Yes, and we knew it from the day and even before when that nutjob hijacked a loaded junior high school bus in rural Pennsylvania and drove it down to Maryland a few months back.
Some of this said this could be alQaida or, if not, certainly something they would do to freak us out within our own borders (they have been planning this; documents have been seized in Ghost, Afghanistan).
Other Freepers really shot down that idea as alarmist and over reacting. Not, perhaps, knowing how truly traumatic it could be for terrorists to mess with American kids, knowing what a society we have with a soft spot in it's heart for the little ones.
The soft national underbelly.
