FBI profiler Clint Van Zandt on Meet the Press tonight also expected there were two people involved in each hit, due to the setup time, van and escape requirements. What he didn't say was whether he thought that included a spotter also at the site of each hit, typical for covert assassination assignments, in this case the assignment being to increase fear in the public, and among Congressmen, who have apparently been told by FEMA not to have outdoor press conferences. The motive for inciting fear? Who knows. However we'll no doubt continue to hear the media say: "the sniper" singular rather than "possibly snipers" plural... The possibility of organized politically-motivated assassinations would be too alarming for the public. With any luck when caught the sniper(s) won't be summarily executed or have a fatal accident before they can be publicly interrogated.

Dear Gordon: It was the most popular weapon in Nam cause thats what they gave us. Our weapon of choice though was a sawed off 12 gauge shotgun loaded with Double Ought Buck. (gg). Dont need any range as anyone even 50 yards from you you couldnt see anyhow. haha. As to the effective range, laying prone or with something to brace the weapon against 500 yards with a scope was a PIECE OF CAKE. I believe most if not all of these shootings occurred in the morning, usually not much breeze that time of day. Plus, this shooter is picking his targets, they are stationery, not moving at all (except the mower deal) and if weather is a consideration he certainly would be smart enough to be positioned for the least effect. This is a tough situation and I suspect only CHANCE will catch him. JDN
