The entire Washington metropolitan area should sue him. As I see it, if this article is factual, then Chief Moose is guilty of obstruction of justice.
I've attended a half dozen or so conferences, graduations, meetings and the like this spring and every one reflected on the impact the sniper shootings had on us as a community. The number of man hours, the resources and the energy expended managing the situation are incalcuable. Not to mention the affects of heightened stress . We learned a lot about ourselves in the process. We got through it but it wasn't always pretty. Most of us were defiant and carried on. It was our loved ones we worried about.
The timing of the shootings contributed to the anxious atmosphere since we'd held our collective breath for one year after the September 11 attacks. Everyone I know lost a friend or family member at the Pentagon. I had just participated in a moving ceremony marking the one year anniversary of September 11 and we all finally exhaled and began to look forward in a more positive direction. Then the shootings began.
If Chief Moose, in any way, interfered with the investigation and caused the saga to continue longer than it otherwise might have, he should be held accountable.
