1. And he's normally incredibly wrong and stupid.

I figure he's a cover guy.. The shooter is always evil and mentally deranged and the tragedy is unprecedented.. Not sure how many more times he can be trotted out to say the same thing? He's awful. The Columbine book guy is far more credible and factual because he's actually done research to study the shooters. Most are depressed. And the original story of Columbine is so far off from the original media reportings (notice how much bs they have gotten wrong this time).

Btw, teacher rosters are normally on the school website along with their email for parents to contact them. That's how I have found my son's teachers emails in the past. It's not rocket science. How did they get teacher and dead dad and so much so wrong?

2. That man is a dangerous idiot

3. They went to him before they even had the facts about anything.

I think they should go to the guy who plays Dr. Wong on Law & Order: Special Victims Unit.. he's more convincing even though he's only acting.

4. That asshole

was on teevee all morning talking about how significant it was that Lanza killed his mother and then went and killed all her students and all the horrifying psychological implications of that.... And kept saying it hours after the same network showed an interview with the school superintendent where she said his mother was not employed by the school.

5. his msnbc bio...

Clint Van Zandt, a former US Army Counter-Intelligence Agent and a Vietnam War veteran, retired from the FBI in 1995 after 25 years of service, ending his career as the FBI's Chief Hostage Negotiator and a Supervisor in the Bureau's Behavioral Science or better known "Silence of the Lambs Unit." He has traveled the world in response to international hostage situations and has provided criminal investigative analysis assistance (psychological profiles) to law enforcement agencies across the country.

Upon retirement from the Bureau he started his own company, Van Zandt Associates, Inc., which provides behaviorally oriented crisis management, threat assessment and forensic consulting services to the corporate security world. It was after leaving the FBI that he was acknowledged as the leader of the analytical team that assisted David Kaczynski in the identification of his brother "Ted" as the infamous "Unabomber," this work bringing to an end the longest, the most extensive, and the most expensive investigation in US law enforcement history to that time. Clint is also credited with correctly profiling Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh on the day of that fateful bombing.

Clint is a well-known national and international television and radio guest and commentator on various issues concerning criminal justice matters. He has appeared on over 2,000 television shows and has contributed to hundreds of media stories on criminally oriented topics. He has published dozens of professional articles and his newest book, entitled Facing down Evil, Reflections of an FBI Hostage Negotiator, will be available in the Fall of 2005.

Clint, who has also served as a consultant for movies and various television series, has had his life and career profiled in The New Yorker magazine and other publications, to include a 2003 Court TV special about his life, appropriately entitled "The Negotiator."

7. He was all over the TV back in 98, condemning Bill Clinton during the impeachment.

Never mind that there was NO logical connection between his past experience and a tawdry sexual liaison between Clinton and a student intern.

6. And he's such a hack

I was screaming at the TV today when he said that the media was running with stuff and drawing conclusions even when some of it was being dismissed - he was the best example of that.

8. They bring THIS GUY OUT..when info is sketchy and he Pontificates with Disinfo

from his "Handlers" ...BUT...it sets the stage for the rest of the MSM's FAKE REPORTING...until the Real Facts come in.

He's the "Media Staging Guy" who sets it up with shady info until the Big Guns in the Paid Think Tanks and the rest show up to massage the News to fit what they want.

A few Days Later the REAL NEWS Reporting comes out ...but, by then the story is dying out in public views and people are forgetting about it...and so the ORIGINAL MESSSAGE still stands in our Data Base by this "Grand PooBAH: with his big CREDS!

Later, Rinse, Repeat...until we are all so BRAIN DEAD...we GET IT ALL CONFUSED...in our Brains! That's what's sad.
