENTLEMAN
SPEAKING THERE.
THE DEPUTY COMMISSIONER HERE FOR
INTELLIGENCE AND
COUNTERTERRORISM IN NEW YORK.
GONE IN AND OUT OF THAT BUSINESS
AND LAW ENFORCEMENT.
HE SEEMED TO LAY OUT A TIMELINE
OF ALL OF THIS TO GEORGE SOROS,
THE PHILANTHROPIST AND INVESTOR
IN WHAT HAVE YOU, HE HAD
RECEIVED THIS PACKAGE AT HIS
HOME IN SUBURBAN NEW YORK OVER
THE WEEKEND.
IT SEEMS LIKE THEY'RE ABLE TO
PIECE TOGETHER THINGS THAT THE
OTHER PACKAGES AND TO USE HIS
WORDS WERE NEARLY IDENTICAL.
HE TALKED ABOUT THE PACKAGE
BEING SENT TO THE OBAMA SPIRIT
OBVIOUSLY IT DOES SEEM LIKE WE
HAVE A PATTERN DEVELOPING HERE.
WHEN YOU MAKE OF IT ALL?
>> THERE IS A PATTERN DEVELOPING
AND CLEARLY IT HAS A POLITICAL
CONNECTION.
MOTIVATION IS A BIG PART OF WHAT
THE INVESTIGATORS WILL LOOK AT.
JOHN MILLER IS A FRIEND OF MINE.
YOU COULDN'T GET TO BETTER COPS
IN THE UNITED IS DIRECTED AT
THIS.
I'M FEELING CONFIDENT THEY'LL BE
ABLE TO RUN THIS PERSON DOWN.
THEY'RE GOING TO LOOK AT THE
CONSTRUCTION OF THE DEVICE.
THEY'RE GOING TO LOOK FOR DNA
AND FINGERPRINTS.
THEY'RE GOING TO LOOK FOR
PECULIARITIES OF THAT DEVICE AND
COMPARE IT TO DATABASES HELD BY
POLICE AND MILITARY, IED DEFEAT
WILL BE INVOLVED IN THIS AND THE
DEFENSE DEPARTMENT.
THERE WILL BE ALL SORTS OF EYES
ON THIS AND THEN THEY'RE GOING
TO TRACK THE PACKAGE BACK
THROUGH THE MAIL SYSTEM TO FIND
OUT OR GET AS CLOSE AS THEY CAN
TO WHERE HE CAME FROM.
THERE'S BEEN A GOOD RECORD OF
CLOSING THESE CASES.
I THINK THE UNABOMBER IS AN
EXAMPLE WHERE WENT ON FOR A LONG
TIME BEFORE THEY CAUGHT IN, BUT
THEY DID CATCH THEM.
I THINK THERE'S A VERY GOOD
CHANCE WE'LL FIND OUT WHO'S
RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS.
>> POLITICAL OFFICIALS WHO HAVE
BEEN NAMED UP UNTIL A FEW
MOMENTS AGO, YOU KNOW, EVEN
INCLUDING ALL THE POLITICAL
OFFICIALS HAVE BEEN DEMOCRAT.
SO I SAID EARLIER, AND YOU DON'T
WANT TO RUSH TO JUDGMENT OR MAKE
ASSUMPTIONS, BUT OBVIOUSLY THAT
AIDS IN THE INVESTIGATION.
BE MY GUESS, NO QUESTION.
NOT ONLY DOES IT AID IN THE
INVESTIGATION, BUT IT ALSO GIVES
PAUSE TO HIGH-PROFILE DEMOCRATS
AND OTHER PARTS OF THE COUNTRY.
THE SECURITY APPARATUS AROUND
THE NATION IS IDENTIFYING
INDIVIDUALS WHO MAY BE TARGETED
HERE AND MAKING SURE THAT THEY
ARE VERY, VERY CAREFUL ABOUT
HANDLING MAIL AND ABOUT PACKAGES
THAT THEY DEAL WITH.
THIS COULD CONTINUE INTO THE
EVENING AS MAIL DELIVERIES ARE
MADE.
NOW THE PEOPLE ARE AWARE OF IT,
AND THE CHANCE OF A SUCCESSFUL
DETONATION IS LOWER AND I THINK
THAT'S A TESTAMENT TO SECURITY
SERVICES OUT THERE RIGHT NOW.
NEIL: THAT'S THE OTHER HEADLINE.
THERE'S A NUMBER OF THEM, BUT
THE OTHER ONE WAS THAT THERE IS
A LIKELIHOOD I BELIEVE IS HOW
IT'S PHRASED THAT THERE ARE
OTHER PACKAGES OUT THERE.
THAT'S A REASONABLE ASSUMPTION,
DON'T YOU THINK, COMMISSIONER?
>> I THINK IT IS AND WE HAVE TO
BE CAUTIOUS ABOUT.
THE OTHER INTERESTING THING THAT
CAME OUT OF THE PRESS CONFERENCE
WAS THE PRESENCE OF WHITE
POWDER.
THEY'RE A DIFFERENT PROTOCOLS
FOR DEALING WITH THOSE THINGS.
DIFFERENT RESPONSE, DIFFERENT
PROTOCOLS.
THIS DUAL THREAT DOES MAKE IT
MORE DIFFICULT TO RESPOND TO.
TRAIN
CONNELL: I DON'T THINK WE KNOW
IF THERE IS WHITE POWDER ON ANY
OF THE OTHER PACKAGES.
WE DON'T KNOW THAT.
JUST THE CNN PACKAGE.
>> THE ONE THAT CNN HAD WHITE
POWDER ON IT.
OTHERS HAVE SAID THESE OR
SIMILAR PACKAGES.
IT IS CLEARLY SOMETHING YOU HAVE
TO WORRY ABOUT.
>> ANYTHING YOU'RE THINKING
ABOUT TODAY IN TERMS OF
QUESTIONS WE DON'T HAVE ANSWERED
YET.
THIS PICTURE AND RALPH, COLLECT
ME IF I'M WRONG OF THE PACKAGE
SENT TO CNN, WAS THIS RELEASED
BY THE NEW YORK CITY POLICE
DEPARTMENT?
THIS IS THE PACKAGE SENT TO CNN
DESCRIBED BY OTHER OFFICIALS IS
WHAT APPEAR TO BE A PIPE BOMB.
BUT ENOUGH YOU CAN SEE THIS.
I DON'T KNOW IF YOU HAVE A
RETURN FEED WHERE YOU ARE.
JOHN SAID IT APPEARS TO BE A
PIPE ON.
WE READ ANYTHING INTO THAT AS
HOW PROFESSIONAL THE PERSON MAY
HAVE BEEN OR HOW AMATEURISH THIS
PERSON MAY HAVE BEEN HER
PERSONS.
>> THE INTERESTING PART OF THIS
AS IT APPEARS THERE WASN'T A
FIRST ONE.
THE FACT THIS GUY DIDN'T BLOW
HIMSELF UP IN THE CONSTRUCTION
OF THEM IS AN INDICATION OF SOME
SOPHISTICATION.
THAT LOOKS LIKE A VERY WELL-MADE
DEVICE FROM THE LOOKS OF IT FROM
THE OUTSIDE.
YOU'VE GOT CAPS ON BOTH ENDS OF
SOME SORT.
A WIRE COMING INTO WHAT MAY BE A
DETONATOR OR CELL PHONE OR
