Yes you do. : )

That type scenerio was pointed out to me earlier....I evidently lead a sheltered life....my mind never even went to the 007/spy novel stuff!! lol

Why does the same street address have two different zip codes?

Thanks for your sleuthing, archy.

[Fred Mertz]

Thanks for your link in #2, GailA.

Is Judge Parker still around here? I hope so.

Smith is or was nothing but a traiter

I'm not so sure. Sounds to me like she was probably on the take, and fake licenses were no doubt a lucrative source of income for her. I'd bet that there a a lot of other non-Arab folks who got their licenses through her over the course of her 9 years at the DL division.

The connection to the Arabs is certainly suggestive, though -- they could well have used her as a conduit. The timing indicates that they are busy cleaning up loose ends.

I think the FBI is probably checking her bank transactions to see who paid her.

And I think they're probably also checking into her associations with black Muslim groups. Wanna bet that Louis Farrakhan's boys are somehow involved?

This might be a good time to suggest to any other "loose ends" that they come forward NOW while they still can...

Since the bad guys were all in custody when Ms. Smith met her somewhat suspicious demise (calling Inspector Clouseau) I trust we're looking carefully at ALL the bad guy's buddies.

Wonder if a rear fender on her car shows any signs that someone spun her out - pretty scary.

Here's Ms. Smith and her buddies from Gail's link. Fine looking bunch. I don't pick up hitchhikers but I'd be happy pick these guys up. Not!

"down" the tube or "up" in flames... tee hee heeeee

[antivenom]

Rocky Hammad...hmmmm worked on the "WT center's sprinkler system"....hmmmm that is interesting...know how to sabatoge or upsurp the system during a HUGE fire....hmmmmmmmm.

I wonder in the FBI are looking into other ragheads who have "JOBS" working in large buildings on the "sprinkler system" or other "systems" that could be made inefficient or useless during an actual emergency....hmmmmm???????

I don't know, unless the 38016 is a possible typo of the last number or a glitch from really bad cop handwriting, which is entirely believable if you've ever looked at Memphis PD police reports.

Yahoo maps shows a 9-digit zip code for 2840 Morning Lake Drive address as *2840 Morning Lake Drive, Cordova, TN 38018-8499* but it's at least possible that the difference between the 200 and 300-series apartments could have their mail delivered by different Post Office branches- without looking at a zip directory map, I vaguely recall some overlap in that approxiimate area, and like the photo cutline said, that corner of Cordova IS unincorporated, so it's possible.

I don't think it's a big or critical detail. But I'm checking....

alright, so this guy is 19 NOW, and he walked across the border from MX to CA, I assume from Venezuela where he was born. In addition, figure that he has Lebenese connections as it says in the paper.

So this kid is born in Venezuela, travels to Lebenon and makes connections (Hizzbolah?), someone is funding this whole thing. They fund his trip from Venezuela to California, his trip from California to NY, and from NY to Tenn.

That is a lot of globe trotting, a lot of $$$, and a lot of shady connections for a 19 year old.

[mommadooo3]

Seems to me there should be some sort of records they can check, 'who lives where, who were neighbors, who got licensed within a certain time frame', and if this dead critter was the one who issued the above.

Hell of a way to die, frying alive. Doesn't say much for the 'brotherhood' of terrorists, does it???

[Texas Mom]

Attorneys for the three defendants were quick to point out that their clients were all in prison at the time of Smith's death.

And? They didn't have any friends? Maybe there were more than just six people involved with illegal drivers licenses?

At least they aren't calling it a suicide.

[Benson_Carter]

what I forgot to put was that DAMN, this kid has been making connections since he was about 15!!!

Same idea, diffent resource- which independently and seperately offer about the same results. Next we'll likely get a Terraserver shot of the apartment parking lot with the Accura in a 38016/38018 parking space, with a camel grazing nearby....

"That is a lot of globe trotting, a lot of $$$, and a lot of shady connections for a 19 year old."

Yes it is, now all we need to know is "who" is doing the financing?

Venezuela...Venezuela....terrorist.... why does that ring a bell....

Oh yeah, that guy who killed 84 people...some of them Saudi Arabian oil ministers....

[Well, when somebody asks for my address and I don't care to give my real one, I've got a better answer than *1060 West Addison St. Chicago, Ill. 60613* now, don't I....]

Nope, it just has one: 60613!

"*1060 West Addison St. Chicago, Ill. 60613*"
