Everybody I know already thinks it's terrorist, the government way underestimates its citizens. Idiots!

But he elected not to release the information, explaining it might "paint some group."

And while this incompetent bozo protects the guilty, innocent Americans are shot down like dogs in the street.

WASHINGTON – Several witnesses to the Beltway sniper shootings over the past two weeks have described suspects resembling Middle-Eastern men, but authorities have played down the Islamic terrorism angle to avoid mass "panic" in the area, an ATF official told WorldNetDaily.

The chickens are continuing to come home to roost with our open borders, anything goes immigration policy. I'd like our political leaders to explain to us why America still allows immigration from terrorist harboring nations, why our borders are not protected, why our immigration laws are purposely not enforced.

told authorities they saw a sniper taking aim and shooting from outside the reported getaway van, WorldNetDaily has learned.

These were both nighttime affairs, so less need for concealment, as long as one wasn't in a directly lighted area, and no one was all that close, they might see you, but would probably not be able to ID you.

This story infuriates me.

We are not stupid, Uncle Sam.

Why in the hell is it OK to profile 'white males' but not ME terrorists?

Who is paying the taxes, g-ddammit? Who is electing this 'representative' government?

We deserve to hear the truth, or you do not deserve to be our government, PERIOD.

The Bush administration fears parents might pull their children from schools

President Bush: Super Genius.

There are people being gunned down in the streets. But if we tell you how to best protect yourselves and what you should look for, you might take your kids out of school (where they can be easily targetted by whackjobs with rifles). And furthermore, children deserve an education and Ted Kennedy might get mad if the new legislation I allowed him to write didn't propogate to the childrun of Amerka.

Every commentator I've heard on the news keeps repeating that "if it was terrorism, then the perpertrators would take credit." I can't believe that they expect people to buy that. It seems so forced that I have to assume that behind the scenes, they (law enforcement and the media) know or strongly suspect that it is a terror cell at work here and they are trying very hard to keep the level of panic down. The anti-self defense proponents, who have a lot of sympathy in the media, are beating this to death as well, which would be less credible if it was a terror cell that is responsible.

The Bush administration fears parents might pull their children from schools if police speculate about a terrorist connection, he says. And federal employees might skip work, effectively shutting down the government.

If true, this is a sad indictment on Bush. On domestic matters this president really needs to grow a pair. Perhaps he is not pleased with the results of our ever greater experiment in "diversity".

I'm glad "they" have decided that we the public cannot handle
the truth that this may be M.E. terrorism at play here. My question is: What is "their" plan to out-smart these pukes?
I've had enough of their press conferences showing that damned
"astro-van" How about you?

FBI agents are upset Moose is still running the investigation, and think the FBI should take over.

I would rather an incompetent Moose run it, than an incompetent FBI.

The blunt truth is, if the suspect were fair-skinned and of apparent European ethnicity, a police sketch would have been made widely available days ago.

I have a theory about the sketch of the shooter/s. First, why is it taking so long? It seems Moose has been promising it for days, yet surely if the public's help is wanted, they'd get the sketch out ASAP, like they've done in every case – cases of lesser magnitude – I can recall. I mean, that's always a top priority, is't it?

Now… I think the preponderance of eyewitness descriptions is pointing to a "swarthy"- or "olive-skinned"-type male, or males. And I think Chief Moose is stalling on releasing the composite drawing because “he” (people telling him what to say) is afraid that everyone with a gun is going to target ME-appearing people. I think that they're hoping they'll capture the killer before public demands sketch, and that once perp is in custody, there won't be as much revenge taken.

They're playing both ends agains the middle, though.

Why can't the FBI maintain a parallel investigation and show up the Moose? It might be a great chance for us disallusioned public, burned out by 8 years of Clinton goons, to finally gain some needed respect back for the fibbies.

No killers?... Moose's case.

FBI finds the killers? FBI marches to the rescue.

FBI: Since it looks like a team of terrorists working together to elude capture, you might try this...

If there is a next time, try shutting down all cell phones in a wide area (except for law enforcement) ASAP after a shot rings out.
The sniper(s) and accomplice(s) are probably communicating during their getaway.

By the way, what's FEMA up to?

"He called Moose's performance so far "disquieting." "

I'm sure glad Portland got rid of this bigoted idiot. When he first moved here the Real Estate people got his number. He is a bigoted P.C. A**hole.

It's unlikely the administration will authorize National Guardsmen to help with roadblocks and other aspects of the investigation, because that would "tip the hand" that it's terrorism and spook citizens, the ATF official confided.

So, to avoid tipping off the public that it's terrorism, the government is still avoiding a tactic that could save lives.

That said, the task force won't likely release a composite sketch of suspects – alternately described by witnesses, law-enforcement lookouts and police-scanner chatter as "Hispanic," "Middle-Eastern," "olive-skinned" and "dark-skinned" – until all other suspects are ruled out.

yup. gotta prove it isn't a bunch of cracker rednecks first. dying for diversity – next time on oprah.

diversity is racism in drag

Sure, let's keep worshiping at the altar of political correctness...
After all, the price is only another life now and then... no biggie.

We can join the other well-known historical savages on the continent with our peculiar version of human sacrifice.

Mustn't "paint" any group. Even if they are hiding in the paint barrel.
We have become a nation of idiots.
