Come here, little bomber! We just want to listen to your grievances!

A former FBI profiler says the mailbox bomber "is angry with the government." Looking at his note: duh.

But perhaps the profilers still on the payroll haven't come to that conclusion, given this gambit:

On Saturday, FBI special agent Jim Bogner invited the bomber to contact the FBI with his grievances.

"We want to assure him he has our attention and we want to understand what the situation is," Bogner said. "It's a much better option to exercise than planting bombs and injuring people who have nothing to do with these grievances."

Ah, it's nice to know that kind of innocent childlike optimism is still alive in this world.
