I don't know, like I said, he's also against any gun law, so it could be something, it could be nothing. If any other senators do get ricin parcels then perhaps a pattern will emerge, but until then it's idle guesswork on my behalf. I can't see anything on Wikipedia that would single him out as a priority target by an Islamic militant, although I must concede it could just be random, perhaps a hope that his mail wouldn't be checked as throughly as the head of the Senate? Again, idle guesswork, it could equally be a nutjob of either political demographic.
Or maybe SecDef holds grudges?

True, this is true.
