Fox is going back and forth. I think there's a volume of e-mail aimed at them and they are reacting. Blam has several links from here and FR that says the sheriff in Marion, FBI and ATF investigated and determined it was a legit shooting op. The sheriff was upset about shooting at buses and police cars, but the shooters were just other cops and rednecks blasting away. Any al qs attending were just paying customers. Some were sent by al qs ads in England. That was discovered after 911, but I've seen articles of the al q camp from '99.
There's a town up here with a sign on a car outside a bar that says, "HELP SUPPORT JOHN"S KIDS, 5 SHOTS FOR A BUCK". John wouldn't know an al q from Adam. All he knows is what a buck looks like.
