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.

Like every liberal, the media are racist thugs, but why should we follow their lead?

[slimer]

More than one has commented like this: Was this a message to other cells telling them to get to work? Reads like he wanted others to know his capture was imminent.

It's going to be really tough if similar type shootings start breaking out all over the place. This may have been a preliminary probing of LEO's defenses in preparation for somethig bigger.

We are living in perilous times.

I think the message was really "Duck duck...Goose!"

It's from a Cherokee parable about a boastful rabbit who wants the otter to think he can catch fish as good as the otter. The otter says, I can catch duck too, and the rabbit claims to be able to catch ducks as well. The rabbit makes a noose and puts a duck in the noose. The duck flies off, dragging the rabbit along. The rabbit ends up falling into a tree stump and getting stuck where he has to resort to eating his own fur (as starving rabbits often do).

LOL I know! My statement had a (not so hidden) meaning too.

[Freedom2specul8]

I am praying that it will be gibberish to other male muslim extremists..

[mhking]

WTOP REPORTING A WEAPON WAS FOUND IN THE CAR

[Terriergal]

Must be a blind girl.

Actually the media IMHO is at least partly responsible for the last 4 deaths. If they had not reported about the Tarot card with the "I am god" on it, the hot line callers would have instantly known that it was the sniper. Because the public knew about the "I am god" wording, the hot line callers thought it was a crank caller. The sniper got mad that the hot line dismissed him and kept on killing.

[Fred Mertz]

Which mosque did Mohammad attend while in the DC area?

Is Clinton, MD where the Malvo's mom lived?

[mhking]

...and Mohammad translates to Michael.

No relation...[g]

IMO, if the sniper requested that Moose read that statement AFTER he is caught, there's no doubt in my mind that it's code to others.

I think that Moose was messing with the snipers head to get him to make a move, to draw them out.

BOORTZ is putting this in the mix H RAP BROWN.

Far be it from me to pick on anyone about their looks...;-) Unless they're evil and ugly on the inside too.

Sweet.

Where's Johnny Cochran???

I heard him on Fox a few nights ago. Evidently he's going out of the defense attorney biz. When asked if he would defend the Beltway Sniper, he made it clear that there was no way.

[ET(end tyranny)]

That is really ironic.

Indeed. Not sure which site, I have been to so many the last few weeks, but part of the reparations plan is to be given a certain portion of the US so that they can create their own nation. Might have been the Nation of Islam site. Too bad we can't tie the shooters in with Farakhan or Jesse Jacka$$.
