Don't discount the first part of the announcement. Chief Moose was forced to single out the chief of police in Ashland as doing such a good job.

This was a phone message left at the Ponderosa -- not a written message left at the shooting hide -- called in by the sniper after he got away but only just barely. He was impressed at the reaction time in Ashland and he attributed this to the chief on the scene there (I forgot the chief's name).

The number to call is either a phone booth, a disposable cell phone, or a number that the sniper is insisting be cleaned of surveillence.

From the gitgo I was sure that this was AQ terrorism. This tell's me it's a nut on a power play.

Very goood. Moose seemed unnerved. Why would he make mention (first) of the great job that the Sheriff did last night???

Aren't lots of the people in AQ nuts on power plays?

Thanks, I had been wondering since last night why the chief was interrupted and left in the middle of his press conference last night. I thought at that time that perhaps they had captured the sniper but instead it was the phone call from the sniper.

Plausible scenario.
