On the what went right side you forgot to add the most important fact that the truck drivers actually found them.

I work with truck drivers & they were all very proud that night.

Well, don't forget Chief Moose's announcement to the media: The man (or men) witnesses saw were either white or olive skinned, but "definitely not black."

I guess I shouldn't, but I do find it amazing that nothing has been said about this in the national media.

How true!! Hats off to them. No mention of them and the reward that was to be split up with the families. More news on lottery winner who was a fraud.

"What is wrong with these people? Are they getting paid under the table to not do their job...?"

Most INS employees do not wake up everyday thinking up new ways to avoid doing their job or innovative ways to screw things up. Most would do a good job IF THEY WERE ALLOWED AND ENCOURAGED TO DO THEIR JOB. Unfortunately, that is simply not the case. And there is incredible frustration on the part of the employees with not being allowed to do their jobs.

Although there are some corrupt, lazy and/or incompetent employees within the ranks of the INS, the major problem is the political pressure from all levels (local, state and federal) on the INS to not do their job. Whether it is to pander to "immigrant advocates" or the business community, there is a lot of pressure behind the scenes to allow this nonsense to continue. And there are enough shameless sycophants and aspiring empire builders in INS management to make it a reality.

All the police had to do was survey license plates at road blocks after every shooting, feed them into a simple computer program to look for duplicates, and the police would have caught these guys after the second, or at worst third, murder. Equipment to record license plates already exists and is used at toll bridges. Why not add them to freeway overpasses? This is public information; a private company could do this. This information would be commercially valuable as well, for economists and even mutual funds looking to gauge sales activity.

Yes! By all means, let's do that. The Pentagon shouldn't have to wonder where you went today--or what route you took to work this morning. All that info belongs in the dosier they are about to build on you. You have no right to travel freely unless the government knows where you are at all times.

If you don't know what I am talking about, read this:

Pentagon Plans a Computer System That Would Peek at Personal Data of Americans
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/785815/posts

John Gibson has talked about it for 2 days. Hanity & Colmbs even discussed it with their guest. Of course, they won't be able to do all 280M of us at first, but they'll get there. You can count on it.

There's a reason the government won't control the borders or defeat the terrorist states--the politicians and others in power need American deaths to establish their police state in preparation for the NWO.

Hoping to prevent a database from being built of every American is futile. First of all, hundreds of government, commercial, and private databases already do that. Computer technology is so cheap now that a single $120 disk drive has enough capacity to store every name, address, birth date, personality type, employment, and basic history of every American. If you can afford that, you can guess what the NSA can afford. It wouldn’t surprise me if they store every long distance phone call made and have it scanned by computer for keywords. I’m sure they have found the Internet to be a treasure trove. And since they employ the majority of mathematicians they’ve probably figured out by now how to factor very large numbers. Anything based on public key cryptography is probably an easy read for them.

The courts have ruled that when you are out in public there is no expectation of privacy. If you’re driving a car on a public highway then anyone that wants to can observe you and record that. They don’t even need your license plate, a computer-determined video signature could identify you. If a private party can do that, so can the government. Today’s bumbling law enforcement may eventually be able to catch crooks again.

The only safeguard we have against socialist tyranny is gun ownership. A small handgun cannot defeat an army, but if enough of them are in circulation Hillary will eventually lose power through “attrition” of her officers.
