This is very well thought out and organizes a LOT of facts; I can go with this.

My theory is that it's a government worker gone postal.
Somewhat similar to the forest ranger who starts forest fires.
I have the same gut-feeling about the anthrax letters.
That's it. Just a simple "gut feeling".

Our French sniper is probably Muslim, an immigrant to France, perhaps... and is loose here. He'd be able to move in western society easier than a middle eastern born arab with no exposure to the West.

It fits all the known facts.

You are thinking along the same lines as a caller to KDKA radio tonight. (I know you know where that radio station is located.) He thinks it's a disgruntled police officer or someone in law enforcement who lives in Maryland as is living life on both sides of the gun. Hence, he knows what the police are doing and thinking every minute of the day.

I'm sure that every cop is being looked at. They are about the only non terrorist that could pull this off. They'd know the operating procedures, the escape routes, weapon training etc, knowledge of the area, avoiding detection. But the motive, or whatever made the guy snap. Cop, or terrorist, I think it's one of the two.
