Pretty freaky, my office 2 miles from Tacoma location, 4 miles from my house.

I'm remembering that one of those al-queda bugs in the Portland cell, the ones that were target-shooting at the dump...one of those bugs had been a soldier in the U.S. Army, having joined to learn how to make war on Americans. If they find a military connection to the sniper, it may be a similar situation.

We teach them how to fly airplanes, they fly airplanes into our citizens. We teach them the arts of war, they make war on our citizens.

Time for all al-queda to die.

A bit too close to home isn't it? But I suspect cells are throughout the country.

A military caller mentioned that on KVI today. There is a difference between being compaasionate and being a chump. America might want to refresh themselves on the CORRECT definition...

They also urged immigrants to come forward with any information without fear of deportation, and the governor raised the possibility of posting National Guardsman at Maryland polls on Nov. 5 unless the killer is caught.

IMHO, this is another signal that this is the work of terrorists, and not a simple psycopath. The timing of the shootings makes sense for terrorists as well. First, a rash of shootings to get the media's attention, then enough to keep it in the public eye while minimizing risk to the shooters.

If this is the work of terrorists, the response should be to give no more information about unsolved homicides to the press, because that is what the terrorists want. There response to this tactic would predictably be to create another rash of shootings to force it back into the public view.
