It says something about our current political atmosphere that none of those possibilities would really shock me. Personally, I suspect white supremacist groups (a blanket term if ever there was one) - their members have been on a murdering spree of late, and the similarities to Atlanta a decade-and-a-half ago are too striking to be coincidence.
The stark reality of the matter is that we may
never know the truth; and, until we do, the Obama administration is taking the prudent course by not acting on questionable intelligence.
