I'm not convinced this is Islamic terrorism either. However, I would be willing to bet that this is one of our own crazies who has a significant degree of sympathy with AQ. And given the video tape discovered recently that indicates their desire to pursue individual, residential terrorism, I think this will help the terrorists plan how they want to begin their new reign of terror. That's going to put all of us in danger.

I used to discredit the theory that the sniper drove a van. I didn't think this true because it would be very hard for a sniper to line up a good shot in this kind of vehicle. Now that they mention a broken tail light it may add some clues as to how he is able to make this sniper shot. Perhaps he has made a hole in the van (taillight area) for him to be able to lay down in the back floor to take a sniper shot?

i agree. if this is not Al-queda, they are certainly as able as anyone else, to see how we are responding to this form of terror. It very well could be that they will implement something similar if they are not responsible for this.
