Now we get "Agent quizzed in Starbucks hearing" on page C3 of the January 13, 2000, Washington Times and "Statements Challenged in Starbucks Triple Slaying" on page B2 of The Washington Post the same day. Not until the 11th paragraph of the 13-paragraph Times article do you get to the real news, the item that should have merited a front-page headline:

"Mr. Cooper confessed to the killings to Prince George s County detectives after he was taken to Maryland, but [FBI Agent Bradley J.] Garrett testified yesterday that Mr. Cooper recanted his confessions when he returned to the District on March 16. Mr. Cooper was brought back to the District after being charged with the Starbucks killings. "He said: I admitted to everything under the sun. I said what they wanted me to say. They didn t advise me of my rights. My statements will be suppressed. I know my rights. Mr. Garrett testified regarding what Mr. Cooper told him."
