Extremist taunts his victims from prison
Victims of Eric Rudolph, the anti-abortion extremist who pulled off a series of bombings across the South, say he is taunting them from deep within the nation's most secure federal prison, and authorities say there is little they can do to stop him.

Rudolph, who was captured after a five-year manhunt and pleaded guilty in deadly bombings at the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta and a Birmingham abortion clinic, is serving life in prison at the "Supermax" penitentiary in Florence, Colo.

Housed in the most secure part of the prison, he has no computer and little contact with the outside world aside from writing letters.

But Rudolph's long essays have been posted on the Internet by a supporter who maintains an Army of God Web site. The Army of God is the same loose-knit group that Rudolph claimed to represent in letters sent after the blasts.

2. I'd start sending him vacation postcards.
Hiya Eric,

Here's a postcard from Mazatlan! Nice place . . . pretty beach. I can go here any time I want! Isn't that great!?

Don't wish you were here!

Signed,

Me.

3. They most certainly CAN stop those letters
It would be inhumane to take paper and pen away from him, but they can certainly intercept those letters, even if it takes a change of guards to do it.

There is absolutely no reason for people who have already been injured by a maniac to have to read that garbage from him.

All they need to do is consult a lawyer, get an injunction against having those letters leave the prison.

In the meantime, I'm delighted he's in solitary. One thing I am always afraid of is that these lunatics will spread their hate among the general population.
