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.

[Catspaw]

You bet they're going to dot every I and cross every T. This case is too big to screw up.

[wayoverontheright]

You can bet your last dollar they're not registered republicans!

[Mo1]

I want every "T" crossed in this case.

Same here

[blam]

"The first clue I had that they were not too swift was their demand that $10 million be deposited to a credit card account."

Yup. The demand for money was the first tip that we were not dealing with a bright bulb....but, I did think that they may have been smart enough to say that just to throw the cops off their trail.

[aristeides]

I thought that was Fort Washington, which is about 5 miles or so from Clinton.

They were both being reported on those threads. Both Fort Washington and Clinton. I remember commenting how close Clinton is to Andrews AFB.

[lizma]

You got your family fed???

You're good.

[Vinomori]

If they prove the reported links of the stepson to Belafonte in Jamaica, Colin Powell should do the press coverage that announces it.

[tomkat]

folks, i'm still coffee-deficient.

did anyone catch the name of the rest area on 70 they got these vermin ?

sounds like it might be pretty close to home ..

[texson66]

I didnt mean to imply that only Black moose-limbs were EOKs,
ALL muslims are EOKs!

[rintense]

Is it true Mohammed joined the military AFTER he converted to Islam?

[rintense]

I meant to sat BEFORE he joined the military.

[Mo1]

Hey Mo1, looks like this is domestic AND international terrorism!

Well I was flip flopping back and forth between those two .. LOL

I just could not figure this out .. and I have a feeling we may still be even more stunned before this is all wrapped up

[bvw]

On the remote? (Just joshing.)

[Sacajaweau]

No, but I pretty much thought it was going down when I saw what was going on in Tacoma. I was pretty sure they had cored a slug out and tested it before they cut down the stump.

When I heard they took the rose bushes, that made me think of DNA. I just have a lot of buddies that work outside and hunt etc.. I thought one of my buddies was going to bleed to death when he got swiped with thorns one day.

I have a "three way policy"...that you have to reach a conclusion with no less than 3 original sources. So here, we're looking at DNA, fingerprints and the bullets.

Sac

[rintense]

Are you serious? Malvo is related to Belafonte?

[Carolinamom]

I am really relieved that they have been captured prior to President Bush's trip to Alabama and NC today. Not knowing where they were had kept me worried that even the possibility of an attack on him would have been even more spectacular in the sniper's mind.

[Land of the Irish]

I think it was near Myersville in Frederick County, MD.

[Catspaw]

Well, if I could have put CLINTON in 72 point type, in neon, flashing & with fireworks, I would have :-))

[TexKat]

Deeper into the stories, his second wife notes that he converted to Islam 17 years ago.

Someone is not being truthful. I wonder who?

[rintense]

And they have Malvo's prints on one of the sniper notes.
