Unabomber Theodore Kaczynski wrote a letter to a federal appeals court complaining about a museum exhibit of the tiny cabin where he plotted an 18-year bombing spree.
Kaczynski said in the three-page, handwritten letter to the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco that he learned his cabin was at the Newseum from a June 19 newspaper ad in the Washington Post.
"Since the advertisement states that the cabin is 'FROM FBI VAULT,' it is clear that the government is responsible for the public exhibition of the cabin. This has obvious relevance to the victims' objection to publicity connected with the Unabom case," he wrote in the letter, dated July 15 and stamped as received by the court on July 28.
"I don't think I need to say anything further," he added. "The Court can draw its own conclusions."
This will suspend December 30th 2008. If the cabin is still on display in the "Newseum" on Jan 1st 2009 will settle as no. If removed before Jan 1st 2009 it will settle as yes. Removed as no longer on display to the public. It can still be in the building just not on display to the public. The reason for no longer being on display has to be court ordered. If the cabin is removed for any reason other than court ordered it counts as other not listed. See comments in comment section.
