Washington Post story this morning makes Gansler and the NY Times look very bad: Muhammad Interrogation In Dispute.

The credit card story is either very bad reporting (entirely possible) or total BS. When's the last time your credit card company became concerned over a $12.01 charge -- especially since, according to the WP, the card had not been reported as stolen?

The acceptance of a woman's credit card from a male probably goes on a zillion times a day in America, though -- I doubt some store clerks would even know, or care, that "Jill" is a woman's name.

Task force investigators complained that they were trying to develop a rapport and may have been able to obtain valuable information....

Exactly what the feds didn't want them to accomplish. I wonder if the New Jersey state cop who was previously assigned their blue Caprice had a chance to chat with them:

*So, you guys were driving my old heap, huh...?*

If they REALLY want to get information from these guys, ship them to Moscow, tell the KG..er, FSB that the guy's name is Muhammid and that he may have Chechnyan pals. Pretty soon, he'll be naming the accomplices in on the Lincoln Assassination....

It appears that these killers also killed a woman in Baton Rouge, La. Another state that will be taking them to task.

Thanks for the info/clarification, Lion's Cub. Good catch!
