``We were looking for a white van with white people, and we ended up with a blue car with black people,'' said Washington, D.C., Police Chief Charles Ramsey, whose department ran the Caprice's license Oct. 3, just hours before a fatal shooting in Washington that has been tied to the sniper suspects, John Allen Muhammad, 41, and John Lee Malvo, 17.

So as to create the appearance the police are earning their pay?
Is anyone optimistic that this is going to happen?
I AGREE
Sherlock Holmes would have called all of these pertinent details clues.
HE would have said that it is not just facts but the interpretations of facts that is essential. At least, that's what he said in one of his cases.
It's obvious that a lot of LE working on this case didn't have one, or had personal motivations or orders from higher authority to ignore them.
That's certainly possible, even probable.
I hope the surviving family members sue the INS and everyone else on down that was involved in this fiasco.
DEFINITELY agree.
And, I have no Sherlock Holmes books but I have the 14 tape series with Brother Basil.
So, where do we disagree?
Beyond the fact the car was overlooked several times. Take a look at the letter. The killers were trying to get caught weeks ago.
I saw a criminal defense lawyer on Greta's show last night who really pushed that notion. He didn't know how this man could be executed. He said, well, maybe he had the gun, but there were no witnesses who saw him DO the crime.
I hope the police are combing the trunk of that car coming up with hair, fibers, etc. to place one or BOTH in that trunk doing the shooting.

As it is, the graphic Moose had of the "white van" was wrong. Moose didn't bust this case; the FBI did.
SHHHHHHHHHHHH! We don't want ole Moose to feel bad, now do we? It's racist to criticize those of another skin hue that is except if you are Causasian. If Caucasian, then fire away. Moose needs to feel good and we need to be concerned about his self esteem.
Uh, actually, if recent trends are any indication, the cops can shoot damned near anyone they want and get away with it. Cops are rarely charged with shooting even unarmed civilians. The unarmed Maryland kid who was shot in the face while obeying police orders to get out of the car comes to mind; the thug who shot him is still walking around a free man.
Or maybe that was all a show so the public would not realize just how ineffective the cops are. Ya think?
This results in some truly amazing things. Namely, those of us outside the matrix of PC mind control watch with our mouths agape as otherwise intelligent persons talk and behave as though they don't recognize facts which everyone knows exist around them. Its like a self-imposed game of mental pretend.
You are right on the money. The Left is now and always has been engaged in a war on reality. That is what the struggle ultimately comes down to. To fight back, come and visit.

And they were probably stopped by the same cops each time!
The stops could have sounded something like 'Hey Muhammed! How are you and your handsome son doing tonight?' (Wink, wink.)
'Man you guys are in a bad place tonight, again. Yeah, we're looking for those vicious white guys in that white truck. You see 'em?'
'Hey, the way you guys are always around, we might start to think you're the snipers! Naw, just kidding. The profilers say these perps are white and they're never wrong. Yeah, they know their stuff. Well, that's why they pay them so much. Ha, ha.'
'Sorry to stop you guys, again. Hey, we have to stop everybody. Just doin' our job. Nice to see faces we know, though.'
'Alright, well move along now and be careful. Keep your eyes open. Let us know, if you see anything. Whatever you do, don't try to be heroes. Just call us, you hear? Good, wouldn't want any more innocent folks gettin' hurt. You two make such a cute couple and all. Yeah, yeah we guessed. No problem. None of our business. It's not like you're killing anyone else. Right?'
'Hey, still didn't find yourself a backseat? That's tough. Keep lookin', yeah. And you guys should really get that hole in the trunk fixed. It's going to be real cold soon. You guys will catch your death. Hey sorry, didn't mean to say that. Slip of the tongue.'
'Be careful in those rest stops. Keep your windows up and doors locked. If we see you, remember we owe you a coffee.'
'Alright, later guys. Yeah, yeah, allah be praised to you, too. Stay safe.'
'Yeah, we'll catch those animals. Don't worry. We're on it. Whatever it takes. How many white guys can there be driving white trucks?'
LOL!
When Templar accused you of making assumptions, it seemed you backed off a little. Especially when you said that assumptions can work both ways.
I believe that everyone, including you, that thought that Muslim terrorists were behind these attacks weren't making assumptions at all.
It was an obvious deduction based on the facts of the case.
As Sherlock Holmes would say, "Elementary, my dear Watson." ;^)
