TACOMA, Wash.

[Braak]

Now, we have a name...

[Reagan Man]

Already posted here.

Something tells me these guys are registered Democrats.

"John Mohammed"... ah, a nice Irish-Catholic name, I'm thinking.

[M. T. Cicero II]

Yep we do: John Mohammed!

[ConservativeMan55]

This guy changed his name, much like John Walker Lindh changed his name to Abdullah Mohammad Shiekh or something like that.

Police want to question Lee Malvo [Malveaux?] (17yr and citizen of Jamaica ) and John Mohammed [or Mohammed Williams?](42yr). Mohammed former soldier at Ft. Lewis with 84th engineering corp and stepfather to Malvo. Both men are thought to be in 1990 Chevy Caprice with NJ plate NDA-21Z.

It was reported on our local news that they also were interested in two people in Bellingham, Washington.

I had the feeling this was a wider conspiracy..
The police knew about much of this all along, and only now they feel confident enough to tell the press about it.
I had a bad feeling about this....

citizen of Jamaica

Like the shoe bomber...

[ConservativeMan55]

I thought Richard Reid the shoe bomber was from England?
He's probably from England, with connections to Jamica.

[RightOnTheLeftCoast]

You're right. Per http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk/1731568.stm, he was born and raised in London of an English mother and Jamaican father.

Harrumph, the HTML robot interpreted my comma as part of the URL. If you go there, get rid of the comma and the BBC story will load.

... a source said the stump would be returned to Washington, D.C., for analysis.

I know this is proper procedure, but something about sending a tree stump clear across the country for analysis strikes me as amusing. Talk about central planning, etc.

I swear to god I thought I heard Chief Moose say "discharge" when he meant to say "this charge".

Please tell me I am wrong.

[Capriole]

Idiot writer doesn't even know how big this country is. The article refers twice to Tacoma and Washington being 2000 miles apart. Geez.

[Fabozz]

"This guy changed his name..."

True, but I doubt that he changed his name to "Mohammed" when he was inducted into the Klan, which is more or less what the FBI profile released yesterday (40-year-old white male loner NRA gun nut) implied. With that name, and a Jamaican stepson, he's prettly clearly an American-born Black Muslim. Lone nutcase or terrorist has yet to be determined.

And a face:

Be on the lookout for above perp.

al-Qaeda trained...but who trained the trainers?
