You missed NBC nitely news with Tom Brokejaw, who linked the sniper weapon {bushmaster}, with the "important" fact that the Bushmaster company CEO, was GW bush's campange manager in 2000

PLEASE tell us that you are joking!

Details regarding the Virginia state trooper for whom they held a Moment of Silence:

Trooper killed responding to report of gunshots

SPRINGFIELD, Va (AP) _ A state trooper on a motorcycle was hit by a tow truck and killed Wednesday while responding to a report of gunshots.

Trooper Mark Cosslett, 40, was pronounced dead at the scene of the crash, on the right shoulder of southbound Interstate 95 in the Springfield Mixing Bowl, at about 5:35 p.m. He and another trooper were headed to Newington to investigate the report of gun fire.

< snip >

Cosslett was a former Marine and a 16-year veteran of the state police. A native of Chesterfield who lived in Alexandria, he left behind a wife and two children, 3 and 2. He was part of the state police motor unit. He was based out of the Springfield interchange office, "and loved it," Caldwell said. RTD

I think he wanted out of the mess he was in, alive. His stated religion calls for Marter.

Campbell described Muhammad as a Gulf War veteran trained as a sniper.

"He was the type that was sent out to spy upon the enemy and kill at will."

Campbell also said Muhammad was a perfectionist with a short temper, who harbored some resentment for his role in Desert Storm.

That lying sack of you-know-what! That guy was nothing more than a MECHANIC.

It sure looks to me like there's a lot of flak trying to obliterate the facts. I still say the witness who lied did it to cover the guy's tracks.

Yeah, Ole Quinnel X (Sp.) has been making the rounds today. The entire Black Panther and NOI community is spinning in circles to day.

This trial would not be autopsy-intensive. But lots of twists and turns... I want to hear the conversations Moose and Muhammad had.

[gasp] If they plead guilty and there is no trial, I hope Moose writes a book. - er - If he hires a good editor.

Well, if that is true he wasn't much of soldier for Allah nor much of a man.

I understand your point .. really I do

I guess my problem is there was so much inaccurate information that was put out .. I guess I wanted to know more of the truth ..

I am sure the police caught the right guys in these shooting .. I am not questioning that

actually Moose might just be a very good writer. He has a PHD and he sure did not get that speaking.

"But what about others .. could others be involved??"

I'm 99 percent sure there are others. These guys didn't do ALL of this on their own. Where'd they get the finances?

Thanks everybody, for this thread. My audio cut out AT THE BEGINNING OF THE PRESS CONFERENCE!! Withought my fellow FReepers, how would I know what happened??

I just checked and there is a thread about this!

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/775368/posts

I am FURIOUS.

There is only one reason to run such a story and that is to link President Bush to the sniper killings. I'm going to be sick------Brokaw personally blocked the Juanita Broderick story from his network as long as he could.
