As eyewitness accounts emerged yesterday describing the Beltway sniper as Mid-Eastern in appearance, Homeland Security Czar Tom Ridge revealed that the White House suspects the deadly attacks could be part of the recent wave of global terrorism.

Eh? Domestic terrorism, maybe. Al Qaeda, I'd have to doubt.
I don't think he's gonna end up being Mid-Eastern either. And I also think he'll be caught this week. He's basically throwing himself out there now, what with the jumping out of his van to take the shot at that unfortunate FBI worker.

Hopefully, he won't have to stand trial, and will be "shot attempting to escape" rather than arrested.

Al Qaeda, I'd have to doubt.

From the Al Qa'eda Training Manual:

Missions Required of the Military Organization:

***********

3. Assassinating enemy personnel as well as foreign tourists. [Emphasis added.]

I wouldn't so quickly rule it out.
