President Bush, speaking out for the first time on the string of deadly slayings, said Monday the spree is "a form of terrorism." "I'm just sick -- sick to my stomach -- to think that there is a cold-blooded killer at home taking innocent life," Bush said. "I weep for those who have lost their loved ones. ... Any time anybody is randomly shooting, randomly killing, randomly taking life, it's cold-blooded murder."

Sigh.......pushing the terrorism bit again......

In the same shopping center as the Home Depot is a Michaels craft store. The sniper began his shooting spree on October 2 at a Michaels but missed his intended target. The sniper wounded a woman at a Michaels two days later in Fredericksburg, Virginia.

Investigators asked the Army and Navy to check records for any current or recently discharged sniper-trained personnel who recently have been in metro Washington. Pentagon sources said there were no military-related suspects in the sniper case.

Even if they did have suspects, they wouldn't tell the media....the government is looking for support of the military right now.

Authorities in Prince George's County instituted a new "sniper response plan" Saturday night in reaction to an area shooting that turned out to be unrelated to the sniper attacks. All counties and cities in metro Washington are sharing the plan, which combines responses from federal, state and local police officials.

[ Each incident is one more step toward sharing all police records and actions, which is a de facto national police force which will be formalized in the next generation, once the stigma of its founding is forgotten. ]
