NO matter what the "experts" theories are, I get the feeling they are stumped by this one.

Flipping around the TV dial looking for the VA press conference on the shooting in Spotsylvania, I came across a CNN show (Fox had a financial show on) called Saturday Edition.

Guess what?: the host and all the reporters are women. They're all sitting around in comfy chairs. I'm expecting someone to break out the Tupperware at any moment.

What can justify an all-female news show? What would happen if a network made a decision to intentionally exclude women from a news show and have a men-only show?

The anthrax attacks "were driven by the desire to terrorize the community, and the person who mailed the letters didn't appear to really care about who died as a result of them."

"I don't recall a case like this where the murders have been committed at such a distance," Mr. Ewing said. "It is so impersonal."

Well we know who the culprit is then. Have they checked whether Steven Hatfill owns a white van?

Last nite on either fox or msn they were asking this proffesor from a north east college what type of people would do this kind of thing , and he gave all kinds of reasons including because the economy was in bad shape. I almost sh!t my pants...Now I hope when they catch this guy and ask him why the hell he is doing this I hope he says it is because taxes are to high or because of affirmitive action...Anyway just another liberal egg head trying to get a liberal thinking cheap shot in.

The police were all excercised yesterday looking for a white van. The shooter has been able to elude police now after 10 shootings. It's more likely the shooter is two people - one serving as a lookout. It may be that the while the shooter aquires a target, the accomplice keeps a lookout for approaching observers and a white truck in the vacinity of the target.

At the proper time, after a white truck has passed, the shooter can take his victim. All eyes notice the white truck leaving the vacinity of the shooting. Heck, the shooters could leave the area in a red Dodge Viper and drive right past police blockades.

At any rate, it seems folly to think that a shooter(s?), who have successfully eluded capture for two weeks, are still tooling around in the exact vehicle the police are seeking.

How long until the shooter sticks around and takes a member of the first responding EMT's on the scene? How long until the shooter takes a reporter, live on TV? How long until the shooter takes a spokesman during one of the staged press events?

Charles Patrick Ewing, a professor of law and psychology at State University of New York at Buffalo, said the sniper, who has used a rifle at distances of more than 100 yards, appears to be more like the anonymous attacker who mailed last year's anthrax-laced letters. The anthrax attacks "were driven by the desire to terrorize the community, and the person who mailed the letters didn't appear to really care about who died as a result of them."

If the Great Satan is right about the anthrax being a threat to our leaders, the shootings may be the same. And Saddam Hussein may be behind both.

With no more information then we have at this time, my opinion is just as valid as anyones, so here goes.

I believe this is a sleeper cell that has been activated.I believe there are at least two in what ever vehicle they are using, with possibility of others in covering positions around them.

I believe they will continue to kill until caught, at which time they will be killed in a major gun battle.

I am hoping the authorities are publicly treating this as a criminal act while privately treating it as a war.

I believe that there have been several acts of terrorism already committed against us, but because the government is not ready to act yet, they have been covered up as unconnected acts of violence.

The terrorist have gone along with this game by not publicly proclaiming responsibility, possibly because they know the government knows, and they know that the American people will demand vengence when the truth come out.

I think that is what I said last week, whether the perp is a Muslim or not, he is a terrorist. This is terrorism.

"Those comparisons are completely inappropriate," he said. "The reason why everybody is making those comparisons is because they are all talking to the retired profilers who made those kinds of cases in the 1970s."

I have a nagging suspicion the FBI is still profiling from the 1970's too. Hope I'm wrong.

There are some folks who just can't handle the anything-goes-as-long-as-no-harm-is-done approach. The only way to disagee left is to do harm.

The sniper could be your typical White Anglo male in his 30s or 40s.

But will anybody on this board be drop-dead astounded if it turns out the shooter Abdullah and his driver/spotter Mohammed are Saudis or U.S.-born, U.S. citizens from Elizabeth, New Jersey or Dearborn, Michigan that trained in Afghanistan a couple of years ago?

Since 9-11, I don't believe in coincidences. If something bad happens, I assume the Islamists are behind it until it's proven otherwise. They don't deserve the benefit of the doubt.

Enjoy your weekend. The safest places in Washington, DC and Maryland are rifle ranges.
