Don't anyone kid yourselves, the FBI, the Secret Service and Homeland Security are running this investigation - not the local police. Any attack by snipers in the Washington, D.C. area will be covered by top government agencies since this is the seat of power. The only reason not to publicly call it terrorism is to prevent the publicity given to the extremist terrorists in their actions (which is what they want), to prevent panic and to avoid all the stupid questions as the media zoom in on the federal agencies rather that Capt. Moose, and to make the terrorists feel they really don't know what is going on - yet - they know full well.

This says it all...

Even listening to Moose, one can hear that this is exactly what is happening. Moose said we are working on a physical profile and will release one to you, by the close of business today! (over a week ago)

A day or two later he trotted out a Geographical Profiler and said that the best minds in criminology agree with me (Moose), and that is why we will not be releasing partial profile information (because it paints groups...)

If the profile pointed towards a white American, it would be released immediately. The lack of release is a clue as to the ethnicity of the sniper.
