No, Al Qaeda has clearly taken credit for 9/11 and Bali.No they haven't. Others have put two and two together, but the closest that Al Qaeda has come to taking credit was OBL's "congratulatory" video back before he was transformed into so much pink vapor droplets last fall.

Oh good grief. Say it ain't so. A committee?
To: Peach
FYI re: the parking garage.
It's technically a parking garage, but I am told by a friend
who drove down to 'check out' the scene, that the garage
roof is about 30 or 40 feet high. Thus not as much protection
as one would suspect.
To: mewzilla
Ooops! I didn't put that the right way! I'M the one calling this a C.F., NOT the journo. Sorry, I didn't mean to put words in the reporter's mouth. The journo asked who was in charge of the investigation. I'm the one characterizing this investigation-by-committee as a CF.
To: Letitring
I just woke up from a nap to hear they are asking for Predator drones???
When were we invaded?
Lord help us..

Thus not as much protection as one would suspect. Sounds like more of a parking "deck" - pretty much as you find at many suburban malls. My question is whether or not the deck was open out toward US 50.

The ATF guy said the investigation was being run by committee, that no one agency needed to be in charge. Scary, huh?
To: DeaconBenjamin
There was a fight about the Saudi Government financed school/mosque site in Ashburn; but they won the right to build on the site. Fortunately the price of oil went down and the Saudi Govt. has put the project on hold.
BTW- One of the Saudi's land-use lawyers is going to run for Chairman of the Board of Supervisors next year. Bob Gordon is his name and he is no friend of Conservatives.
Hindsight being 20/20, I wonder if all the sheeple who fought so hard for this Saudi Govt. financed "Religion of Peace" center have reevaluated their actions post 9/11?
To: Dog
LOL. The committee got us. :)

confirms my thinking that MOOSE's "leadership" has always been token..
To: Dog

yes the parking garage is open towards route 50 and there are many pillars in the garage as well. i have yet to hear a definitive word on where the person supposedly saw the shooter exit the vehicle and take the shot.

$0.02 - including 'crypto-racist' discount
Do I get an extra discount. BTW, I have just returned from lunch and am putting on my mind-control helmet.
I see nude pictures of Brittany Spears...
To: eno_
That's how I look at it eno. The number of Sick People in the country that have the capability of murdering people in cold blood is quite low to begin with in a relative sense. Add another accomplice and the odds go geometric to an extremely remote possibility. So, if there are 2 or more Killers involved here I'd highly suspect that we are dealing with an AQ type terrorist ring.
