Not according to the article. They had someone whose fingerprints did not match, but they arrested him anyway.
heh. Probly so.
Truth is, before 9-11 with the actual hijackers there were darn few dots to connect. None of them had done anything all that noteworthy, let alone illegal. The things that look like dots now are only so in hindsight.
Specifically, the unusual similarity between Mayfield's fingerprint and the fingerprint on a bag of detonators found in Madrid confused several fingerprint experts. FBI laboratory examiners identified Mayfield's fingerprint as matching a print found on a bag of detonators connected to the Madrid commuter train attack, which killed 191 people and injured almost 1,500. A court-appointed fingerprint expert also misidentified the prints.
The misidentification wasn't found until later. When he was arrested, it was in part because they believed they had a matching fingerprint. He was not arrested in spite of some knowledge that fingerprints didn't match.
No use argueing with you. You are one of the people I was talking about in my first post. You have proven it over and over and removed all doubt.
Nice not talking to you then. Let's get together and not talk again real soon. :-)
Without hindsight, they would look like racial profiling and harassment.
Yep, just wait until Pres Hellary and AG Schumer are in charge!
Duh! It's called common sense moron. We are not quite ready to commit national suicide yet. Who writes this crap? Oh yeah. The enemy.
Amen brother. You are one of the few that get it while the others bleat away.
Is that a trick question?
