one could simply take a spent .223 from the shooting range, or AR practice the proceeding week, and then drop it on the site... voila... a fake "fingerprint" for a gun that in the mind of some, implicates a crazed white guy, or professional military folks...

It's commonly called 'misdirection' and used to throw off ballistics and profilers... and it is something we should EXPECT from terrorist cells. False evidence, misdirection... and perhaps dozens of stolen "white vans" of various makes and models...

working the sites before during and after a hit... meanwhile the shooter swaps vehicles and gets away in a silver 97 jeep cherokee... or similar.

If we have a cell in operation... they are playing cat and mouse. If we have a single shooter... he's pretty sharp.

It's hard just to evade ONE cop, once they get you with the radar gun...

False evidence is pretty common for PREMEDITATED attacks. The perp is planning a evidenciary "escape route" as well as a logistical one for exiting the scene... it would be consistent with a planned operation. This guy is not leaving anything at the site, we know of, accidently.

He has helpers. He has a plan. He is executing his plan thus far flawlessly... and the scenario matches operational plans on the al qaida tapes that have been released for review... Really makes it look like it's a cell.

They are not coming out and saying it because they cannot PROVE it is yet. Some folks think that speculating this is a cell is reckless and are addicted to the "crazed postal worker" scenario... I will be surprised if it is a person who went "postal"... too much planning and seeming coordination with unseen "helpers"...

I have an opinion... it's a cell. the spent casing... a plant... the feds, the secret service, the massive manpower.. tells us, THEY think it probably is too.

Be well, stay safe... and keep moving...

.. and the scenario matches operational plans on the al qaida tapes that have been released for review.

The MO also fits OBL's plans to hit financial arteries.

From the WTC, to this, to Bali, to the attacks on the airlines (mostly covered up, it seems)
OBL planned these as an economist and engineer.

Therefore, this smells like al Qaeda's cells and operatives.

I agree, they aren't saying it, as it would panic the whole country!
