I never heard it, and doubt these knuckleheads had accomplices at the scenes.

Not so fast on the "knucklehead" slur. The same was said about Richard Reid-- "too stupid to be linked to Al Qaida."

John Allen Muhammad and John Lee Malvo are soldiers in the Mahdi's army.

Interesting approach to thought manipulation here - The sound-byte moguls seem intent on applying a very specific test to this case; if the sniper was not an active Al Quaeda operative, he was not really a "terrorist", just a deranged individual.

Funny how the media wants to treat this differently than the OKC bombing. There was never any question about calling that terrorism. Of course, that was different. The bad guy was a white male.
