On another note this guy Anderson, the FBI agent who is the former head of the Joint Terrorism Task Force who was on FOX News this morning did not impress me at all. The FOX News guy was asking him about the possibility of it being related to International Terrorism what with the calls for renewed violence against the US, the shootings in Kuwait, the bombings in Bali and the economic and pyschological damage that the sniper is inflicting.

Can any of you guess what the guy said?

"Oh no! There are no indications that it could be related to international terrorism" (What a suprise!)

So the FOX News guy asks why not, and the FBI guy says, "Well there have been no claims of responsiblity.." blah blah blah.

And I am thinking to myself what a moron. When was the last time Al Qaida took credit for an attack on the US? Doesn't this guy know it doesn't work like that anymore? Did they take credit for 9-11? The bombing of the Cole? This latest attack in Bali? These people (the Feds) are living in a timewarp. If your a terrorist and you want to get away with it all you have to do is think outside the box for about 10 minutes and you can stump the Feds. They seem incapable of seeing beyond their preconceived notions.

The reporter should have followed up the question with
'Does that mean the FBI has conclusively ruled-out terrorism as a motive'?

Sometimes I think these "experts" simply haven't done their homework. You would think they would know by now that not all groups claim responsibility.
