suspects, it s a difficult effort. neil: do you get a sense when the president referred to this and jumped to the terrorist thing and he may be right and more often that is right, that french authorities are avoiding that for the time being? what do you make of it? i think it is a terrorist attack, this isis target ing a high profile event. there were two shooters. there were ak-47s involved. they were isis styled attacks. my assumption is, that s what happened. neil: it does change things if it s not just one nut case. when there s more than one, you start talking coordination, plots. the nerve level goes up. what do you think? i think it s right. we have to find out if these were individuals inspired by isis or were they directed. as i discussed with you before,
