Let's keep a live commentary thread going again today. The FBI Tip # is 1-888-324-9800.

I'm sorry. I'm afraid sometimes I post like I'm having a conversation and everyone must know what I am talking about. LOL, my husband complains about that a lot and we are in the same room!

Yes I meant from the sound of the message moose gave, it sounds to me like the caller wants something, or else?

[LisaFab]

Wasn't it reported in the last couple of days that we were considering sending some of the detainees back to Pakistan?

Here.

. The audio was unclear

Audio ??? ... who uses the word audio when referring to a phone call??

[valleygal]

"I think he was afraid to leave..." I was trying to picture that in my head. LOL

"

[valleygal]

Maybe they were taping it.

[areafiftyone]

I wonder if difficulty in understanding the guy means that he speaks with a foreign accent.

QUE? ;-)

[swarthyguy]

Now you're voice profiling, eh? /grin

[aristeides]

Do we know that the communication was via telephone? Couldn't the sniper have left an audio tape at the murder scene?

[bcoffey]

"...last post was directed at you. :)"

I noticed. :)

Coincidentally, Rocky & Bullwinkle was my favorite cartoon show as a kid... That and Crusader Rabbit.

This sounds like what we talked about last night,glad to see a few more on board.Folks,say what you want but I think it's gonna get worse before it gets better.

[Skywalk]

LOL Chris Tucker?!?!?

I don't know, his speech isn't rapid-fire, nor high-pitched. I guess he could pass for an older, wider version of Chris.

"I ain't gettin in no trunk for NO minutes, man!"

[livius]

"Audio" is peculiar. Unless what they found at the phone booth (wherever it is) was a video, perhaps of one of the shootings, just to verify the shooter. For some reason, I think these guys are probably taping at least some of their kills.

Watching (and broadcasting) videos seemes to be one of Osama's favorite activities.

[GOPrincess]

"CNN saying the public is being held hostage."

MSNBC "expert" said she feels that the police may be trying to play by the sniper's "rules" and that putting the sniper in "control" is a bad idea...she would rather the police make public everything they know to enlist the public's help.

Sharing for whatever the idea is worth...

[Naspino]

I've got some wrong numbers before from both whites and blacks before and have had 0 clue as to what they were saying. They don't have to be foreign to be slaughter the english language.

[LisaFab]

Moose's use of the word "audio" is very strange... of course Moose's use of most any word is very strange.

Love it!

[knak]

does anyone know if the schools are to remain closed tomorrow also?

[valleygal]

"unsuspecting illegals"...their white vehicle with ladder rack would be a REAL coincidence if true. What are the odds, statistics guy? :)

[texasbluebell]

Also, Freeper on post titled "Sources: Sniper arrests this morning not adding up" says he saw a screen crawl on CNN that says Gitmo detainees are being moved to Pakistan. Anyone else see this? Coincidence?

OMG, I hope that's wrong!!!!!!!! How the hell can we win this war if the powers that be are going to capitulate to every demand??????

Just catching up again on a long thread, so maybe someone has said something about this, but maybe those running the show (I mean those in DC not Moose etc.) know that the response to our not caving would be catastrophic. Perhaps it's better to cave on this, and then hit them even harder. Just a thought.

Now msnbc saying the 2 arrested this am had nothing to do with the sniping.

[Chad Fairbanks]

Could be...

[Chemist_Geek]

Surely you're joking.

I say again: Grandfather has a long beard.
