a takeoff from a real Soviet spy named "Goodenov"?

What I gathered from the news conference this morning, if one could gather anything from it at all, is that there was only one witness and they had been discredited.

I recall seeing 2 witnesses in a police car (2 females)being taken down for questioning according to the media.

And what does that tell you?

I don't know about anyone else, but my take on this is that the moment the U.S. military had gotten involved in this thing was the last time Chief Moose (or anyone else who appears in front of a camera, for that matter) had any involvement in the investigation at all. They may as well be telling you that they're going to indict John Wilkes Booth for assassinating Abraham Lincoln.

"It's not the backlash...follow the money. It's the stockmarket, stupid! (Just making a point. :) )"

I understand that the stock market may be a factor but do you really think that we are so callous that it is the only determining factor here.

I sure hope the terrorists aren't reading this board. :(

If they are, then all their arses belong to us.

Just heard there is going to be a special "America's Most Wanted" on tonight regarding the sniper.

Will Whoraldo be a special guest? (Oops, guess not -- they shipped him out to Bali after the VA Hooter's fiasco.)

I saw Walsh on Fox this AM -- his show is sooooo important to this investigation that Fox bumped it for the baseball series -- his nose is out of joint.

Since there are no credible witnesses, and virtually no evidence, why would anyone want to watch Walsh? It's not as if this case hasn't been plastered all over every media outlet for two weeks...oh, yes -- AMW takes anonymous calls. Will anonymous calls be more "credible" than the on-scene witnesses who are now not "credible?" Stay tuned.

I cannot see what you tried to post.(Reply 43) All I see is a box with a red X in it.

Do you know if the problem is on your end or mine?(Assuming, of course, that what you posted is not a box with a red x in it)

"Now, we have only one witness and he can't be believed? Smells...smells"

Now Fox news is reporting that the one witness that police say they had has been purposely giving false statements. What to place bets that this is one of the people that is claiming they saw people of ME extraction?

Instead of endless speculation, lets see if we can reason this out.

We have two options, the witness reports are either credible or they are not. If the witnesses are NOT credible how would that be? Well, eyewitness accounts have proven to be wrong on numerous occasions. Ok, problem number one. What do the police know which leads them to believe that the accounts are inaccurate?

Perhaps the witnesses all gave such varying descriptions that it is impossible to know which, if any, might be correct. This doesn't seem to be the case, unless the weight given the descriptions in the first place was overblown. *I think this is a distinct possibility given how our media reports in a crisis.

Now lets look at it as if the reports ARE credible. If the reports are good, why would the police retract them? First idea, perhaps they are afraid of a backlash against innocent ME's? I don't give this much weight, more likely to have had that problem after 911 than this instance and it didn't happen much then.

Second, perhaps the shooter(s), once they think they have given enough information away to get caught, will disappear. The police want the shootings to end as much as everyone else, but they want it to end because the bad guys have been caught, not simply run outta town.

Any other ideas?

Eyewitnesses make lousy witnesses. It's a fact. We can't blame the cops for that.

Maybe the perp has been caught and the police can't announce his arrest because he won't be standing trial. He would be treated as a foreign combatant and would be dealt with by a secret military tribunal.

See Post #71 for Step 2 in the process.

I've got a bad feeling about tonite.

Maryland Terps football has a night home game in College Park. So many people and so much traffic.

I'm a fan, but I would not be going to that game...

Well, suppose the witness gave a description of where the alleged vehicle and shooter was, but then analysis of the crime scene (ie. victim) showed that the bullet had come from a different direction?

Also with regard to my Post #71, keep in mind those media reports today about the FBI questioning detainees in Guantanamo today -- I would not be surprised if one of the detainees they are quesitoning is one they brought down with them from Washington, D.C. yesterday.

Three possibilities here, as I see it. First, the witness wants to give that information to distract from the real perpetrators. Why? Is he involved?

Second the witness could do this for personal attention or glory.

Third, the Police are lying. The description is vague but accurate as far as it goes. The witness is involved. The perps don't intend to get caught and let everyone know for sure it was a jihad, but want that possibility to simmer in our minds.

Two of the three possibilities have our witness as involved, which screws up the plan, UNLESS the perps want to be caught.
