Rodent Regatta

They’re bringing in the high tech aircraft to watch the D.C. area. One report said that equipment on one of the planes is capable of pinpointing a muzzle-flash from extreme altitude and then tracking the target.

HERE’S A LENGTHY story suggesting that the government is taking the possibility of terrorism in the D.C. sniper case more seriously than it appears. I certainly hope so. But I’m kind of tired of this pattern of treating terrorism as almost unthinkable. That sounds like what’s at work here, and it’s irritating, as Matt Welch wrote after the Hadayet/LAX shooting, to be treated as ”children who need to be lied to.”[Instapundit]
