Media interviews of witnesses whicih get published are causing confusion, time wasted trying to clarify, etc.
To: Miss Marple
Is he also the one who said what kind of gun it was?
No, because that guy never claimed to see the shooting. The gun info was direct official stuff from the investigation...as was the cream colored van and the tailight.
It's rather confusing...I suspect we'll have to wait for a WP article from tonight or something for the real story.
To: Miss Marple
This is one odd press conference.

Media, in my opinion, are thinking they can crack this case and win a Pulitzer. Since they are not looking at the entire case nor are they really unbiased, they are causing trouble.
We need to be as careful about their crime reporting as we are about their political reporting.

Game shows? Other than Jeopardy they are sheer torture. Guess you should count yourself lucky she's not addicted to the Soaps!

One is where the gal was shot in the back and survived the shot

There's also the severe problem of witness contamination. If a witness who hasn't been interviewed yet sees a press report there's a strong desire to conform with what is already out there. Witnesses need to be isolated.
To: John H K
Well, you can wait on a WP article to clarify, but in my opinion that is a dubious source.
To: Letitring
One odd post too. LOL. Sorry, excuse my hic-cough.
To: Letitring
Call for similar or any weapon. Give me a break Moose. Now I do think they are just trying to get more illegal gun owners. For all we know, they have the suspect in custody.

I thought more than one person said they saw a hispanic or mideastern person - I saw something like 5 out of 6 ids were non-white and not black?
To: Dog
I've been wondering if the ballistics point to simply one caliber(.223) or to one specific gun. This morning on Fox and Friends I distinctively heard Judge Andrew Naploitano (sp) say the ballistics pointed to one gun. (FWIW)

OOOh. Question about al Qaeda training manual. Is there any truth to this, are you looking into it?
No comments about ongoing investigation.
To: Miss Marple
Question to FBI: re AQ manual found in England:
Moose (not FBI): We're not going to talk about the investigation. That's a matter of national security.... (HUH?)
To: md2576
Did you catch which other 2 are inconclusive? (I just caught that the one where the woman survived is inconclusive.)
To: John H K
several posters have asked you ... whether you do or do not believe that AQ/MEs were behind 9-11 I have no idea whether AQ/MEs are behind it.
I'm doubtful enough that I'd put the chance of that below 50%.
i reckon that statement pretty much speaks for itself,
however mind-boggling it may strike this correspondent.
thanks for the response, finally...

He isn't the ONLY witness to identify two "olive skinned" men.
