"What's your take on the tarot card? That's what changed my mind to domestic."

Peach:

Let's see if I can change your mind again. The various stories that came out the Vietnam war was some of our guys would leave a calling card on a VC such as an Ace of Spades. We were foreigners in their land and to have such an item left in place was to send chills (terror?) to the other VC's.

Now apply this to the current situation where as the general public has seen this type of activity in movies and other fictional venues, yet now it is not fiction.

The Tarot card in my opinon, would have been better used if the handwriting had been left off. The wording tends to point towards someone translating or is using Engish as a second language.

I say it's kids(17-22) who read a story about the tarot card being left by snipers and they combined that with thier terror.
I just read this story on a airsoft(play malitia weapon) site and it was posted in late Aug.

I thought the wording was odd, too, but many people have said that it refers to a video game where a similar phrase appears.

BTW, what's the source of your screen name? (I'm a Spanish translator.)

I'd read that some of our guys left a playing card when they had a good hit. My read then on the tarot card would be to encourage speculation it's NOT AQ. And it worked. I go back and forth but considering AQ trained to take down golfers on golf courses, this isn't out of the realm of imagination.

Agreed. The "Dear Policeman" part sounds a bit stilted to me.
