Before last night, there was a report of "Hispanic" suspects. Why is the media acting like they are surprised by some new [knew] information?

The first that I can find was posted on FreeRepublic on October 4, 2002.

The link below will take you to the original posting of this story:

Directly across from the Home Depot and Rt. 50 is a major crime-infested Hispanic enclave of slum apartments and numerous home improvement/landscape trucks parked all over the place. Perhaps theie was no "getaway" after all. If these apartments were in the "Peoples Republic of Arlington" the police would have to hold a public hearing before investigating the area. Has Fairfax County Police checked out each apartment?

Its funny but on the other thread I was saying it might be hispanic but was told that I was wrong on that count because everyone seems to be set on the swarth ME terrorist sniper. LOL - I guess I better stick with the ME type to be safe and not get flamed ;-)

Swarthy, Hispanic, ME, whatever Political Correctness and No Profiling is crippling the nation. It's time to get back to calling 'em like you see 'em or just throw up or hands and quit!

Actually Fox News had it up as an "Alert" this morning that based on Mondays witnesses that authorities were looking for "dark skinned male or males." The Pentagon is also reviewing satelite recordings of Middle Eastern terror training camps to see if this sniper fits any of their training scenarios. If the box truck found earlier this week is "the box truck" used early on, the fact that it had temporary tags leads me to think it may be terror related. It would be more like the truck was procured for a mission rather than some crazy who had access to a truck.

Hispanic terrorists would be the EL-Qaida rather than the AL-Qaida.

Hispanics named Abdul for instance?

This must be why I have seen the pictures of both a white Astrovan and a small cab delivery truck. I could never figure it out because that inept Chief Moose never explained it.

[PatrioticAmerican]

I thought they were "White Men"?

It could be illegal Hispanics but the odds don't favor it. Suppose it is a well organized terrorist attack? All of the killings have happened within a very sort drive to a mosque, some within walking distance. Why the attention to mosques? Because the Cleric lives near the mosque and so do some of the members, and they have garages to hide a van in. Suppose the close proximity to freeways is a misdirection, and they are not using the freeways at all, but driving a short distance to a safe house? This means a broad conspiracy involving many people in many areas who have pre-selected a location free of security cameras from which their sniper team can take their shot. The sniper team can be brazen even if the police are in the area because they know in the confusion they only have a short hop to their safe house where they can hold up until the dust has settled and they can drive home in their every day transportation. There have been many descriptions of the white truck, from box truck to Astro Van, with or without a ladder hookup in colors ranging from white to beige to cream. More misdirection. If a different make and model were reported at every killing then it would become obvious that there are many snipers or a well financed group so white vans are used, but they may not be the same white van. A well financed group can use a van once or twice then take it apart and dispose of it. Naturally the government would quitely get the military involved using drones, they already suspect that the freeways are a diversion and the sniper/snipers are not having to drive very far to hide out. I'm sure the government is hoping it is not what it looks to be because Americans are not prepared to accept the new "normal" of living with a bulls eye on their chests or between their eyes. If this is multiple snipers using safe houses in which many Mosques and it's members are involved it puts a whole new complextion on the future of Islam in this nation.

Of course it could be Hispanics or a lone right wing nut, but given the fact that we are engaged in a WOT and may be about to engage Iraq the odds are in favor of Middle Eastern terrorists and their support group.

Isn't Jose Padilla (a.k.a. John Doe #2) "hispanic" also?

Won't it be something if the witness Moose called a liar turns out to have been right (correctly or by accident).
