“Akeem Ramsel El” appears at very least to be a Nation of Islam member — and by the signoff of his letter, it also appears that he had jihad on his mind when he wrote to McCain.
“Exclusive: Man Who Wrote McCain Letter Explains Actions,” from The Denver Channel (ABC7News), August 22 (thanks to Paul):
LITTLETON, Colo. — The man accused of sending a threatening letter to John McCain through McCain’s Colorado headquarters office detailed the contents of his letter in an exclusive interview with 7NEWS Friday.
Marc Ramsey, an inmate in the Arapahoe County Jail, admitted that he sent the letter.
On Friday afternoon, the US Attorney Troy Eid announced Ramsey will be charged with knowingly threatening to harm or kill through the U.S. mail. The charge is punishable up to five years in federal prison and up to $250,000 fines.

Ramsey said he didn’t put white powder in the envelope. When asked, the only white powder he could think of that is available to inmates is baby powder.
His exact letter read:

Unless of course you can’t or don’t breathe.
There are numerous substances which are deadly for humans to inhale.
There are just as many time periods for signs of illness to show, by which time it’s to late.
Who expects to develop cancer 40 years after Vietnam?
Only those that knew the risk and side effects of Agent Orange.
DoD, DOW, Diamond Shamrock, U.S. Surgeon General
You’re out of time.
Allahu AkbarAkeem Ramsel El
