He sounds like a jihadist. They always put their death video out before they do themselves in.

A variety of studies of Islamic terrorists and suicide bombers has found that they're remarkably sane people.

Being one of a very suspicious mind, especially toward the MSM, I can’t help but wonder if the punk called NBC after the first murders....... and before the slaughter.

You nailed it. I just heard on Chris Matthews and they said that NBC negotiated with the FBI for copies before turning it over.

Of course, preserve their "exclusive" use of this footage/content. News is supposed to report news, not copyright events.

At the time it was received it’s not even clear the that anyone was aware of the dorm murders.

And news organizations get an immense amount of weird stuff sent to them. I interned at a small, obscure foreign policy journal for a summer and WE got plenty of weird unsolicited crap from nutballs - I can’t even image what a major network or newspaper gets.

There are so many lawsuits pending that John Edwards is contemplating dropping out of the 2008 election and setting up legal practice in Virginia. < /s >

Another Keith Olbermann fan.

Kieth Oberman is deeply saddened because he lost one of his two viewers.

Was the package really sent to NBC news, or MSNBC c/o Keith Oberman???

The people on this thread who did not read the entire article yet comment anyway are annoying the hell out of me. It was a physical package mailed in the two hour window between the killings and received only recently.

Interesting that he would pick NBC. You’d think a relatively computer savvy nut like Cho would just throw his mental diarrhea up on YouTube.

Dude, read the article.

He mailed it, and they received the package Wednesday.

The ramblings must need sanitizing because they don’t fit the lib agenda in some way.

I feel the same way. I wish he had a couple of weeks to listen to everyone.......before being locked in a closet with a single shot.

I'd like to release him in the middle of V-Tech, and let the football team do what they will with him.

Can we still do gibbets?

...Cho Seung-Hui sent NBC News a rambling communication and videos about his grievances, the network said Wednesday.

No doubt he was auditioning for a spot on MSNBC.

Sorry, I spilled koolaid and wasn't ready to post yet.

I agree. His preparing before hand and now sending a package to a news organization proves he was aware of the outcome facing him.

If he was so insane in school, why didn't they kick him out?

LOL...MSNBC is looking to “diversify” their host line-up in the wake of Imus’ nappy-headed blather. Too many graying white guys like Olberman and Matthews you know.

This is “Pearl Harbor” all over again. How may lives were lost on Dec 7, 1941 because a communications officer did not warn that Hawaii was about to become a target of attack until hours later.
