Once and for all snpier doesn't = terrorist

[chesty]

They are from a foreign military. The feds have asked the military for help in providing surveillance and target acquisition.

Mark my words, these are trained individuals. Just because you take off on the weekends doesn't rule you out as an enemy terrorist.

Why should they follow some stereotype that we have bestowed upon them? Not all enemy are suicidal. Tonight we will have kill #10 (wish it weren't true)

'THESE ARE TERRORISTS'
Sat Oct 12, 3:27 AM ET

By STEVE DUNLEAVY

WASHINGTON, D.C.

LARRY Johnson, former CIA agent, former State Department agent, said loudly and clearly: "At the end of the day, we have to give some credence that there is a terrorist threat."

Johnson was responding to the fact that the Montgomery monster's latest hit was grimly performed by two human beings in that now well-known white panel van - facts that might well suggest a terrorist attack.

"I personally think it is a jihad, rather than a crazy nut," Johnson, a veteran counterintelligence expert, said.

Jim Kallstrom, the former boss of the FBI (news - web sites) in New York who investigated the downing of TWA 880, does not dismiss the theory either.

"This is a different situation if there are two people involved in the shootings," he said.

"If there are two, it is unusual. Two people do not have parallel psychoses. If there are two involved, I would have to lean towards a conspiracy."

Kallstrom said it's strange that two people could work together bonded by the idea of committing faceless assassinations.

"I'm not on the ground there, so I don't want to second guess cops who are doing a great job," he said. "But two assassins means to some degree a conspiracy - and conspiracy leads to something else."

What's uncanny about the past 10 days is that a gunman and perhaps a co-conspirator have held the capital of this country prisoner.

The Washington area is completely paralyzed.

Schools have canceled outdoor activities - some have even papered over their windows.

And the experts, who fear that genius is at work - evil as it is - also fear that this may very well be the work of more than one lone nut case. They are now left to ponder the viciously indelible images from today's pitiful murder scene.

First of all, there's the tragic picture of the gas nozzle in a gas tank of the silver-blue Buick owned by the man who was mindlessly slaughtered.

Second are the sightings of guys wearing jackets that dramatically, and possibly sadly, said "FBI Anti-terrorist Squad."

And then there is this image of law enforcement - FBI or local police, I don't know - wearing ski masks. That's something I've only seen previously in Ireland on the British anti-terrorist Special Forces making anonymous patrols.

This city, this country, has not come to grips with the fact that one lone gunman, two lone gunman, or jihad can close down the capital of this country.

In a terrible way, we have to recognize, as a colleague of mine said, 10 gunman doing the same thing could close down the country.

What we are seeing is ordinary people having their lives terminated in grimly extraordinary ways.

If this murderer stopped shooting, I would gladly be his final victim.

if yes, then as I mentionned in another thread: poor choice of weapon.

Nope.. he doesnt kill on tuesdays or the weekends...

[chesty]

Watch and see. The .223 is a great sniper weapon for urban environment.

Thats a good point.

Lets look at the larger picture:

1. A disco in Bali gets blown up.

2. Marines get shot at in Kuwait

3. A sniper starts shooting people in DC

Interrelated or mutually exclusive?

Chesty, this is guerilla tactics plain and simple.

They are playing on their strengths.

Being small, they are mobile and can remain hidden.

The US agencies are BIG, and can be seen and heard.

Toss in the idiotic media, and the feds have little chance of catching the sniper(s)(I'm personally leaning towards the plural rather than the singular).

And regarding their use of radios(You said this before), ELINT
coverage of the DC area by the military won't do shit.
And encrypted UHF line-of-sight radio is almost impossible
to triangulate, unless you're DIRECTLY in between the 2 radios.
While I'm at it, if they use burst transmission(commercially available), the odds of them being intercepted increase dramatically.

Personally, I think they communicate with encrypted cell phones.
Much more secure.
They don't even need to have them encrypted when i think about it. Most comm cells have frequncy-hopping qualities. making it very, very hard to pick-up the digitized information from the airways.

Moral of my post:

Unless they seriously fuck-up, they're not going to get caught.
