So far, nothing's convinced me it's muslim terrorism either, although I do keep an open mind.

As far as tonight's performance, I'm still a little confused here. I read all the explanations about the phone booth, the cell phone etc... And they make sense.

But I'm just wondering: If the perp left Moose a phone number, WHY WOULD MOOSE HAVE TO ANNOUNCE IT ON TV? Why would he have to tell the perp: We're ready to take your call? Why not just have someone ready to take that phone call?

Probably to let the perp know that the phone line is set up and they are ready to receive calls.

I wonder why it took Chief Moose so long to make this request. It's been 24 hours since the man was shot. Are they just finding the note, message?

The number could have been 911 and Moose interpreted it as a phone number.

The only I reason I can think of is that they've had that number ready (and it has to be the most heavily-bugged phone line in the world right now) since they first found the note and nobody has called.

Maybe they didn't find the note until this morning. That's entirely possible. But nobody has called all day, and Moose felt necessary to prod the shooter.

The sniper does feel invincible and by essentially challenging him to call, it might well happen.
