Thanks, Kim! Do you remember the Paul Sperry story about Chief Moose's knowing after the first sniper attack that the shooters were probably two black guys in an old, dark car and NOT a white guy in a white van? Sperry said the detectives accused Moose of allowing the public misconception because when he'd accepted the chief position he'd agreed to no racial profiling because he wanted to lower the black prison population in Maryland. Remember that story? Please say yes, because I can't find it.

Montgomery County Police Chief Charles A. Moose has resigned in order to free himself from the ethical concerns surrounding his plans to write a personal account of last fall's sniper manhunt, County Executive Douglas M. Duncan announced today.

Moose, who became a national hero as the sturdy face of the sniper task force, said in his three-sentence resignation letter, "It has been an honor and a privilege to work for you and with you in this beautiful county."
