Another – unnamed – federal law enforcement officer tells me the inside scuttlebutt in the FBI and other police agencies is that comments made by Ari Fleischer may have sparked a terrorist wave.


On Oct. 1, Fleischer told the White House press corps that "one bullet" into Saddam's head – "if Iraqi people take it on themselves" – would be an easy way to avoid a war with the U.S.


On Oct. 2, the day after Fleischer made this sensational comment advocating Saddam's assassination, the sniper first struck, killing James D. Martin as he crossed a supermarket parking lot in Wheaton, Md.


Since then, the shootings around Washington have had a terrorizing effect, paralyzing economic and social life around the Beltway.


Still, the police and government officials have been loath to mention the "T" word.


WOW - I had not seen this before.

Never thought of connection between Ari's statement and the sniper...I think maybe it's time for the DC police to clam up...no more clues, no more cues...just find this bastard and kill him. Easy for me to say. All involved have my sympathy, especially Chief Moose, who seems in a bit over his head.

I should say, my sympathy has limits, and the bureaucrats who insist on the PC bug hunt get none from me.
