The Psycho Sniper says he wants blood money to end his terrifying murder spree - and he's opened a dialogue with cops to negotiate the payout.
The Beltway sharpshooter made his demand in a three-page note found after his latest attack, on Saturday night, federal law-enforcement sources told The Post.

Furthermore, why would any law enforcement official release this much detailed information so early in this particular shootings investigation?
I could be wrong, but something doesnt smell right here.
How do you know they haven't?
It reminds me of the movie Die Hard. They pretended to be terrorists but that was only to cover a huge, well planned heist. Money was the real motive in the end.
I hear you, but from the article:
The handwriting and some of the wording in the letter matches that of the "Dear Policeman, I am God" note scrawled on a tarot death card left at the scene of an earlier sniper strike, sources said.
I don't know how much they could rely on "wording" from a five word message but if the handwriting is the same... I think this killer would have to be profoundly stupid to do this (leave two samples of his own handwriting for police to find and to think he could get away with a money handover). If he's that stupid, how does he always get away? Maybe he's just lucky and stupid.
Bumper stickers that automatically portray you as an honest, law abiding, rock solid American? Just think how frustrating this must be for liberals?
None of us can know for sure, but I think this is just a ruse designed to cover up what is really happening.
FWIW, I still think these murders are related to ME terrorism. My best guess is that we have begun to meet the cell's demands by releasing a few prisoners at Gitmo, and that the ultimate aim of the cell's demand is the release of Rahman's son. The government and the terrorists are still negotiating--with the government beginning to meet the demands in small steps in hopes of buying time to track these guys down.
This ransom angle and the "arrests" yesterday are simply a cover story designed for public consumption to keep the media focus off of the real investigation and to hide the fact that we are slowly capitulating to the terrorists' demands. This ransom thing is a bunch of manufactured crap, IMO.
These stickers were probably given to them by the same guys that sold them their phoney IDs. It's urban camouflage for illegal aliens.
This is probably very "sharp-shooting" for the French army, though. That would explain a lot.
Scuzzy enough to release information that the cops asked them not to release.
I was impressed with the guy on MSNBC yesterday afternoon. (I don't know his name.) He had a paper in his hand, and he was reading an update. He stopped, thought a second or two, and said he didn't think it would be a good idea to broadcast that information. He handed the paper to someone and said to let him know when it was OK to let that information out.
I was surprised. They need to keep their yaps shut more often--especially in regards to national security.
Yipes!
Absolutely. Jump from the frying pan into the fire. Instead of Inspector Cleasou and the Keystone Cops we will be blessed with the antics of F Troop.
Priority one of the F Troopians will be to find Lee Harvey Oswald even if they have to invent him.
There is no substitute for Sovereign Citizens mentally conditioned with "tactical awareness" and armed to respond immediately with a defensive sidearm.
The citizens of this Republic have grown fat and flabby with the sucess of the Post WWII economy and this type of maniac is the sad result.
Best regards,
The problem seems more to be that there's a certain, rather large percentage of Muslims that hate everybody else in the whole world and the rest of the Muslim community covers for them.
Our government has issued over 300,000 deportation orders for Muslims for a variety of reasons. Many of them for known terrorist group affiliations.
Have you heard of anyone from the Muslim community turning any of these criminals in?
