"It's very possible that he has told them that if his picture is released he will start killing more"

That's a possibility.Like you say,there is no telling what the FBI knows.He may be threatening a mass slaying or something of that nature.Hopefully very few of his plans will come to fruition.I'm real curious if there will turn out to be a political statement,or simple lunacy. Pay close attention to what is being said, but more important to what is NOT being said.

1. Not once has a suit said "We do not believe this to be a terrorist incident. We believe this to be an isolated case". Very key I believe.

2. Chief Moose seems to accentuate the phrase "the person or the PERSONS doing this". I do not believe I have heard him use one without the other yet. Some significance to that.

3. Very few if any Feds "weighing in" on the case. Note quite sure the significance of this. Administration, Senators, Representatives, DC City officials, dogcatchers. Noone. Decorum? Other reasons? Don't know.

I know what you mean, and there's often some value in that, but it's also an argumentum ex silentio, so hard to assess. Maybe the only value for them to say that would be to get into a flames war on FR.

2. If Chief Moose said "person" then maybe people would say "How do you know it's just one person? Who is he? Where does he live? Why do you keep saying 'person' if you don't know?" etc.

3. It keeps it more manageble if only one guy is doing the official talking during a crisis.

It is a terrorist thing any way about it,requardless of if it is Al Queda or not.

The feds are keeping a low profile,they would just as soon not be in the public eye,but you know they are running the show.
