This is getting interesting.

My terrorism theory is gaining ground. I'm not the only one who thinks so.

This search has spread from one end of the country to the other. A wide net has been cast and it puts every American smack in the middle of it.

I would still love to be proved wrong. We all would rest much easier if they arrested (or killed) one lone, crazed guy found to be responsible for the shootings. The connotations that come with it being terrorism...well it's a bit too scary to think about.

We are always more comfortable with the idea that such horrible things are conducted by "one lone, crazed guy," aren't we? It's so much nicer and neater than a real conspiracy....

I've found your thoughts on this issue tremendously interesting thus far. Please don't stop thinking them.

Cheers

: really uneasy tonight : So about those phrases that the sniper(s) want the police to repeat... Gee, wouldn't Al Qaeda really get off on having the police repeat and broadcast code phrases for them? Like, say, ones that signalled larger-scale terrorist attacks could commence?

Of course that's waaaay far-fetched. But considering there was so much concern over broadcast of the Bin Laden videos that kept turning up -- because of the possibility that they may contain code phrases to Al Qaeda members -- I'm sorry, but I don't think anything's beyond the realm of possibility.

I told my mother yesterday that I thought maybe this was a terrorist thing, so no, you aren't the only one.

This is bad.
