Yes, that is potent and logical speculation. I have thought that, only because almost TWO WEEKS ago Chief Moose had a slip of the tongue and said they were afraid of releasing anymore information 'that might tend to paint a whole group...and cause problems for THEM' (paraphrase).

The theory is that they want to mobilize all forces and capture the person first, then they can release that he was an AQ but since they have him in custody they could then urge strong public obedience not to strike out against any area Religion of Peace-ists.

I heard that too. First thought here was he was taking about MEs, otherwise why say it?

A brilliant catch, AiT! That 'slip' by Moose may have pretty much confirmed a PC protection plan.

'Paint a whole GROUP and cause problems for THEM'

Wow. Can you find the exact quote?

I find it incredible that we are sheltering an enemy army. I mean, I understand LE concern about riots, vigilantes, etc, etc (but there is NO evidence that Americans will react that way)-however, at the National Defense level, what POSSIBLE excuse is there for the continued existence of a large hostile population which contains many enemy soldiers, who are here only at our discretion?

I just don't get it.
