HOUSTON: WIFE OF OIL EXECUTIVE A BOMBING VICTIM

This story, though tragic, is made potentially far more important in light of the public anger at Big Oil that has been fueled and exacerbated by the Obama administration; the BP oil spill response, though totally bungled and encumbered by the White House, has also served to inflame tensions. It is not yet known if the package containing a bomb - left at the door of a home owned by an oil executive and his wife - was placed there because of the oil connection.

The potential exists but is not confirmed and it should not be assumed that's what happened until a suspect is identified.

That said, an updated report from KTRK provides a bit more information, saying that the bomb consisted of tacks, nails, and batteries. It sounds reminiscent of the kind the Weather Underground would make. It will be interesting, to say the least, if this turns out to be a leftwing lunatic who specifically targeted the wife of an Oil Executive. If that ends up being what happened, it will be interesting to see how it's handled. Hopefully, not like the case of Kenneth Gladney or the Black Panthers was dealt with. The woman was targeted because the box had her name on it. The only question now is, why?
