That's doubly interesting, because the White House, presumably, has access to the info the authorities have been withholding from the public. On the other hand, if the information is ambiguous, there are certainly political reasons to want to point at Al Qaeda.

I still can't get around the fact that nobody has claimed responsibility. If it was terrorism, they would have done something by now to let America know who was doing this to them. Otherwise, what's the point?

The ABC News link that mjfdl posted earlier had this to say about that...

"The communities are terrorized," said the homeland security director, Tom Ridge, and said federal investigators don't know whether the sniper might be a domestic or international terrorist or is a working alone.

Asked whether there were links to al-Qaida or other foreign terrorists, Ridge said, "I don't think we can foreclose that. Certainly, nobody in the FBI or the White House has foreclosed that."
