The news department at radio station WTMJ in Milwaukee also reported that

a vice-president with Bargain Suppliers, the parent company of the

Discount Mats web site, had confirmed that the e-mail in question was sent

and that "the employee who sent it is being held accountable and will be

dealt with."

The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel also reported that:

Bargain Suppliers of West Allis said its discount-mats.com Web site had to

be taken down to address the thousands of e-mails it's received since news

of the exchange — in which an employee voiced opposition to the war in

Iraq — began circulating on the Internet.

Vice president Sajid Nasir said the employee is being "held accountable."

But he said the incendiary and threatening nature of some of the e-mails —

and voicemails left at the West Allis home that co-owner Faisal Khetani

shares with his parents — have shaken the family.

"It's really getting out of control," said Nasir, who described the

messages as "angry and vulgar."

"Our main concern is for the safety of the family. That's more important

than the business," he said.
