I just have this feeling that these people (and I am believing right now it is two people) are trying to make this seem like Al-Qaeda or some other group is doing this. I believe it is homegrown - in that the people are American but with some agenda to make terrorists seem responsible in order to throw us into a terrorist panic. They can hide behind the terrorist face as much as they want because we are so paranoid about terrorists now. They probably figure if we stop what we are doing and focus on middle eastern men terrorists they can hide behind that. I think it is just two or more home grown nutjobs enjoying the terrorist aspect of it. They know that we are so scared after Sept. 11th that everytime we see an explosion or in this case hear about a serial killer/sniper we think automatically it's terrorists whereas years ago we would just chock this up to home grown serial nutjobs. Just a thought but we are creating the terrorist scenario in our own minds because there really isn't any proof that it is terrorists. We seem to WANT it to be terrorism because we seem to have shoved serial killers as a thing of the past and the only thing we have to worrry about is terrorism right now. But again, this is just my humble opinion.

It's entirely plausible it's Americans doing to Americans....to wit: Johnny Jihad, those captured in cells in NY and Oregon.....

Your theory sort of tosses Occam and his razor out of the window, doesn't it?

I do agree that most would prefer to think of this the work of a ME terror group. It's harder to accept as the work of one or a few Americans out for thrills. I do, however, think that we are dealing with the latter and that this individual(s) is addicted to the hunt, kill, and escape routine.
