Superb analysis. It is more than likely Islamofascists. I don't know how many times I and others have posted that this was to be one of the aspects of terror al Qaida would bring to American shores--they've been training for this in Kandahar and elsewhere.

But WHEN will America wake up and connect the dots?

My prediction: A foreign news source rather than a US news source will be the first to start calling these actions what they truly are. Only because they are detached from it, can see all the implications, and further are not under the scrutiny of American media and police briefings steeped in political correctness and dancing around what the true nature of things are.

With all due respect, I think you're off-base here. I seriously doubt there's much in the way of PC here. They're in the middle of something bad and confusing, and the last thing they want to do is say the wrong thing, and to make things worse -- both for the people in the area, and also for the prospects of finding out who's committing these crimes.
