My guess : The authorities are not releasing the race because the two men are of "middle eastern" appearance, and all decent, right thinking government bureaucrats and officials know that everybody outside their little social circle and alumni association is a rednecktrailertrashxenophobicneanderthal, who'll go out and murder anyone who looks vaguely "foreign" if they have an excuse. Sorta like those broadcasters who forced the "I'm an American!" public service announcements on us post 09/11 : They know all of us "out here" in flyover country are a bunch of trigger-happy morons, so they have to release heavy-handed, maudlin sermonettes over the airwaves to keep us from running amuck. Or to put it another way : Remember that utterly repulsive article from Paul Begala (sp?) in which he basically called all the people in the states that voted for Bush homophobic klan member psychoes. That's how a lot of the most influential, powerful people in the country think about people like us. Like that female thing in the WJC admin, who said (a little before OKC) that what made Vietnam so tragic was the unelite status of the common soldier-"farmboys from the south and the midwest", is how she put it. Elite contempt .

I can't wait to hear the public service announcements.

It CANNOT be Islamic terrorists because Bo Gritz GUARANTEED us last week that there would be no more Islamic terrorism unless we attacked Iraq.

Your entire post is right on. They've fed us lies for so long, they're not sure if we can handle the truth. Ba$tards.
