Let's keep a live commentary thread going again today. The FBI Tip Line #1-888-324-9800.

All seems quiet since yesterday's news the shooter may target children specifically. It was released on various news outlets the shooter's 3-page letter to police was in broken English and threatened extreme violence. Police announced an electronic transfer of $10m as requested by the shooter was not possible but other options for transfer remain open. No one seriously believes police will actually give the shooter $$, but police are trying to keep a dialogue open with the shooter in an effort to capture this monster.

Ah, Lobbyist, one of Miss Marple's media rules is this:

When the media becomes paternalitstic and withholds information, it is because they don't like the information that they have, and do not want to communicate it to the sweaty masses.

[rintense]

No idea. FOX just reported that.

[Peach]

[Letitring]

Terrorist cell in Washington state

. WASHINGTON - Grand juries in Seattle and Detroit Wednesday charged six alleged Islamic militants with supporting global terrorist activities, including a U.S. citizen accused of providing safe houses and training to Osama bin Laden's al-Qaida network.

Three of the men were detained soon after Sept. 11 while the man identified as Abdella remains a fugitive.

Terrorist link? Interesting article...A federal grand jury Wednesday indicted a well-known Islamic activist in the Seattle-area on charges of conspiring to set up an al Qaeda terrorist training camp in rural Oregon in an attempt to further promote "violent jihad" against the United States... Ujaama, whose birth name is James Earnest Thompson, was taken into custody last month and has been held at a facility in Virginia, although authorities would not say whether he remains there.

Well then, based on your rule, we can rule out an angry white guy. If it were indeed and angry white guy, the media would have spilled the beans hours ago!
