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.

I don't know...the first report was that they were in Bellingham because they were not admitted into Canada...and in effect stuck there. The younger guy enrolled in High school there....they didn't say much more.

[Elenya]

The Newsies are all screaming Camp ground Zero is a MILITIA TRAINING CAMP, but as the links a bunch of us have provided show - it was linked to Al Queda and ME TErorists Not MILITIAS

Yes. And with this John Mohammad guy, we'll see how long they can keep it up.

[Freedom2specul8]

Thereis no way they can say this is homegrown..this was transplanted to our land. These people were allowed to make roots all over the US. See map posted on previous 100 posts. GRRRR

[swarthyguy]

I wnat what you're smoking.

I hate to bring in politics, but if this is connected to terrorism, and a big bust is made before election day, it could really push Republicans over the top. With the Homeland Security bill still not passed, the dems will look extremely guilty.

[Mo1]

I wonder if he is a follower of Louis Farrakhan ??

[TexKat]

The media is now complaining that LE has let this info out, before they were complaning that the LE was too tight lipped.

[slimer]

I can't believe they're going to try that white supremacist crap again!!!!!!!

OKLAHOMA CITY!!! TIMOTHY MCVEIGH!!! ME'S???

Some high ranking members of Congress have been pushing for the Justice department to look into the possibility that there were ME's (IRAQ'S), involved in the bombing.

Wasn't McVeigh involved in some type of militia?

[Peach]

Two suspects being sought, press conf. coming up, names and places the individuals are being sought indicate AQ connection, although the press won't release that due to PC.

[Dog]

I didn't not mean anything by that .....ok...??

Could he be New Black Panther??

[rintense]

Pretty funny that they can't get into Canada but can stay in the US.

[ladysusan]

nothing on switchboard either

[Slip18]

Stop it! I can't take any more!

[relee]

CNN -

Mohammad Williams was stationed at one time at Ft. Lewis and has a connection the the Tacoma house they searched this afternoon. Both men are supposed to be in the Caprice now.

[looney tune]

My thoughts exactly. The President can slam them on this.

[Ramius]

Dude... back away from the tinfoil a little. The tinfoil is supposed to go around your *head*. :-)

[Howlin]

Okay, I'll play. Who is that? Got a link?

[MasonGal]

Thanks SO MUCh, Peach!!

I'm finally starting to be able to get some handle on what's been going on.

Thanks AGAIN!!

[livius]

it will be sickening listening to the press play this like domestic terrorism

I don't think they'll be able to get away with it. I think they may have to face the truth about the ROP (Religion of Peace).
