Agree with you that the news cycle is slower on the weekends, but I still think there is more to not seeing anything this weekend. The news may be conventionally slower, but the law enforcement was certainly out in fast paced action this past weekend in the D.C. metro area! They were all out and visible--They were not slacking in any means (in what all of us here could see!) I think the police were expecting something this past weekend. While the media cycle is slower, and they might want a time with more coverage, I wonder if not shooting this past weekend--with all the taunting they were given this past Friday, was to show their discipline. In a way, they would have used the media to their benefit STILL. They proved no one was controling what they were doing--They were going to do just what they wanted to do. After this weekend, I more lean towards organized foundations to this stuff. They are NOT controled by media. They are USING the media coverage. They are not contolled by it though. (Just my thoughts here!)

The "organized foundations" you mention seem more like the work of a state-intelligence agency than AQ. Might this be an "Iraqi pre-emptive strike?"

Reaffic is too light on the weekends. This might change when the holiday shoping season gets here if this is still going on. Either that or these guys are using the company truck for tranport and do not work on the weekend.

The shooting in Baltimore Saturday morning and later arrest may have thrown a monkeywrench into the shooters' immediate plans.
