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.

I don't leave the media scooped anything, but law enforcement managed the leaks last night. The ex-FBI commentators were dripping news like a faucet. Excellent way to manage the media.

Kudos to Chief Mooose for establishing the dialogue that rooted out these killers. After being criticized for being too politie and subservient, there was a method to the madness.

[Terriergal]

You too huh? ;-)

Media reports have been inaccurate and unsubstantiated.
No credit card connection. My theory is the operative word "credit" should be "debit".

Sniper training camp denies knowing these alleged killers.
But slips up and round and bout way admits to training,soldiers/military from overseas. Wonder if any background check is required to take these classes to verify identity.

The "noose around a ducks neck". I wanna hear that one.

Hope the dogs that sniffed out the stump in Washington did so for other reasons then why any dog sniffs out a stump. Been months now since the alleged sniper rented there.

The media is playing Sherlock Holmes..and poorly at that with their "sources"..and who are these sources..leaks?

Just my opinion.

I saw that at the Reparation Rally on C-Span.

Re: Geographical Profiling

FWIW - Someone (no way I can remember who or where) said that with DC as the center of the clock, shootings were 7 to 2 o'clock. He surmised that the perp would be in the 4 o'clock position. Guess what - Clinton, MD is at 4 - 5 o'clock. Interesting, n'est pa?

[dinasour]

Silly question. How do you make a post that isn't to a other message?

[rangerwife]

Really? He spent 17 years in and a PFC? I heard he was in for 10 years...didn't hear the part about him only being a PFC. He must've gotten busted down for something serious...be interesting if someone gets a hold of his service record or his DD-214. You're right, he is a loser if that's the case...hubby was in 10 years and made SFC.

Probably. Columbo, they ain't!

TOLD ya :P I don't say much here, but when I DO, I try to post accurate info :)

[Terriergal]

Interesting... so how would Islamic extremists come across this Cherokee tale I wonder?

[twigs]

The fable goes that a rabbit was bragging that he could catch a goose. He thew a rope around the goose to catch him and the goose took off and the rabbit had to hold on or he would be killed in the fall. The goose flew over a tree and the rabbit got stuck in the tree and was caught instead.

I find this very alarming and probably evidence that this is not the work of two lone gunmen. Sounds like they were set up and the warning is that it's the beginning of a really wild ride for either the police or all Americans. Even more chilling in the light of the Chechnyan take-over of the theater in Moscow.

sure hope nobody catches your 888 typo, gal.
'specially since you're a girl ...

foflmao !

[yukong]

Please understand that I was typing as fast as I could and got most of what he said. But the bottom line is that he is saying that Islam is trying to destroy everything not Islam. It is not arabs, it is islam. Regardless of who is islamic. He said they are the enemy and they are the threat and that they will do whatever to erase everything not islam.

Pretty strong words. And his tie between the local wackos and islam and the skin heads and the extremeist militias and the McVeigh types is the old islamic saying of the enemy of my enemy is my friend

[Terriergal]

Freedom fighters accused in alleged shootings.

What the....?!?!?!

[Mo1]

I saw that at the Reparation Rally on C-Span.

Was that the one with Viola Plummer??

And wasn't Charles Borron saying a lot nasty stuff about America

[Terriergal]

Who are you transcribing?? My son is hogging the TV.

[tomkat]

this bellingham cop on fox is full of shit.
what a PC joke - 'no involvement with any group ... acted on their own ...'

[Freedom2specul8]

Not silly..just erase the name in the "to field". :)

[Terriergal]

BTW this is orthodox Islamic doctrine, to destroy everything not Islam.

[xsrdx]

Bellingham WA police chief stating that perpetrators "acted alone" and do not appear to be working with other groups.
