FBI on the Virginia Tech Shooter: There is no indication that this is an act of terrorism...however

The FBI: There is no indication that this is an act of terrorism; however every avenue will be investigated."

I love these kinds of pronouncements from the FBI. If there is no "indication that this is an act of terrorism", does that also mean that there is also no indication that this is NOT an act of terrorism? They say that they still have not identified who the killer is, so why announce that there is no indication that this is a terrorist attack if you don't even know who the killer is? For all we know it could have been Osama Bin Laden himself.

And why does the media seem to have a intense disinterest in who the killer is, other than to announce vaguely that he was "Asian." ASIAN! that could be almost anybody...the implication is that he was not Anglo or black. Hmmm.

Was he even a he?
Was he a student?
Was he a foreign student?
Was he here legally?
Was he Christian, Jewish or... Muslim?
Was he a Timothy McVeigh type?
And what was he motivated by?
A love gone bad (domestic dispute)?
Violent video games?
Bad grades?
The love of Allah?

UK Daily Mail believes it has the full story: A lovers' tiff in the dormitory... then the university killer began his rampage

And then there is this item that will undoubtedly be the subject of debate down the road: Virginia Tech lobbied against students being allowed to carry guns on campus

New leads on the gunman? Authorities are investigating wheather the gunman was a Chinese man who arrived in the United States last year on a student visa. The 24-year-old man arrived in San Francisco on United Airlines on Aug. 7 on a visa issued in Shanghai, the source said. Investigators have not yet linked him to any terrorist groups, the source said.
