#1 he converted to Islam five years ago.

Ah yes, here's the kicker. Another disaffected youth. Let me guess, his heart became attached to AQ, shortly after 9-11.

#2  A photo has surfaced of Anderson wearing what appears to be a nazi-era German army field cap. This matches well with Anderson's high school yearbook photo as published by AP.

This is from a firearms website devoted to shooters of the British SMLE rifle which, oddly enough, was well-known for killing Muslims and nazis. (I own two SMLEs, including one of the rare "jungle carbine" versions)

#3 I hear Leavenworth is pretty in the spring time.

#4 The really careless thing was that his demeanor and behavior, . . . didn’t fit with the community

huh? so he should have simply been more careful?

#5 Forgive my ignorance, but I thought Arabs are Caucasians. Do you mean he doesn't appear to be of Middle Eastern descent? But why is that important? Whether he's a Muslim is important. Not what he looks like.

I say this because I believe if we're thinking of "Muslims" within some particular visual parameter (i.e., dark, hairy, homely), we're not going to be as alert as we could be.

#6 Quana, you're right they are considered caucasian (at least the military categorizes them that way). Prolly shoud've said he looks anglo-saxon.

#7  Yeah, what Jarhead said. The reason I brought it up was to point out that profiling is a fuzzy art at best and that jihadis come in many colors.

And speaking as one who lives there, Leavenworth does look quite charming this time of year ;)

#8 Dan--Oh, I'm sorry! I don't think any of us realized you were in there.

I'll FedEx the cake with the file this afternoon. Hopefully we'll spring you by tomorrow night! ;-)

#9 Dar: Nah, that would take too long. I'll get a team of horses, you bring a strong rope to tie to his cell window bars.

I saw it once in a movie, so that means it'll work...

#10 Michelle Malkin over at NRO has several of his postings from usenet. He's pretty pathetic.

#11 The region's politics is the tip-over reason why I dropped Washington state from my list of potential places to live. I love the climate, the terrain, etc., but when I discovered that the atmosphere there was such that it had supported a Palestinian daily newspaper, The Palestine Chronicle (which today seems to be offline - demised, perhaps? one can hope...), I knew that ex-flippie + grunge + PaleoSymp was a combo I would not enjoy.

#12 .com--One thing that I noticed on the new Topix news site is rather interesting. If you click on the news link for an area, like Seattle, you can scroll down that same page and get a listing from Amazon of the most popular titles delivered to that area. Seattle lists Al Franken and Micheal Moore as being #1 and #3 currently. What do you suppose that suggests?!

#13 "What do you suppose that suggests?!"
Wow! Rock-solid confirmation!

Hey, Thx for the link - that's actually very revealing. For some reason, they don't list Las Vegas, but do list Reno... High Altitude Baking is #1 -- and Horton Hears a Who! made the list. Guess it's a hotbed of normalcy! WoT? What's that? Are you gonna ride in the Sheriff's Parade this weekend? Lol!

Thx!

#14 Oops, they do have North Las Vegas...
1. Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them
2. The Ultimate Weight Solution
3. Bleachers by John Grisham
4. Dude, Where's My Country? by Michael Moore
5. Who's Looking Out for You? by Bill O'Reilly
Uh, oh...

What a hoot!

#15 There is a "generic" Las Vegas link... doesn't show on the main left menubar for some reason.

1. Of Rats and Men by John L. Smith
2. Madam: Inside a Nevada Brothel --LOL! Go figure!
...
6. Mucusless Diet Healing System --I don't even want to know...

#16 Jeeez.... Pear Buck's The Good Earth is number 3 in Tallahassee.... it's a small market so maybe American Lit semester II is kicking in or something.

#17 If you read the requirements for being a good Muslim, then compare them with the first ten amendments to our Constution (the so-called Bill of Rights), you see that Islam is incompatible with US citizenship.

Dan, I've been through Manhattan a dozen or so times, and have a good friend that lives down near Lawrence, but nothing in Kansas calls to me. You need to scrape all those sand hills into one good mountain before I'd feel at home!

#19 Don't knock the Kansas plains until you have enjoyed the vast skies and the solitude on a hot June day :).

#20 If Al Queda is seen tromping around Afghanistan singing the Washington State fight song, they'll really have this bastard by the balls
