Not to mention the use of white vans by Michaels is no coincidence.

if the truth came out...the government would lose control of the population

I sadly believe you underestimate the docility of the American population, even the gunowners. And the government can berelied on , I think, to viciously side with the local Moslems/Arabs in such a brawl. Determined gun confiscation would likely result. The members of the bureaucracy and most of the bureaucracy are suicidally tunnelvisioned and will die before they let anyone have any excuse to label them unPC.

This is very well thought out and organizes a LOT of facts; I can go with this.

Anyone can feel free to add their own to it. I say this is all coming together. Where is Reid being held again? Anyone? Anyone? How about Johnny Walker? Anyone? Anyone? What terrorists were released today in Cuba? Anyone? Anyone?

I am thinking that the 2 men a Mexican and a Guataemalen were probably very common user's of this pay phone. Most illegal immigrants resort to using calling cards to call their homeland and usually early in the morning or real late at night depending on the time change of their country to the U.S..

Whether calling Mexico or Guataemala, it would be earlier there, based on time change. Your reasoning here is pointless.

Beats the hell out of these so called "professional profilers".

I see the same blindness being protrayed by some political pundits when they claim something can't happen because it hasn't happened before.

one word--> 9/11

I think you've hit the nail squarely on the head. Unfortunately.

Most labor workers work 12-14 hour days. It is not pointless. They might not be able to get intouch with them at any other time. There usually is a round about time they catch up with family or needs before a long work day and most businesses close by the end of their work day. It is far from pointless.

Not to jump on you at all there sorry. I live near and around a big mexican and guat population. They never have social security cards and always pay for everything in cash and use phone cards. They usually get them at the same gas stations or convenience stores and the same pay phones.

My theory is that it's a government worker gone postal.
Somewhat similar to the forest ranger who starts forest fires.
I have the same gut-feeling about the anthrax letters.
That's it. Just a simple "gut feeling".

You have certainly put a lot of "partial pictures" together.

Your theory is no more or less believable than the "it's a crafty whacko" theory.

Bottom line is that we all know very little about what's going on; what was written, what was said, what it sounded like, what this person (or these people) beef really is.

These guys where making the calls early in the morning...6 or 6:30 AM Eastern? It would be even earlier in the morning in their native countries. They were clearly not calling home because of the time change......Pointless.

Not to jump on you at all there sorry.

No reason to appologize...Just discussing.

I think it's AQ or a wannabe. Have you read Zawahiri's latest speech or the one attributed to bin laden his speech to the American people? They both read like a list of demands.

[Howlin]

It's just as good a thought as any I've seen.

[thatsnotnice]

YOU can do almost anything you want to do and get away with it if you act alone and keep your mouth shut.

That is a fact.

If a girlfriend, wife, family member or friend knows about it, you will most likely be caught. If you get drunk and start bragging in a bar one night you will get caught.

It may be frustrating and infuriating but he has a very easy task when it comes to shooting random targets and it will be tough to catch him without a break somewhere along the line.

He may never be caught – but unless he is acting alone and keeps his mouth shut he WILL be caught, eventually.

I don’t think this is a group. I don’t think it’s organized. FWIW.

Al Qaeda and its supporting groups have had its money stripped from them for the most part and choked off. Is this the new means of getting money?

An interesting point. The Abu Sayyaf (southern Philippines version of AQ) did fund their operations by kidnapping rich foreigners and returning them after ransom money was paid. At one time, the exchange rate in Manila was 40 pesos=1 US dollar, while in the areas where Abu Sayyaf was the black market rate was 10 pesos=1 dollar. Why? Because they needed the US greenbacks to buy ammo and guns.
