Al > I am surprised though that at least one of his two pilots didn't just say no, especially with the wife and kid along too. It seems the snipers were not the only crazies around the place. Going off in a light plane in snow accompanied by one's whole family cannot, in anyone's language, be described as prudent. In fact, hardly the behaviour of someone expected to be as "conservative" as a Senator --- even if he was a Democrat. Talking about crazy people who commit violent acts, there could still be many more. cleveland.com >>>"Once it came out that he had a military background, I said this must be a Gulf War veteran," said Dr. William E. Baumzweiger, a Los Angeles neurologist and psychiatrist who specializes in treating Gulf War Syndrome patients. "There is no doubt that a small but significant number of Gulf War veterans become homicidal" because of Gulf War Syndrome, said Baumzweiger, a leading expert on the syndrome. He said in such cases "there was always a bizarre strangeness about the violence in that it seemed to come out of nowhere. There were no personal problems or longstanding history" to explain it. The violence, he said, "appears to just come out of thin air." Experts on Gulf War Syndrome said Muhammad's behavior fits precisely the patterns exhibited by some other Gulf War veterans.<<<

Al, it seems my original suggestion that Chief Moose could soon be in an Eddie Murphy movie is not so far off the mark. bayarea.com >>>Tacked to a tree near the crime scene was a three-page, handwritten letter, adorned with stars, that berated agents for ``incompitence.'' Specifically, the author accused agents of bungling at least six separate phone calls that the self-proclaimed sniper had placed to authorities. ``These people took [the calls] for a Hoax or a Joke, so your failure to respond has cost you five lives,'' the letter stated menacingly.<<< That's, of course, if Eddie will still want him. Anyway, I have no doubt he'll be promoted.
