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.

[Mo1]

OK .. that is what I thought too

[TexKat]

This is too sad. Are they drugging these people. I mean I can't see letting someone brainwash me like this.

To be honest with you guys, my son who is in the military had a superior at one time, that kept trying to convert him to become a Muslim. Really this fellow did not know who he was fooling with. He defininately had the wrong guy.

[mhking]

Are these two guys ScapeGoats for the real sniper?

Would make sense...

[justshe]

ROFL!

[FootBall]

No, these are the two responsible. And a couple of losers at that. Sleeping in their car with a 223 on their laps

I think the Step Son was the sniper because he seemed to be the violent one (ref. What happen in Alabama shooting) and the Father was the subserviant....MAYBE? Why wasn't the Chevy Caprice composite put out to public when it was on the Police radar since first shootings.....something doesn't add up.

[yukong]

Great Picture of father and son. This picture proves the old saying:

The family that snipes together, stays together....

[Darlin']

'cause we think only the surface has been scratched ?

[Joe Hadenuf]

Notice that photo you posted is the same one being paraded around the media. Does anyone notice anything about it? It's probably the best photo taken of these two ever. Both smiling, a real family type photo........LOL

You can bet the rent the those that knew these two have offered the media all kinds of photos, yet they keep parading the two smiling faces on Grandmas couch photo

[mhking]

Any suggestions??

Comet and steel wool...[g]

[conservativejunkie]

Well, my T.V. is off and is going to stay that way for a week. I just cnn't take it anymore.I get so angry at the media sometimes that I'd like to squeeze them all about the neck. Fox is driving me up the wall with thier mundane news alerts! I'm going to find a cave to hide in before I truely lose my mind. We are all sitting ducks!

[spiffy]

Agree that Chief Moose di a good job in this unprecedented situation. Everything that he said was carefully scripted by others and he was the one chosen to stay out front. I hope he can take a long vacation with his family.

[Letitring]

I was not political at that time (OKC bombing) or very informed about things. However, when I saw pictures of our barracks, from overseas, I knew it was the same people. Those buildings looked just alike. Then along comes the embassy bombings. Those buildings looked just like the Murrah building in OKC.

[joey'smom]

Oh I come from Alabama, with a rifle on my knee, and I'm gonna be a sniper, in Washington D.C. Oh Osama, don't you cry for me, cuz I come from Alabama with a rifle on my knee.

[TexKat]

Has anyone mentioned the whereabouts of the mother of John Malveaux? Is that really a father, step-son relationship?

[Darlin']

I look for lots of heart warming stories about how he bonded with his step son. < /sarcasm off>

[Yaelle]

Hold on, everybody. While it is obvious that Muslim anti-American sentiments were Mohammed's motivation, and his recent training may have come from a Jihad-camp, we need to consider the possibility that no one else may have been involved in these attacks.

Does anyone have any proof that any special intelligence was used in the DC attacks? What do we know?

He knew how to shoot (big deal, he was trained, dummies can be trained to shoot). He researched his egress from each attack and got out of there swiftly (does that really take much IQ?).

Now, stacked on the DUMB side, he left those stupid calling cards with possible scent or handwriting clues. He started leaving long, illiterate notes with way too much info on them. He called the sniper hotlines multiple times and was out of control with anger. He talked way too much with the cops. He asks for $10 mil to go to a domestic account. The account is from a CREDIT CARD STOLEN AT A MURDER/ROBBERY in which his son's fingerprints were evidence (almost a Darwin award winner).

It looks to me like a TOTAL IDIOT with some training can pull off a ghastly terror. Prove me wrong; give me the evidence of a brain involved here.

[theophilusscribe]

Thank you for the info. I wasn't sure.

[hispanarepublicana]

Once and for all, is it Malvo or Malveaux???? (sources please)

[TexKat]

Fox to explore if there is a terror link next.

[Catspaw]

AHA !!!!! So that's how my bride has done it all these years
