Overnite, two men arrested while sleeping in their car at a reststop in MD. John Mohammed aka John Williams and his stepson Lee Malvo. Mohammad is thought to be the likely shooter.

I read that muslims were released on The Moscow Times online....(but "this was not confirmed.")

[mondonico]

I noticed this morning fox news reminded us that women and children were removed from the theater in moscow..but for some reason, they failed to remind us of the muslims that were let go. I heard them say muslims were removed from theater last night. Confirmation?

I saw several reports last night that muslims, children and foreigners were let go.

[Elenya]

Others were pulling the strings.

I think so too. There's such a discrepancy between the level of the whole operation and the 2 losers they arrested. They were the arms. Where's the brain?

[tomkat]

if they're paintballers, it looks like this:

if they have an actual weapon, it looks like this:

if they're part of an armored brigade, it might look like this:

but if they're jihadi pilots, one of these might have been in the trunk:

i report, you decide ....

Apprently they probably got a tip a while ago. Remember they said they had a few people that were under suspicion last week.

He was very specific that credit card wasn't taken, HOWEVER - what if it were a bank card (that looks like a credit card) and would require a PIN. CC's don't usually require a PIN

Everyone, bookmark the link below and read this when things slow down some:

Don't believe what you hear on a thread. Early this morning the credit card theory was shot down. Of coure a debit card theory could be the Operative word change. These were all "theories" from unsubstantiated sources I heard on Fox from "sources"..Is so much BS floating around I am not even watching anymore. Will wait for facts not Media "my sources say" reporting. Everyone have fun!

[CapandBall]

Usually a .223, but can be had in .308 I believe

[Sacajaweau]

Would sure love to know the grounds for his "dishonerable discharge"!!

I noticed this morning fox news reminded us that women and children were removed from the theater in moscow..but for some reason, they failed to remind us of the muslims that were let go. I heard them say muslims were removed from theater last night. Confirmation?

I heard that last night also on CNN.

[berkeleybeej]

Thank you TK - knew we could count on you.

[Mo1]

I hadn't heard that ..

[areafiftyone]

I wonder if he converted to Islam during the Gulf War.

[TexKat]

Someone in the news conference should say to Moose, Oh Moosey, u got some splaning to du. Please tell us what that duck/noose thang meant. The whole country wants to know. I bet he won't splane.

And unfortunately slimer, we are living in perilous times. There will be more of this and probably things worse. The most we can do is stay prayed up, be vigil and be prepared.

[fight_truth_decay]

Kip..the next 1,050 posts will be repetitive. No one reads them all and says the same thing...with all the unsubstantiated reporting. ;)

[Yaelle]

Good morning, everyone. Is it over? Soon they will match ballistics to this rifle. What I don't get is that everyone said this guy was so smart, and yet he was a total idiot, giving the cops the stolen credit card from his murderous liquor store holdup in Montgomery AL, and even tipping the hotline off to the murders there ("Check Alabama if you want to know how violent we are" or some such).

Also, the police go to all this trouble to deliver that cryptic and careful message about communication (including the whole duck in a noose thing) with him, and he is sleeping in his car the whole time? He didn't seem to know that (DUH!) they had traced his name to his car and had the license plate, so there he was with the plate facing traffic for all to see. Lying there with his little mini-me and and his rifle. Where is the intelligence here???

[Letitring]

I heard he had been muslim for a year. Saying his wife is muslim too, or estranged wife, whatever. Good morning. I have alot of catching up to do.

[m1911]

Hiya - you glued to this one too?
