PHILADELPHIA - A man who mailed a bomb to a doctor because he was angry about how his penis enlargement surgery turned out was sentenced Tuesday to four years and 10 months in prison.
Blake Steidler, 25, of Reamstown, put the bomb in the mail on Feb. 11, 2005, in North Bloomfield, Ohio, addressed to the doctor in Chicago. After returning home, he called 911 and told police what he had done. The bomb was retrieved from the mail and destroyed; no one was injured.
Steidler pleaded guilty in April to use of a weapon of mass destruction and other charges. Defense lawyer Luis A. Ortiz said at the time of the plea that his client was mentally ill.
In addition to the prison term, Steidler was sentenced to five years supervised release, and a $2,000 fine.

I think that sentence was a little "too stiff". Where does the prosecution "get off" with such accusations. Clearly this has been "blown out of proportion". This sounds like a set up by Saddam Hussein. He's the one who put the WMD in the mailbox.
Geez, it's kinda obvious don't you think?
