Peach, I bet President Bush will have just a little bit of a grin on his face today. It will be uplifting for him for sure.

"...You have me laughing already!..." Thanks.
Sometimes it's either that, or cry...
I try to see the humor whenever I can.

I agree. If police HAD released composites and even the partial license plate, some victims might be alive today. Totally reprehensible. I can see the license plate - they could switch cars (although these two don't seem that smart) but not releasing the composite is inexcusable.

Had they released the sketch/composite and license DAYS ago, these perps might have been apprehended a lot sooner. They and their car were actually stopped on Oct. 8th at a road block, but blacks had been specifically ruled out as possible snipers, so they were not searched very thoroughly. If at all.

"...I believe that there will be weeping and nashing of teeth among that crowd this AM. Of course, the creeps at CNN will lead the bunch..." Give them a few hours to unknot their panties...
Another poster suggested that 'mohammed' will quickly morph into 'Williams'...
That sounds like the house bet to me.

Rita was talking about the terrorist angle with Camp Ground Zero last night - you'd think she wouldn't back off that blockbuster.

WaPo Reporting origin of duck/noose story
The Post has a breaking article including the Native American / folklore origin of the duck/rabbit/noose/stump code words, as was screamed at max volume on another thread. Guess the print media aren't as quick with the google-ing as FreepErs. Here's the story:
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A4422-2002Oct23.html
and the passage:
"The duck reference apparently is drawn from a folk tale in which a boastful rabbit tries to catch a duck in a noose. The duck appears to be caught but flies off, dragging the rabbit along with him. The rabbit then tumbles into a tree stump, where he is stranded."

That depends on what name the media apologists are going to dream up on this story. I can see it now...poor, disinfranchised, minority, never had a fair chance at the good life....etc..etc... If only the white man had not kept them down....blah...blah...blah
Johnny Cochran is probably making phone calls right now to represent these two thugs.

I so sick of the Clinton Era FBI profilers (with all the liberal PC training) saying, "It is an angry White Male".
THERE IS NOTHING IN THE CONSTITUTION TO PREVENT THE UNITED STATES FROM DECLARING ISLAM AS THE EMEMY OF THE STATE.
No religion was given the right to kill in the country. This is not freedom of religion.

Hope he's grinning but also hope he slams Dems for not passing Homeland Security bill. Maybe they would have coordinated this differently and actually, gasp, released a picture of the shoooters! Just had screen crawl on Fox that police have been looking for these two for days!! 'Ya think Tom Ridge would have played it a little differently? And maybe actually made the connection to AQ already.

OK, I BELIEVED the profile too. Of course they let these two go, especially if they were black and in a car, not a van.
Rifle could have been in the trunk. I didn't notice LE looking into car trunks.

Good question. THey weren't working - what were they doing - living off stolen credit cards or something more organized - like AQ funds.
