They're going to constantly downplay the middle east angle until it is conclusive (by capture or kill). That is because they are greatly concerned about the public reaction to the news around the country (which could be severe).

WHEREAS if it is a white male they will just go ahead and confiscate all the guns of law-abiding Americans. Not a harmful reaction to the gun=grabbers! i can bet the gun-grabbers are rooting for it being a 'domestic terrorist'. no, i dont have to bet, the antigun ads are out, and capitol hill is already restless.
