Lawyers Say Police Confused Bomb Suspect's 'Doodle' With Nazi Symbol Lawyers for Aaron Greene, the man charged with keeping an explosive chemical in his Greenwich Village apartment, criticized investigators on Friday for linking what they said was a "mere doodle" by their client to a Nazi symbol. Mr. Greene had relatives who perished in the Holocaust, according to a statement released by his lawyers, Charles E. Clayman and Isabelle Kirshner. "We are surprised and dismayed that rather than conducting a complete investigation and then turning over the results to the district attorney, the police have chosen to leak innuendos, half-truths and slurs," the lawyers wrote. The statement came after police investigators discovered an undated letter, which they believe was written by Mr. Greene and included "kill them all" and, repeatedly, "kill." Police officials said Mr. Greene had signed the letter with a lightning-bolt symbol associated with the SS, the Nazi special police. Last month, Mr. Greene, 31, and his girlfriend, Morgan Gliedman, 27, were arrested after investigators received a tip about guns and explosives inside the apartment they shared on West Ninth Street. During a search, investigators found seven grams of a chemical explosive - hexamethylene triperoxide diamine, or HMTD - and two shotguns, ammunition and guides for making weapons, the police said. On Wednesday, Paul J. Browne, the Police Department's chief spokesman, revealed that acquaintances of Mr. Greene had told investigators that he talked of "making bombs," with which he planned to "blow up" Washington Arch at Washington Square Park. Those acquaintances, according to investigators, also said they saw Mr. Greene set off a small explosion inside the park in late fall. "His possession of HMTD, a highly unstable explosive - combined with the discovery of other weapons, manuals on making booby traps and also correspondence that suggests a neo-Nazi affinity - caused us to be concerned about whatever aspirations he may have had," Mr. Browne said on Wednesday. Mr. Clayman and Ms. Kirshner said they believed that investigators had recklessly misconstrued a scribble by Mr. Greene. "To state that the young man is a neo-Nazi when this is a man who comes from a family devastated by the Holocaust, based upon a mere doodle, is more than unfair, it is unforgivable," the lawyers said in their statement. Mr. Greene's father, Jeffrey Greene, an artwork preservationist based in Manhattan, lost several relatives in the Holocaust, the lawyers said. "All Jeffrey Greene's great-aunts, great-uncles and cousins" in Minsk, Poland, were "sent to the death camps," Mr. Clayman wrote in an e-mail on Friday. Police investigators have described Mr. Greene and Ms. Gliedman, who each face weapons charges, as "admitted heroin addicts." "This case is a tragedy," the lawyers wrote. Aaron comes from a caring, loving family. Unfortunately, this is another example of the pain and destruction of drug addiction.
