Beltway Sniper Shootings-FR Commentary-Wed., Oct. 23,2002
Fox News, CNN, Press Conferences | October 23, 2002 | Fox News, CNN, Press Conferences

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

All seems quiet since yesterday's news the shooter may target children specifically. It was released on various news outlets the shooter's 3-page letter to police was in broken English and threatened extreme violence. Police announced an electronic transfer of $10m as requested by the shooter was not possible but other options for transfer remain open. No one seriously believes police will actually give the shooter $$, but police are trying to keep a dialogue open with the shooter in an effort to capture this monster.

That would explain why the media nitwits don't look too triumphant.

Ok I am brain storming here and I didn't stay at A Holiday Inn Express last night

My take is that the "Huge Bust" and "Shocking News" MSNBC is talking about is that the "Group" is all American's, All former Military, and ARE now Muslim and terrorist sympathisers

FOX saying AP is stating that if this clue checks out, it may lead to another clue. Sounds like a scavenger hunt to me.

MSNBC: "When this comes out, people will be stunned!" Not AQ or terrorism.

I think MSNBC is going to look pretty foolish for making that kind of statement.

I won't buy anything if it says "iron." Uh nyuh. No way. I spent my misspent youth earning money ironing my dad's white cotton dress shirts because he didn't like the way the dry cleaner did it. Steam makes my hair frizzy.

Who else is made of wood, tried to disguise himself with a beard, has many reasons to be angry with America, and helped to invent the rifle?

This is going to be a big one!!!

MSNBC just said that the investigation is STUNNING, an excellent case of police work. They corrected themselves.

Ok - "stunning police work" - fascinating, excellent police work. Not saying these two men who are the snipers

AP quoting "A clue (the stump) if checks out may lead to another clue." Per Shep at FOX.

Whitcomb now says he doesn't mean stunning in the way msnbc portrayed it just we will be stunned at the great police work.

He's backtracking now. "I'm not saying these two people are related to the sniping in dc, just that they might be, could be, etc.....

MSNBC: more than one suspect. Whitcomb: "this will be the biggest manhunt of our lives."

For the life of me, I can not think of anything that would be more shocking than what happened on 9-11.

"I was sure it was from one of the "belly bunch."

That would have been me, Yaelle, and of course, Sac (who STARTED the whole thing!) LOL. Or maybe I started it because I misunderstood Sac's post!

At this point, I don't know what could possibly stun us any more than we already are, especially in the last 13 or so months.
