One certainly HOPES that Dems in Los Angeles aren't still planning to give Islamic jihadists "full inclusion" and integration into their community, and that Berkeley City Council didn't endorse (then apologize to after reneging) Code Pink's anti-war demands just to appease would-be terrorists making threats; on the other hand, it's possible anyone could have hit the military recruitment center yesterday.
Either someone has an axe to grind in their own right against the military ala McVeigh or a disgruntled spouse/parent/similar of harmed serviceperson(s), or is a lone nut case ala Scorpio in Dirty Harry, or is working for one side or the other of the recruitment or Iraq issue(s) at some street/grassroots up to top level; it would seem best if all officials prudently followed up the incident, as it seems to have occured despite State, Local, and Federal DHS operation and thus makes it look like nobody can tell the difference between foreign and domestic assasins, or in alternative is paying much attention to anything at all/attention to anything with meaningful predictive content.
That aside, as a citizen, I am always abidingly interested in bringing such types of felons as bombers to justice and disruption of their apparatus re functioning as quickly as possible; if anyone could avail of even FISA type rules even if it turned out a citizen(s) involved, the goal should be to find the PRODUCT subjects do, not the subjects' origin(s)...only a loon would say "no, don't break a rule to prevent a much greater and provably probable offense(s) from occurring"...especially where ONLY a subject(s) actually appearing liable enough for trial at arraignment are ever taken into custody...I wouldn't assize the rights violation of peeking and disposing immediately of/never ever using otherwise Constitutionally protected data, where mass data ala Carnivore is analyzed to help find needles in haystacks.
Note that differs from HR 1955, which merely authorizes State or local officials in gerrymander fashion to pick up whole neighborhoods just for traditionally campaigning against them, on grounds "Bush won't use PATRIOT against the unchurched like WE say!" or something equally incompetent for tracking more realistic problems...based on overly-broad: "Well, Laden didn't like apostacy or policy, even if he's like just one kind of a broad spectrum of terrorists most people aren't, and those who are have more specific and arcane conducts we COULD be following if we wanted".
