Any connection to this guy who wanted to legally change his name to God but settled for
"I am who I am" instead?

Terrorists ARE nutball wackjobs! Can't rule out the religion of peace yet...

I was at the University of Maryland at College Park tonight meeting with the College Republicans. I wasn't scared, in fact I had to remind myself a few times that "he" could be out there.

If the evidence is prima facie then most likely some young punk who got everything he wanted and decided he was the best thing in the world.

I really need to see that movie!
I'm not sure of this one either. I'll keep my tinfoil terrorist hat firmly in place for now.

'Dear policemen, I am God' = 19 letters. Oh oh! Better as Louis Farakahn about this.

"Copy Cat, "
Query? How does one go about copying the rifling of the gun barrel?

"found a tarot card"
"Miss Cleo, you of *course* know why I am here.
Can you account for you whereabouts yesterday"?

Well, if it is a nutcase, then it now seems he is looking to get caught or killed, and as crazies do, he will get worse crazy, and give himself away soon enough.

It is purely a nutball wackjob.A Ted Kasczinski-type psychotic. Kasczinski also left calling cards. Just smart and careful enough to carry out his insane attacks to keep from getting easily caught.

"Sorry, but this doesn't fit the profile of this killer. I think some people have been duped by a hoaxer."
I've got to admit that as I sit here thinking about this, it does not seem quite believable. It doesn't really sound like the silent methodical killer we've followed for the last several days. Hope it's true - hope it's him - because if it is he just made his first mistake.

Yeah, but does that thought pattern really fit a ME man's? A tarot card would be a strange way for them to send a message, especially if there was any pretense of serving Allah. Same thing with claiming to be God. Yeah, some could claim its just a good cover, ala Taquiyya, but I don't buy that.
I'll stand my previous post, this pretty much rules out a foreign born terrorist. Whoever it is, is an American by birth, and really starting to fit the profile of a Hannibal Lechter(sp) nutjob.
To: Route66
Please Note: Although the Tarot was originally used to play a card game and the structure of the Minor arcana resembles modern playing cards, they are in fact two separate things. The cards from which modern playing cards are derived appeared in Europe some fifty years prior to the Tarot and are said to have originated from Islam.
To: Diddle E. Squat
OK, that about rules out the terrorist angle. It is purely a nutball wackjob. If this is true, I would agree. I don't think the terrorists are into western style serial killer mind games --- 'here I am, come get me'. Also, I understand that a .223 shell casing was found near one of the sniper scenes. A terrorist could have left it behind in carelessness. A whackjob could have left it behind as a teaser. Im open on this one. But either way, the perp has to be expunged from the planet.
To: Kevin Curry
Yep. Though perhaps the hoax angle might be worth considering, depending on the timeline(I haven't yet read the details).
