As much as I play with the contrast of my monitor, I just don't see a "lone white gunman".

(Shamelessly stolen from another poster/thread - and still LOL)

There is no AQ connection according to Rita's sources. This is what they said about OKC.

They have been traveling the country ...... who bankrolled their travels???

Robberies? The police should check unsolved robberies, etc. Maybe they will confess (brag) about their crimes.

These guys seem to be very stupid. Imagine, the two of them sleeping in a public place in the hottest car in the world.

It's hard to believe they could have escaped after the shootings.

What's their connection to the Silver Spring, MD area?

I so sick of the Clinton Era FBI profilers (with all the liberal PC training) saying, "It is an angry White Male".

Earlier this morning, Steve Ducey held up a picture of Mohammed and asked, "Is this the angry white male that all of the profilers have been talking about". (paraphrased).

"...They will be as tight-lipped as McVeigh was..."

That, and anything they might say which contradicts the official legend will be surpressed.

Truth in this case will be harder to find than a virgin female in a whorehouse as time passes.

"You asked us to say 'We have caught the sniper like a duck in a noose.' We understand that hearing us say that is important to you," Moose said.

Have we forgotten about AQ's use of hidden messages, as in code words/phrases and use of steaganography to pass on info to other cells? If Mohammad is connected, could this be a way for them to trigger other actions in the near future?

What better way to do that than by using our own presstitutes via the chief spokesman?

From Preparing for Jihad … in Alabama (ABC News, July 25):

Web Site Provides Terror Link

The suspected terror ties of the Alabama camp were unknown until after Sept. 11, when officials in London arrested an accused al Qaeda supporter, Zain-ul-Albidin

He is charged with operation of a Web site, under the name of Sakina Security, allegedly recruiting Muslims for an Islamic jihad or holy war. He is now on trial in London.

The site, since taken down by British authorities, described what seemed to be the Alabama camp, including live-fire exercises at a state-of-the-art shooting range in the United States — something that would not be legal in Britain.

"In the United States, it is not illegal for anyone to receive military training, high-grade military training," said Rohan Gunaratna, author of Inside Al Qaeda.

The actual owners of camp, who are also British, say it was used primarily to train law enforcement personnel. Officials consider them unwitting accomplices. The camp owners declined to talk to ABCNEWS.

Scale of Secret Camps Unknown

It is not known how many holy war recruits came through the camp or when. But the FBI is now investigating a number of suspected training camps around the country.

"We know of a number of cases where Islamic terrorists came and training in this country in the early 1990s. It is likely that this scale of training is still continuing," Gunaratna said.

The most radical and belligerent of London's Islamic clerics, Abu Hamza, told ABCNEWS in a phone call that America's laws make such paramilitary training easy, "like a picnic."

British intelligence officials told ABCNEWS they are closely examining alleged ties between Hamza, who is said to have recruited alleged "20th hijacker" Zacarias Moussaoui, and Zain-ul-Albidin.

Well, one thing I was right about. The phrasing on the Tarot card WAS written by a foreigner...the Jamaican stepson.

How interesting that these two are a combination of both the domestic theory and the foreign theory.

Also, as a side issue, do you think perhaps Harry Belafonte will now shut up?

I don't doubt these guys were involved- there seems to be too much evidence from what we see so far--but if this is the guy who was leaving the letters and demanding the $10M, why didn't he bother to listen to Moose's answer last night? Then he would have known that there was an ABP, complete with their pictures and names and an auto description and license number out on him & his stepson.

I didn't notice LE looking into car trunks.

They have to get the warrants to search the car. They want to do this right. They don't want to leave any stone unturned.
