The media brought this up due to the 2 illegals that were picked up at the phone booth and are now being shipped back. I doubt it has anything to do with that they think the sniper is a foreigner.

Hehehe. Whiplash. Me, too. Except from what he said, how he said it, I got the impression he was talking to someone who might have witnessed the shooting yesterday. Maybe called the tipline but then got scared and hung up, maybe stayed on the phone just long enough for them to determine the person didn't speak English well.

Just got in - heard about the immigration comments - screaming on many counts. With the 24-hour deportation of the two men the other day, I can't see immigrants feeling comfortable coming forward. Why isn't Moose authorized to grant immunity in this huge federal case? Jeez. Whiplash is right. Going out to plant pansies (we're in the south).

Yep. The appeal to the
immigrant community in Maryland is probably not just for crime scene witnesses, but also for people in those specific, unique communities who may know of someone acting odd or who had made threats.
Based on the ethnicity of the suburban DC/Maryland immigrant communities (both legal and otherwise) the powers of logic then would tend to eliminate: Whites, African Americans and Native Americans. That leaves:
Asians
Hispanics
Middle Easterns.
It is hard to imagine an Asian doing this except perhaps Jemaah Islamiya from Indonesia or Abu Sayyef, or elsewhere. Also, I don't think the M-18 gangs from El Salvador or other vatos including homegrown gangbangers are doing this to the area, not to this level.
That leaves Middle Easterners.
And of course, we can't imagine any random terrorism against soft targets in the US by anyone from the Middle East, can we???? /sarc
All in All, Miss M and everyone, IMHO it's probably straight out of the Middle East. My best guess is Hamas-related, Iraq related or AQ related. My how they take the time to break the news slowly to the very source that can help them get the guy(s): The People!

Could one of you please start the thread for me tomorrow morning? I just found out the stop-over President Bush is making in SC is earlier than I'd originally thought and I will be leaving early in the morning. Friday I can pick the thread up again (and Thursday night spend hours catching up on all the news). Freepmail me if you can to let me know one of you can start the thread tomorrow a.m. Thank you.
