Postal employees in Chapel Hill intercepted a package Thursday addressed to Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards after they found the letter contained a powdery substance, authorities said.
Brian Curran, Chapel Hill's interim police chief, said the package is awaiting testing.
"We do not believe that the public is in any danger," Curran said in a statement.
It's the second package with a powdery substance that has been mailed to the Edwards campaign. Campaign staffers had to evacuated their Chapel Hill office in March after an employee opened a package that contained a powdery substance and negative comments.
Police found that the powdery substance in the first package was negative for anthrax. The FBI has an open investigation to determine the source.
Ken Lucas, a spokesman for the FBI in Charlotte, said the agency will also begin investigating the origin of Thursday's package.

The Edwards campaign declined to comment about the package Thursday.

3. funny the GOP touts their alleged uber anti-terrorism credentials

.... when their own rank and file behave like terrorists themselves.

I find this act of bullying of one our candidates reprehensible and proof that we really need to lock arms behind our ultimate nominee and put a Democrat in the White House.

These people really scare me. :scared:
