"Would anybody care to comment on Moose's statement to the sniper that
'...you have indicated that this is about more than violence?' "

Well, we know he's demanded money, and I'll eat my sneakers of Mosse is VOLUNTARILY communicating with the psychotic b@stard via television, no matter HOW incompetent anyone says he is...and since the letter was three pages long, there are no telling how many other things the killer(s) ranted and raved about and demanded. Also, since certain law enforcement agencies are acting as though they believe they might get information from members of other terrorist organizations which we have in custody, I'm guessing they are taking whatever is in the snipers' communique's as a terrorist threat.

I am looking, for but can not find, a link to the recent (a month & half or so ago) story regarding AQ plans for attacks on schools. I believe the Washington Times ran with it first but it was in breaking news in the past month or so. It's the first thing to come to mind when I heard the "children" comments today. Thanks in advance

Do you suppose this is tied into the sniper demands?

Pentagon to Release Prisoners From Guantanamo, Rumsfeld Says
foxnews.com ^ | October 22, 2002

The U.S. government is preparing to free a small number of prisoners from its high-security jail in Cuba, in what would be the first release of combatants who are no longer considered a terrorist threat, Secretary of Defense Donald H. Rumsfeld said Tuesday.

"There are some people likely to come out of the other end of the chute," Rumsfeld told a Pentagon press conference.

Other officials said on condition of anonymity that it could be within days.

Rumsfeld said officials were vetting the prisoners to make sure they were not candidates for prosecution, no longer of any intelligence value, and not a threat to the United States and its allies.

The first batch to be let go includes "a relatively small number" of men, he said, adding that he didn't know their nationalities.

Pakistani officials have said a visit to the prison turned up a number of Pakistanis who do not represent a threat to the United States.

The government, a major U.S. ally in the counter-terror war, has asked the men to allowed to return to Pakistan. It's unclear how many other countries have sought release of their nationals.
