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.

Yowzer....I haven't heard that yet! Who is reporting?

[Letitring]

Vanilla Cokes are delicious. I bookmarked your links on that thread last night Dave. Thank you for that information. I plan to spend hours reading about that militant group.

[Dog]

MSNBC.,Just said ......that Malvo .....refers to Muhammad as his "play father".....not his real father..

Uhmmmm does this mean what I think it means....:-)

[Howlin]

What is the link to Harry Belafonte?

[FootBall]

I wonder if AL-Queda training manual has anything about trapdoor car sniping?

[TexKat]

Does anyone know yet who this guy's mother really is?

The question is, is she still alive?

[mhking]

One of the ex-mrs willliams-mohammad being interviewed next on Fox.

Cool - keep up the play-by-play for those of us who are cubicle-bound...

[Darlin']

Right, they ought to ask his ex-wives about how nice and quiet he was. He took the children from one ex-wife and left the country, she had a nasty court battle to get them back.

[Grampa Dave]

When you mention these places, you bring back fond memories.

My wife's final comment re the Diet Vanilla Coke was what type of sadist would come up with a Diet Vanilla Coke. Then she said those who drank it had to be really sick people.

[mhking]

What is the link to Harry Belafonte?

I dunno -- "Daylight come an' he wan' go home?"

[yukong]

Back early in my LE career our department had a modified, full auto AR15. I got to run through a couple of clips on that baby. I can tell you, I have shot a lot of guns, but there is something special about shooting an AR15 on full auto, through an entire clip.

[Letitring]

Mohammad is NOT the guys stepfather. He is his PLAY father. Both come from Jamacia. MSNBC. What the- what does this mean?

[PBRSTREETGANG]

From what I heard on the radio while ago the police said they almost caught whoever shot those women at the liquor store. He said they almost caught them on foot.

"almost caught" = did not catch

[TexKat]

Roger, over and out.

[Sacajaweau]

Hole in car to take a shot??

Geez....I'm gonna wait for some confirmation on that.

Sounds like a speculation "fill in" for those media folks that can't think of anything else.

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.

I agree with everything in that post. WHY DOES EVERYONE INSIST ON LEAPING TO CONCLUSIONS WHEN THERE IS NO EVIDENCE POINTING THAT WAY?!?! Y'all are starting to sound like Jim Garrison on crack. ;-) I'm not saying it's NOT linked; I'm just saying: Show me the evidence -- the non-CIRCUMSTANTIAL evidence...no more vague interpretations of his duck & noose thing...show me hard evidence this is linked, and I'll say yes, it's linked. Until then, NONE OF US ARE QUALIFIED (unless any of you are currently on the Joint Task Force) to say anything definitive about this; it's all total speculation.

Could be; could be not. The evidence I see points towards two dumb, Muslim-convert terrorist-sympathizers, at best. The hard evidence. So for now I *lean* towards that but I remain open towards anything else -- hell, it could be Castro infiltrating the country, how do you know it ain't that? Or space aliens? Or the second shooter from the grassy knoll back to kick some butt? The mafia? Jimmy Hoffa's ghost...? :-)

Let's keep some perspective... --KL

[Darlin']

Huh ? What kinda trap door could you have in a car ?

[GirlNextDoor]

[Freedom2specul8]

[Dog]

Ringy....you know what this means......:-)
