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.

It's pretty scary to hear the stuff coming from the New Black Panthers and knowing that it's not politically correct for the media to even bother reporting the dangers. I hope this sniper will wake people up to militant muslims in America, but I fear he won't.

[mware]

I hear you. In chat last night prior to the capture all I was hearing was angry white man, NRA member, right wing conservative.

Seems this is a guy who has been very vocal in his hatred towards America.

This morning on Curtis and Kuby radio show, Kuby is giving his mea culpa's.

[Lion's Cub]

See 292

[Peach]

ex-wife or wife owns white truck? there had been reports of a woman involved. hmm

[mewzilla]

So are ABC and NBC still elaborately ignoring any anti-American angle? Haven't heard them even allude to the Seattle Times' story...

[wewillnotfail]

Is is Camp Zero or Camp Ground Zero? I've seen both.
If it's the latter than their choice of names is really
sick considering Ground Zero was what the rescuers called
NY Trade Center site.

[relee]

It's only a days drive between the two places.

[Monty22]

What the hell is up with E.D's hair on foxnews.. She needs to stay away from the electric plug.

[ET(end tyranny)]

When he said about no one will threaten our children without suffering the consequences or something to that effect, I just knew this would break soon.

I didn't catch that one! But, then again, I'm a bit sleep deprived!! Let's hope when we see Moose next, he's standing a little taller and not slouched over with the weight of the world upon his shoulders like we've seen him so much recently!

[Lobbyist]

You're right about the kid spilling his guts.

[CharacterCounts]

The 17-year-old's fingerprint on the Tarot card was matched. Where did the LEO's get the fingerprint to match it WITH? Earlier arrest? If so, what was it for?

Don't know. But LE is looking a loy better than so many of the Keyboard Kops attacking them on this site have been claiming.

[looney tune]

E.D. going for the Farah Fawcett look. charlie's angels

[wewillnotfail]

If that's true, why are the feds searching it? Are the feds searching it? and wwhat a nightmare to try and find these particular bullets in a place like that? The ground is probably 50 percent lead!

[Lobbyist]

It is scary and will get worse.

[wewillnotfail]

I wish I could hear that. Isn't he also on TV some where?

[BohDaThone]

as to the "composite"; -- remember, most of the early "witnesses" were pointing to "olive-skinned" peole, which these folks are surely not;

My impression is that they did not get them from a description. They tracked down the name and identity, then got pix (probably from Army, LE, maybe Malvo's school) and released them

releasing an "olive-skinned" compostite early on would have thrown everyone off.

[FootBall]

Bullets from tree match the snipers bullets...but good question, WHICH shooting? Don't know.

NBC news saying they are being charged on 6 counts of murders. What about the other 4?

[Miss Marple]

For some time I have been saying (and getting flamed for saying it) that PROFILING DOESN'T WORK. The known terrorists that we have apprehended include a white American suburban guy, blacks, an Hispanic, a British white guy, and native born Americans of Yemeni descent. The only thing all these people have in common is that they are Muslims, and should anyone choose to not declare his religion and dress in Western garb THERE IS NO WAY TO SPOT THEM.

I have also been concerned that AQ has joined up with Black Muslims, gangs, and eco-terrorists/anarchists.

If there is a large contingent of Black Muslims involved in this type of activity, we are going to have eeven worse problems. I hope I am wrong.

[OReilly]

Where did the LEO's get the fingerprint to match it WITH? Earlier arrest? If so, what was it for?

One report said I matched a print on a piece of paper from the Montgommergy Ala Shooting

[Lion's Cub]

About that fingerprint--maybe at INS when he came here from Jamaica?
