If for example the email was direct to whomever is in charge of their general PR, or if the email was directed to one of the heads of the institute.<BR/>It seems like it wasn't directed at one of the heads though given the description of the email being directed at an employee. We also don't know what else was in the emails that could make it seem like a threat to the DI as a whole. <BR/><BR/>Also, given the wording of the police report whomever the email was direct to, it was presumably not the person who made the phone call, and is described as a "VP." According to http://www.discovery.org/fellows/<BR/>the DI has only a single VP and that is Steven Buri. I've never heard of him before. A quick google search suggests he might be more involved in the non-ID end of the DI. (Note to police: when redacting documents, don't redact a name and assume that that will guarantee anonymity) <BR/><BR/>Also, April 4th was a Saturday, so they contacted the police after one business day or possibly even on Monday if the cop took time to file the report. We don't know if the email was even seen over the weekend or if someone came into their office on Monday and saw it then. <BR/><BR/>Without more information, it is hard to see how much the delay was to due to PR management. However, given the facts it isn't implausible that the DI did not substantially delay going to the police.Joshuahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00637936588223855248noreply@blogger.com
