Can you imagine the horror if the Thomas hearings were today with the 24/7 media coverage. My head can not comprehend what they would have done in 2002 to Thomas.

There's a lot about these events that reminds me of The Day of the Jackal.

What's Frederick Forsyth doing these days?

or at least in a situation where many LE personnel will be killed

I may be wrong, but I see today's murder as an escalation in that direction. Bus drivers wear uniforms. And the shooter was obviously targeting bus drivers IMO because I am certain he knew exactly what to expect at that site at that time of the morning. I see it as a veiled threat to LEOs.

"nuclear" My stepdad form Tennessee used to say "NU CU LAR". I think the President does, too.

What was said in the news conference? I missed it.

I, too, am now leaning terrorism- based soley on Moose's remarks from 10/15.

I was out jogging in downtown D.C. over lunchtime. No sign of martial law there.

Did it ever occur that he is not leaving the scene in a van but may be using other means such a storm sewer?

I think he was sending a message to Moose by going back to Mont. Co. You messed up and now you all will pay.

If Bush stopped saying "nuclear" the way he does I would be unhappy.

mhking says the sewers there aren't big enough for a person to go through. Even though I live in Takoma Park, in Montgomery County, I have to admit I've never taken a look at our sewers.

Comments earlier on the thread talked about Moose discussing that we live as a free people and "these people" (covered by adding "or this person") are willing to kill without regard.

Apparently Moose looked extremely stressed.

I am back to terrorism, and urge people o stock up on basic supplies in case we are confined to our homes.

Well, i think we witnessed a mirror image of the Thomas hearings in 1998 with the Lewinski scandal. What a waste of a year watching TV, listening to the mainstream media spare Clinton--I became so disallusioned I stopped watching TV until 9/11/02. FR was/is all i need

"We have to hang together, friends, and even though we may have disagreements
with liberals, and he has a problemtatic reputation in that regard, we must be a
united "house" to get through this awful time."

My favorite congressman, J.D. Hayworth calls them "our friends on the left".:)

His nomination wouldn't even get out the Judiciary committee. No vote, no nothing.
