What a woman saw:

A 25-year-old woman who was inside Bataclan at the time of the attack said gunmen wielding automatic rifles sprayed the concert hall with gunfire, pausing to recharge their weapons. The gunmen were wearing black-and-white keffiyehs, she said.

this keffiyeh: ” a mix of cotton and wool, which facilitates quick drying and, when desired, keeping the wearer’s head warm. The keffiyeh is usually folded in half (into a triangle) and the fold worn across the forehead. Thus Keffiyeh – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

It’s what you see Palestinians wearing, like Arafat used to.

Wall St. Journal’s Kimberley Strassel has questions for the candidate with the least meat on bones of plans and intentions:

His new TV ad features the tagline “heal, inspire, revive.” This is soothing for an American electorate still aching for the hope and change Barack Obama never delivered.

He has called for government to take responsibility for providing catastrophic health insurance, funded by taxes on insurers. He has called for turning insurers into “nonprofit service organizations with standardized, regulated profit margins.” He’s suggested that he’d be OK with a total tax rate (federal, state, local) of 37%—or 42% for those earning more than $1 million. He’s suggested having government pay for child-care facilities. He has proposed (as recently as January) a “luxury tax on very expensive items, which provides an opportunity for the wealthy to pay down the national debt.”

Mr. Carson spent a long time suggesting he’d replace government health programs like Medicare with cradle-to-grave health savings accounts—to which the government would contribute. When asked about it recently, Mr. Carson said, “That’s the old plan. That’s been gone for several months now.”

Several months. A lifetime in a fast-moving campaign featuring a slow-talking candidate.

He has changed his mind four times on the minimum wage—criticizing Mr. Obama for proposing a hike, then saying the rate did need to rise, then proposing a two-tiered system tied to inflation, and then (at this week’s debate) opposing any changes (again).

Want flexibility? He’s your man.

So it goes. The great man is thinking. Let him alone. And wait, because as he himself might say, patience is a virtue.

Chauncey Gardiner all over again?
