Area fire is great, & definitley has its place, but we still need to teach the boys to shoot straight.

Rule #1: Hits Count!

Nothing crossing the local news between 4:00 and 5:00 PM CDT here in the midwest. Can we confirm the source of the latest sniper type shootings today?

If bona fide, it seems the media is holding tight. Does the arrests of Al Quida (sp?) cells today signal that the remaining cells may be surfacing and carrying out independant or preplanned actions? Still appears to be limited to the MD/VA area. Any other "sniper" type events elsewhere in the country.

Lastly be careful with any garbage being spewed from CNN. It's quite likely some bullet fragments may be similar to a .223.5.56mm. That still does not rule out a .222, .224 Weatherby magnum, .218 BEE and a host of high velocity .22 caliber centerfire cartriges.

Boldly claiming it's a .223/5.56 NATO -without- the possesion of a -cartridge case- is wild speculation.

Leave it to CNN to fabricate news during an important event.

Bet you'll never find out their "source" of the .223 claim!

I agree, and we should be teaching them way before they enter the service.
