Really? Please remind me where it was they publicly admitted the attacks of September, 11.

OK, they didn't claim it immediately after 9/11, for tactical reasons, but they have since done so. I mean, they released taped messages to the media admitting it.

On the otherhand, I conceed that the fact that they haven't so far claimed it would therefore rule out it could be a terrorist operation.

I think the tapes you remember include the one found in Afghan caves after intense bombing. But even on that tape, Usama didn't admit to the deed. In subsequent interviews, I remember al-Qida members recounting how they listened to Usama predicting more plane crashes on that fateful day. But, officially, I cannot remember al-Quaida admitting culpability.

If these shootings are terror related, we can expect them to stop, with similar shootings to begin in another city with long lines of sight and with substantial tree cover.

it took time for them to admit that act, as it is still too early to admit this act if it is them. if i were a terror group, i wouldnt admit it. why would i, then have them come down hard on me before more acts are committed. think about it, silince response is this shooters best ally. he knows what he is doing.
