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.

Maybe someone should ask him if Mr. Blank is going to at least be honored at a banquet with a city plaque, since he has refused the reward money.

I think it is up in the air how the reward money will be disbursed. I heard talk that a person who placed a phone tip may be eligible, too.

Love the truck driver and I have NO doubt he will get recognition.

[OReilly]

I just wanted to see if they would applaud.

How much did you hear, really please answer! This place is so democRAT it should be illegal!

"task force not disbanding." "Work is not done, task is not complete."

I going by the alerts last night. When tey put out the BOLO for these two, and the Caprice. They also said to be on the lookout for a White Celebrity and the Ex-wife, and also mentioned that she had a White Van that was missing.

Nothing has been said anywhere about the car/van or her being found, questioned, etc etc

Thanks katnip! I was wondering if it was AR15/M16 knock-off.

[TexKat]

Slimer I will when I get back, I have to run out and pick my daughter up.

"...and more revelations will be made of some sort of other."

Since this morning, I've been thinking that the FBI may have profiled these two (and possibly others) much earlier and more accurately than is being said. Of course such information was not released because of the uproar, "profiling," a black would create amongst certain groups. This would also explain Chief Moose (a black man) being hung out in front of the cameras so often, even when he didn't have anything useful to say...it was an effort to gain the confidence and/or sympathy of a black killer.

Those of us outside this investigation may never know...

...A Guest on the JOHN AND KEN SHOW on KFI Radio in Los Angeles has just reported that the 17 year old and his mother entered the country in Miami as Stoleaways (sp?)on a ship in Miami. The Mother immediately got work at a local RED ROBIN Restaurant. She has a Nov. 20th INS Hearing in Seattle.

...The Liberal Seattle INS released her 17 year old on his own recog for DEPORTATION on Nov. 20th = He goes bye-bye's.

...The days on NO ACCOUNTABILITY for the INS are now OVER.

[HairOfTheDog]

OK - Well, all, thanks for sharing this wonderful experience! Yeeesh! - I am yawning. Not enough sleep last night perhaps?

[Letitring]

Is that the wife who was a devout muslim?

[Catspaw]

I'm not sure what you wanted him to say. More or less than what he said? Something different? Something else?

[Carolinamom]

Go to Jewish World Review and click on Michelle Malkin's column. She broke the story on this.

[lizma]

did the cop know that a vehicle close to that description had been seen in the shooting the previous week?

From what I can tell and I maybe wrong on the ATB (?) but it didn't come out til later. Not sure.

[commish]

I think so .. the first wife is in Louisiana. Apparently the wife that lives in Clinton, MD is the same one that got the restraining order in Tacoma.

[cyncooper]

Exactly ... and they are acting like .. well that's it .. you can all move along now

Hmmmmm, Chief Moose actually UNDERSCORED that the investigation is not over and several posts were made documenting that---what would you like him to say???

The one thing he did NOT say was "move along".

[cyncooper]

Though of course the media will try to move along--I in no way got the impression the investigation was done--not at all.

[Mo1]

I guess then .. maybe it was me

[HairOfTheDog]

Oh - We wanted meat! Stuff we should know we won't get! Plots, plans, names, Jihadi manifestos... Pictures of the gun hole in the car.... you know... the glitzy stuff!

[shattered]

The way I saw it was that they were and are committed to preserving the integrity of the evidence that they have. They want justice to be done and would not risk talking about the details of the evidence.

Moose said that they would not say anything that would jeopradize(sp?) justice for the victims and their families.

[Letitring]

We'll have to wait for the book/s.

"From what I can tell and I maybe wrong on the ATB (?) but it didn't come out til later. Not sure"

Okay. But this part of the story is really bothering me, and I'd like to see it addressed. I think someone dropped the ball on an important lead and it is possible some people were killed and/or injured because of it.
