[Diddle E. Squat]

If this were the work of Al Qaeda, instead of dozens of fires set over 3 days, we'd have seen hundreds of fires set almost simultaneously. This isn't Al Qaeda, unless by the end of the day all of the roads out of the LA/SD area are cutoff by fire(setting the stage for a worse incident).

No, more likely it is:

1) Organized eco/anarchyterrorists
2) A lone eco/anarchy nutball
3) Copycat punk kids
4) Copycat nutball pyromaniac middle age loser(s)

One or a combo of the latter two is most likely, though its too early to rule out the first two.

Is that Green Party Pro Pali nutball still on the loose? The one who the FBI is looking for after unbolting power towers?

Note the north-south progression of the power tower sabotage, then LA and San Bern. counties, then SD county.

Could be one guy, or ELF copy cats, or a coordinated attack, based on the forecast Santa Ana winds.
