This guy was way to methodical and cool to be a wacked out limo driver.

Why do you say he was "methodical and cool?" A report I read yesterday said he was having a heated argument with either the ticket agent or someone on the ticket counter line just before shots were fired. That's hardly something a "cool" professional would do. Also, a sleeper agent on assignment in the US would not make it known to his neighbors that the display of an American flag irritated him.

The more I hear about him, the more I think he was simply a nutcase, albeit perhaps one with strong pro-Arab views.

First rule of war is that the first reports of an attack are always wrong. Subsequent quotes from eye witnesses say the guy walked right up to the counter and started blasting point blank at the counter agent and then to the people waiting in line. He wasn't waving the guns around threatening people, he just calmly aimed and fired off single rounds into the people around him that looked jewish.

If not for the quick reactions of the El Al security and some civilian heros that tackled this well armed man, he would have kept reloading and firing until his ammo was gone.

This guy was a professional killer, but not an assassin. An assassin would have double tapped his victims.

The Egyptian's have already nabbed his family and they are probably in for some not so pleasant interrogations. Let's hope they get some facts before they get some torture induced phoney confessions. :(
