CARIIS I just came back on to say I too don't think it's out and out terrorism. I think that's a viable theory
For me, I don't think it's about killing people, not yet anyways. He has a message that he wants shared, he believes in something that he feels is worthy of world attention. The flag could purely be for that because really that's the only reason we think terrorist, otherwise it's just a siege that would make national news, but not this level of attention. He only wants to Speak with media, Ray Hadley just said that a hostage has also been calling ABC. It just seems to be more about a message rather than killing.
All MOO and I'm well aware that I could be TOTALLY wrong! It's not like I haven't been before
