What was the media source that reported the news leak? I'd like to write a letter to them, explaining what giant heaps of human refuse they are. Not much better than the "sniper", in my opinion.

Channel 9 something local to that area.

Supposedly channel 9 contacted Moose and said that unless he gave them a good reason for not going with the story, that they were going to go with it. Again, supposedly they tried a couple of times to get a reason from him, as to why they should not run it. They heard nothing back and so they ran it.

Nice huh? I don't suppose it occured to them that he might be a bit busy!

There was also a handwritten request that the note not be revealed to the media...

I must have missed this - are they implying that the killer left a handwritten request?

It's been all over the networks for 36 hours. Take your pick.

Report: Sniper Left Tarot Card, Message for Police at Last Shooting

This is the first post on it I believe.

WUSA-TV 9 News in Washington, D.C. reported in its 11 p.m. broadcast that police found a tarot card and a note to police at the scene of yesterday's sniper shooting of a 13 year old boy at Tasker Middle School in Bowie, Md.

The tarot card was the 'Death' card. The message said, 'Dear policemen, I am God."

I think that the request to not tell the media was just another way of mocking. He wants the investigators to feel that he has more control than they do.

He's vulnerable, though. His need for being perceived as being in control is his weak point. It will get him caught.

The tarot card, experts say, bears a striking similarity to the ace-of-spades death cards American soldiers sometimes left on the bodies of slain Viet Cong.

Gee, what incredible insight these morons have. From this I information I can guess that the sniper is a member of the WWII First Special Services Force which left calling cards on the bodies of slain Germans that said "DAS DICKE ENDE COMMT NOCH"; "the worst is yet to come". That would make the sniper about 80 years old.
