Because they know that the American people would actually revolt!
I'm actually shocked that we haven't had a Muslim sniper in every major city in the country. Maybe its because unless you were near here during the snipings, you didn't see the actual terror that was going on... And I'm in Pennsylvania!
Baltimore was sketchy here for a while during this.
Who knows.
Charles Bishop/Bishra stole a plane and crashed it into a bank and the authorities tried to tell us he was a conservative teen who went crazy from pimple cream. His suicide note praised Bin Laden for the 9-11 attacks, mentioned meeting some other jihadists although he didn't join, and contained a threat against the Superbowl that was stolen from Black Sunday.
The DC Sniper Duo are known to have killed at least one man in the South in preparation for the attacks. How many other regional murders are the world of serial killers who have left the area?
There was a note in this case that the police seemed hesitant to release at first (again with the clear claim of muslim ties).
We've seen a number of very STRANGE cases (especially with bombs) that have gone "unsolved" (the Oklahoma kid at the college game, the pizza delivery guy who robbed a band with a bomb around his neck and died when it wasn't removed before it went off...). Who knows anymore.
It is CLEAR that the authorities don't want to release such details. Wouldn't want to cause a panic. Wouldn't want to stir up vigilantism (which I never support). But the public has a right to know if holy war is being waged within the US and citizens are being killed by insurgents in the continental US.
