Well...Linda Franklin, John O'Neill and Valerie Plame all seem

[harrison]

to have have been involved in the fight against terrorism. Franklin was killed by Malvo, the sniper; O'Neill died in 911 and Plame gets outed.

Hadn't thought much about Franklin lately, but what are the odds that this woman would be murdered by a sniper, She was an Intelligence Operations Specialist in the Cyber Division at FBI Headquarters.

What did these people know?

And maybe one of the reasons that Joe Wilson has fought so hard to bring this to light is that this is only way of protecting himself and his wife?

I know it is tin foil hat time, but I find the Franklin death the strangest of all. I mean, what are the odds?

1. I thought it strange since it did not fit the pattern

Wasn't she killed at the Home Depot, most of the Beltway sniper hits
were at gas stations or schools, isolated places with quick egress
w/o many people

[Dhalgren]

2. Yeah, her killing was a little outside the MO...

[MissWaverly]

4. especially if that Home Depot is like the ones here

in that it sits in a mall type setting, there was some talk during
the sniper killings of the shot coming from a clump of trees or
that the killer got away through a small stand of trees to a
residential area

3. it does seem odd

but I really don't know a lot about her. What was her conncetion,
enlighten me, please?

[Shiraz]

5. I remember at the time,

my brother said he thought all the other sniper victoms were to cover up the intention to get her. At the time I thought he was wearing his tinfoil hat too tight.

[MissWaverly]

7. also I think she was the only victim who was not alone

all the rest were either walking alone on the street, going in to
school, pumping gas, cutting grass, parking a bus. (I could be wrong, it's been a while)

6. Here's a snip from her obituary from CNN

http://archives.cnn.com/2002/US/South/10/15/franklin.obit/

Sources told CNN that Franklin began working for the FBI in 1998 and for a time had been an analyst in counterterrorism. She was currently working in the Cyber Division at the National Infrastructure Protection Center at FBI headquarters. The NIPC assesses threats against major structures and cyber networks.

8. There's only one way you can tell...

where Franklin is concerned. Do the ballistics match?
