they don't have to go out in a blaze of bullets to spring a trap...Of course they don't; it was one theory of many we all have of how they might get taken out. What's your point?

It was interesting that Arab world's "political cartoon" of the Tarot card said "authority" at the bottom..especially that this is similar to what occurs in Israel on an almost daily basis.
It "seemed" like positive feedback to the sniper's Tarot card and would be available to the sniper on National News. That would make the Tarot card a message to them not us.

A link was posted - approx. #10 - shootings in Rhode Island - no one hit - could be copycat. Police don't know.

LINK HEREArticle that reminds us tapes confiscated in Afghanistan found AQ trained for drive by shootings, home invasions and killing golfers (unlikely though that sounds).

Wonder if the Democrats have gotten the shooter and his dummy registered to vote in the upcoming election yet?

WHICH ONE DOES NOT FIT?
-- 5:20 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 2: Windows shot at Maryland craft store. No one hurt.
This opening act bothers me:
A messege?
A miss?
Something is not right here...

I re-read what I replied to, and realized I'd gotten it wrong the first time. Same point, I guess.

Muslim terrorists don't leave Tarot cards claiming they themselves are god. Their god is Allah and Allah is the one they kill for. If this Tarot card was left by the sniper, then it's much more likely, to me anyway, that he's just a dellusional punk like the Columbine murderers, except that he's possibly had some sniper training and he doesn't want to die.

????"a team of four" ????
Could they be our elusive medical students????
To: Flint
Registered to vote!??? Hell. he's replacing Lautenberg on the NJ ticket!
To: Neuromancer
It certainly seems like a point of beginning. Anybody know what the "closest" hit was to that spot. Was the message "Turn to Michael's in your phone book" or "Operation Michael". I don't discount it but "netting" this guy is number one. We can put it together later. Kinda like the phoney return address on the Anthrax letters.

It could have been a miss. Evidently there was an employee inside at the time and the bullet just missed her. Its possible the glass deflected the shot.
To: tabsternager
Interesting, considering sources inside the investigation are starting to consider the card a red herring, used to confuse the task force.
Muslims are not supposed to drink and frequent strip clubs(and according to some, not to kill innocents lol) and yet they do.

This is the 3rd "night time hit" out of 12 hits including the window only at Michael's.
How much of an advantage or disadvantage to the sniper??
Someone mentioned a "flash" when the guy fires.

besides being psychotic goathumpers, everything i've read says these guys are some cheap bastards. employers' costs being what they are, payroll's easier to cope with when you're only paying three v five ...I've heard that that Al-Qaeda health plan is terrible, and forget about their pension plan. :-P
Seriously, their past operations have shown incredible tight-fistedness. Remember the first World Trade Center bombing? The terrorists went back to the truck rental place to get their deposit back.
To: randita
How else to explain that it seems that no one (neighbors, co-workers, family, etc.) has reported these vehicles? The vehicles are going underground and staying there until shortly before and after the shootings. They're being hiddenThey could well be driving right into a semi. Someone on another thread thought of that, and it makes the most sense to me. The semi is probably parked just out of sight, and they are probably inside with the door closed before the first 911 call is completed.
To: aristeides
Avoid panic, or avoid a backlash against Middle Easterners?Both, I'd think...

Possibly a half-*ssed copycat here in the Columbus, Ohio area too...some idiot taking shots at cars passing by on the freeway here.
