I'm sure we aren't being told everything. Question for all: How is it that a surveillance videotape would capture the truck featured in the graphic if, as we've been told, the shootings take place from 150 yards or more away? Do videotapes really capture pictures from that far away?

I have said that I think the Feds may have preempted a parallel attack when the got the Buffalo area and Portland cells. Just found this http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/768234/posts from the NYP:

October 13, 2002 -- Federal prosecutors found Islamic books and Internet printouts - including one titled "How Do I Train Myself for Jihad?" - in the apartment of a suspected member of a Oregon terrorist cell.

The suspect, Jeffrey Leon Battle, also considered attacking synagogues or schools, the prosecutors said.

The books and printouts were found in the Portland apartment that Battle shared with his ex-wife October Martinique Lewis. They are among six people indicted Oct. 4 for trying to go to Afghanistan and join al Qaeda after the Sept. 11 attacks.

I also suspect this may be why we got the warning that schools might be attacked.

They do if the camera is set up for that distance, the question I would ask is why would the camera be set up for that distance.
