I have a really bad feeling overall about what is what.

LEOs in the US generally don't negotiate with bad guys unless something major is on the table. We all know that the FBI is driving, yet Moose is still the face out front.

I may be reading too much into this, but my question is simply, "What aren't we being told that is so 'dangerous'?"

Maybe a really nasty bad threat that can't be substantiated. We are dealing with Islamic Terrorists after all. They could be up to anything.

Is that correct? I thought one LEO strategy was to keep the BG talking until he's caught...

If it's the sniper, then he's threatening to kill school children.

Absolutely.

Cause the shooter said that no information should be decimated to the media about his threats.
