#2 OK. Here it comes... cho's senior thesis. another newscylce that is "mine, oh (Sandra Oh) , mine".
If I am king of common sense, I say "flush this down the toilet and never let anyone see it".
If I am president of news programming for NBC, I say, "put on some more coffee, call home and tell your family you are working overtime tonight".
And some little "sullen loner" somewhere is thinking "how will I top this?"

#3 It's looking pretty bad for the college authorities now. How they didn't remove this certified space cadet from the college is a mystery. And allowing such people to buy guns is probably not the smartest policy of all time either.

#4 Listening to the Fox clips- cho ranting and raving about the "rich", "priviledged", "trust fund kids"... dude, your at VT, (and i mean NO dis to VT, or who I about to point out), but the "rap" cho is "rappin" would be better suited toward UVA...but I guess that didn't work in his senior thesis manifesto.
Sorry cho, even your "manifesto" gets a C minus.

#5 And... the return address on the package to nbc was to: A. Ismael. Who mailed it? Tape at Post Office to show the perp at 9:01A?

#6 What we know:
Perp planned a combat style mission to take out as many people as possible.
Perp had ishmael ax written on the inside of his forearm.
Perp signed ishmael to his death note.
Perp ranted against western society.
Perp sent video to NBC, ranting about you "f@ucking his brothers and sisters"
Perp ranted about Christianity.
Perp shaved his head prior to video creation.

Does any of this sound familiar. Helloooooooooooo.

In a post 9/11 world I am disappointed at the failure to connect the dots.

I do note the lack of ranting about Jews . Maybe that is being held back by NBC and others.

#7 How they didn't remove this certified space cadet from the college is a mystery.

No mystery if you've been through the drill. Academics are value free, relativistic whores. Just show them the tuition. They don't care what kind of Lord of the Flies world their campuses turn into for the students as long as they get their tuition. They won't compromise the privacy of anyone and they will protect any thug whose account is current.

#11 NBC just changed the timeline on when the Cho package was received by NBC. We were originally told that it arrived Wed. morning. Now Drudge links a MSNBC web article with this :

NBC News President Steve Capus said the network received the package in Tuesday afternoons mail delivery, but it was not opened until Wednesday morning. The letter carrier noticed that it bore a return address from Blacksburg and alerted NBC security officers

So NBC had the package for more than 12 hours before the original Wed. statement. When were the Feds notified?

#13 Perhaps the FBI should take the fingerprints of every NBC technician, mail room flunky, and office worker with access to the package just to make sure that all prints are accounted for. And the paw prints of Brian Williams' little dog, too.

#14 Did he shave any other part of his body before the massacre?

#15 The freak should've should've mailed it to ABC. They'd have put it, right next to Terry Moran's stuff.

#16 I wonder if Katie Couric has one of her interns out frantically prowling the streets of NYC looking for Korean kids with shaved heads?

On Fox they were saying that the cops were praising how carefully NBC had handled the items.

#18 In that case, just imagine how ecstatic LE would have been if NBC had simply turned the sealed box over to the FBI.
