Learn how to be a sniper. I say an intelligent person could pick up a lot just from these sniper books and videos. Would not even have to be trained much.

Just out of curiousity I'm going to monitor the hits on my firewall after going to that site!

Learn how to be a sniper.

It seems logical to me that if these guys spent years learning how to do their deeds of 9-11, they could have also spent time learning to shoot. There could be other cells in other cities ready to do the same thing.

One could learn a lot from books I suppose, but shooting a rifle is a lot like learning a golf swing. (The operational aspects of sniping are something I know NOTHING about.) There are some who do it well, some who only know what they've read somewhere, and all the rest of us are just hackers after years of practice.

Hitting a target the size of a small plate at 150 yards is not easy for a "hacker", and add to that the stress that must surely (I wouldn't know it from experience, to tell the truth) exist when shooting something besides paper, and you're outside the 1st deviation.
