Question about the sniper

[TLHB70]

OK. I am still new to the boards and you may all think that I am pretty crazy after this. However, I had something run across my mind just now and I thought I would ask if anyone else has thought it. Again, I must start by saying that I am from Louisiana but my family has been in Venezuela for 9 months now for my husband's work. (We get to go home in a month after our WDW trip. YEAH! ) That means that all the American news that I get is on the web (Foxnews.com, CNN.com or Yahoo news). We only get CNN International on TV here which does minimal coverage of the American news. I remember reading a few weeks ago on the Fox news site that a guard was missing from Guantanamo. Many had searched for him but couldn't find him. That article stayed up on the site for about a week or so and then I never read anymore about it. I also haven't heard a thing about it on the news. Well, just about that time the sniper shootings started. I know that it is totally far-fetched, but I can't help but wonder if this could be linked. Surely if he guarded the prisoners there he was trained in shooting; he had the military experience. Has anyone heard if they ever found this guy? Has the news in America mentioned anymore about it? I haven't heard or read a thing online here! Has anyone else thought about this possible connection or am I just crazy.

Interesting theory.... I did hear about the missing guard but never heard if they found him or not.

They haven't talked about the guard much recently.

Although if this is a sniper rifle, the guard would not be related.

Sniper rifles take much more training to be able to use.

If this is an assault rifle that is being used, then the relation can be much different.

Yeah that's about the last I heard of him there. Being from Ohio they covered it over here a lot until about 2 weeks ago.

The guard could know how to do it, he may have had training. My dh does or did. I'm sure he's a little rusty now.
