I always thought Luqman Abdullah had a very good shot, and DJ Friend was a wild card. But I'm happy they're captured instead.  |

On the Kaufman item, I am working on a book about his bombings. (see TimeBomberBook.Blogspot.Com, no ads, just book progress) and he was not a Vietnam War radical. He was all about Civil Rights. His hand written notes to newsmen never once mentioned Vietnam, but they did have references to other civil rights advocates. Okay, he was Vietnam era but he was not protesting directly against the war. I have his court records too. Vietnam is only mentioned notionally, by his lawyer Leonard Weinglass, in what looked more like an attempt at more lenient sentencing. There was still a trend, though declining by 1987, in what I call the "Vietnam Protest Discount". It was an active and open practice by DOJ during the Carter administration and had he surrendered in those years he might not even have spent any jail time. This is not to be confused with the COINTELPRO discount, that many of The Weathermen enjoyed. That was due to some FBI practices deemed inadmissible in court, but the field agents were never notified, so they continued to gather evidence in a manner deemed illegal as court evidence. Kaufman, as far as I know, was never a COINTELPRO target. |

Hey Steve, welcome to the forum, and please let us know when the book is officially out! I certainly will! Stay tuned on the TimeBomberBook blog for progress too. Had to take an extended pause because of a new job and delays in more documentation. |

Just wanted to say I finally read the blog about your book more thoroughly. My knowledge about the case was limited to HeadMarshal's brief description and other articles. I assumed it was just mainly about misconceptions in the case itself but see there's a bit about Dr. Kauffman the person as well. While I certainly don't condone Dr. Kauffman's actions in the 70's, even if he never intended for one of the bombs to go off, he still could have accidentally killed somebody ,I am looking forward to reading more about the details of the case and his life on the run.
It is an interesting subject since he is from the 70's era of fugitive domestic bombers but his case has not been talked about as much as the others.

His life on the run is very interesting, from a technical perspective. From an action perspective, not much there. Something I found interesting was his wanted posters were on the set of Barney Miller for two seasons while he was working just a few miles from the studio. |

Sorry this is so late, should have posted it a couple of weeks ago. I gave a presentation in Nashville on finding information without FOIA and Dr. Ron is central to the speech.

Thanks for sharing and I'll definitely take a look when I can (i just woke up and today is football day but I will!). This may come in handy since I occasionally need to get information for the stories on this site.

I think Andrew Luster would have likely made the top ten list if he eluded capture for longer than he did.
