You ought perhaps mention that this link contains VERY GRAPHIC pictures that some people may rather not view.

Thanks for the warning, MW. I didn't look too deeply into the website. I don't think mine have any disturbing graphics, but beware; I didn't examine mine too closely either.

It's ok - I wasn't complaining (I've seen that picture on another website), but I always think it's best to warn posters if a link contains 'sensitive' material.

Seems he is an extremist. He has interesting ideas about what Islamic terrorists might do next though...
I don't know why terrorists don't embark on an assassination campaign as he suggests. From their perspective it would seem a highly successful prospective strategy, but this guy shouldn't be giving them ideas!

SBF,
I am fairly sure this guy didn't invent the idea of publicity assassination as a vehicle of terror. While the majority of victims were "just" American citizens, 9/11/2001 was an example of publicity assassination on a huge scale. The concept has been in use ever since before there were Hashishins.
All terrorist assassination are political assassinations, whether or not the targets are political figures. Terror is created when the common populace is under the belief that no one is safe. There is not a great leap of logic involved in concluding that one very effective way to create terror is to assassinate several high-profile media darlings in a very short period of time. Powerful icons to whom ordinary people feel drawn would be the selection list of terrorists so inclined.
Which is why I believe this person's list is rather warped, even though his prediction and idea are rather solidly based in a probable scenario. For his list, he selected people that are high profile, but the average Joe and Jane do not feel connected to them.
If you want to consider a more likely list, Oprah would top the billing. Several strata outside the average citizen's income, for sure. But she has engendered a general connection of personality between herself and her audience. Whereas (with the possible exception of Bill O'Reilly and Anderson Cooper) the ones who made this fellow's list are quite distant and very few feel a personal connection to them, that distance is not present in the case of Oprah Winfrey, Jon Stewart, Harrison Ford, Mel Gibson (despite his recent debacles), Garth Brooks, Judith Sheindlin ("Judge Judy"), Tom Brokaw, and person's of this sort.
In times past people like John Denver, Woody Allen, John Kennedy Jr., Lily Tomlin, Carol Burnett, Audrey Hepburn, Carroll O'Connor, Richard Roundtree ("John Shaft" waucka-chicka-wau-wacka-bauw ) (You just can't say "John Shaft" without the "waucka-chicka", it is downright unamerican), Richard Pryor, Jerry Seinfeld, Johnny Carson, Robert Redford, Paul Newman and many others would have made such a list. Anyone with icon status but shy of God-like status would make the list. The concept is not new, and I seriously doubt that even the potential assassination of the specific persons mentioned on that Web site were first conceived by the gentleman with the conspiracy theory Web site. I am sure he isn't giving the terrorists new ideas.
For maximum impact several targets would be hit nearly simultaneously in many different locations. I don't think the possibility of these scenarios has missed the attention of powers that be. This fellow didn't warn them about it, they already knew. I doubt seriously that those likely to be on such a list would credit scenarios like this as likely. I am sure that the fellow didn't warn the public about it, because (1) the public isn't at direct risk and (2) his Web site is not very appealing so it is unlikely very many people would even read it.
Respectfully,
AuldSoul
