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.

[GRRRRR]

Usama...Bin....LADIN

[theophilusscribe]

Have the Black Panthers ever killed other African-Americans in this manner?

[Dog]

CNN better start reporting the Bama angle ....to many other sources are reporting it .....for them to deny it...

[TexKat]

Hope no one minds. I'm an early bird.I definately do not mind. I haven't gone to bed yet.

Will have to take my daughter to school in a little bit. And don't want to go to sleep until I hear the Moose conference. I've got a long haul.

G'mornin'

Jeez - I hope this is the end. A line comes to mind from "The Marathon Man" - "Is it safe?"

And I kind of feel like the Dustin Hoffman character having a tooth drilled without novacaine after last night :-)

[Ready2go]

LOL....most of us haven't been to bed yet. We covered the night shift for you all :)

[spectre]

So do we change calling them "serial killers" to "Terrorists"?

I was hoping - took something to be sure I'd sleep and still got up at 5:00! Have a long day and can't stay here beyond 8:00. Is it sacriledge to say I'd rather stay here than see President Bush at a function in SC (who I love, but I have my priorities straight!) If I wasn't committed to driving others, I think I'd be sacriledge! Sleep tonight - I'll think of your cartoon as I drift off....

>> Or maybe not such a coincidence<<

It activates the next cell.

Once apprehended, they should have been held incommunicado.

[TomGuy]

Yeh, no composite...for reasons.

Same with the license. At least a partial license number was known days ago, but wasn't released...for reasons.

Then, last nite, 2 hours AFTER the license was finally released, the suspects were apprehended.

Makes you wonder: Had they released the sketch/composite and license DAYS ago, these perps might have been apprehended a lot sooner.

[Flyer]

a white guy's pictured would have been plastered all over the place.

Remember the "sandy haired" guy? They didn't have a problem sharing that image.

[livius]

It's very possible that the "New Black Panthers" knew or suspected something about this.

Remember, the Portland cell (the city Moose came from) had some former Black Panthers who had become Muslims.

I guess turning Muslim lets double your hate! It's a real bonus deal.

[Dog]

Rita....there are other minor players ...but these look like the main players..

[Peach]

ladin - first letters equal "like a duck in a noose". coincidence, I'm sure.

[DWSUWF]

"...True. Either these guys were stupid, or they are now going to claim someone ELSE stole the stolen credit card..."

LOL!

Maybe they'll say that allah left it under their pillow.

Which would put allah at the scene of the liquor store heist...

[relee]

CNN just said

No weapon has been found (yet)!

Did anyone hear if a weapon really has been found?

[dinasour]

Whoa!

Precisely, my reaction. That is too creepy.

[Lobbyist]

They will be as tight-lipped as McVeigh was.

[Dog]

Rita......My fed source.....NO AQ CONNECTION.

[Peach]

We worried those strange words were going to release the next cell to spring into action last night too. Hard to get to sleep with that imagine in one's mind.
