You both are incredible..i hadn't considered that..Thanks for explaining. My fear was after reading the post I was replying to..was that if it is a practice run..what next and when? But it also seems like osama's terrorists are into BIG distruction. This seems small..one bullet, one victim at a time. Doesn't seem to fit the profile of osama's terrorists.

Kim, an earlier post to me from you reply. Yes, it is a "terrorist" crime, but is it foreign or homegrown?

St. Michael, is also the "Patron Saint of Paratroopers". I bought a beautiful medal, that I wear, at the Army BX a few months ago.

How about posting National Guardsmen in blinds in every mall parking lot?

I disagree. I think that Osama's group is in such disarray that big attacks in the US are difficult to pull off. Little attacks and minor disruptions by individuals or small groups are being carried out on a constant basis. I think that is what we saw on the airlined on 9/11 and on the Florida freeway. These guys had no intention of really harming anyone, they just wanted to terrorize.

These attacks in Md are going a few steps further. It may not be Muslims, but it is sure some kind of terrorist.

"Doesn't seem to fit the profile of osama's terrorists." ,P> It does fit their 'terrorist handbook' however. . .and very specifically. . .
