Sniper suspects charged with murder: FBI searches for new material witness

ROCKVILLE, Maryland (CNN) --The two men suspected of killing 10 people and wounding three others in a three-week shooting spree were charged with six counts of murder each late Friday in Montgomery County.

Arrest warrants were issued for John Allen Williams, 41, and John Lee Malvo, 17, charging them each with first-degree murder in the six killings that took place in Montgomery County. (Read the charges against Williams) (Read the charges against Malvo)

Williams reportedly changed his name last year to John Allen Muhammad, but he has also used at least eight aliases, according to sources.

The arrest forms and charges are for John Allen Muhammad. Every legal form will use those letters but spell it in all capital letters. I hope CNN trips over themselves explaining that spelling it with all caps is a fiction. But their probably too ignorant to even know the difference or why it's a fiction.

But their they're probably too ignorant

[FITZ]

Too bad you don't work for CNN, apparently they have no one who can make their stories accurate.

[Let's Roll]

About what you'd expect from an organization that insists on using the awkward and prissy "hostage-takers" instead of terrorists when referring to the Chechen muslims who were holding a theatre full of people in Moscow.

Ted Turner is probably looking hard for any possible white ancestors for Mohammed.

Compare the handwriting of the Ashland note with Mo-Ham-Head's Name Change Petition.

Newsmax or WorldNetDaily love to expose these CNN dorks as well. Internet reporting trumps desperate leftist propaganda.

From rushlimbaugh.com:

The 24-hour news cycle has resulted in the passing on of information without corroboration or verification. Guests are put on the air who know nothing, or who lie about who they are. Yet look at what these so-called journalists say about Matt Drudge. When Drudge came along, those highfalutin' elitists in the media accused him of having no editor, no news judgment, and no experience.

They said, "Matt, you have no filter or training. You just put raw information out there. It's irresponsible! People read your website and they get a totally incorrect view and idea of what's going on, because we haven't processed it first."

Well, what the hell did we just go through for the last 20 days or so of coverage with the so-called "responsible" media? Raw, unfiltered information. None of it was right - at least, not from the supposedly expert profilers and wild guessers. All the information that proved to be worthwhile was provided by those closest to the action: the police and others investigating the crime.

I'm going to tell you a little secret: Matt Drudge's website is the source for more newsrooms in this country, print and broadcast, than any of them will ever admit. It gets millions and millions of hits – and if you read it, you'll find that the "breaking" news the so-called real media publishes, looks as stale as the month-old publications in your dentist's office.

Yet when Drudge's site exploded on the national scene and on the American consciousness, and he went to the National Press Club to make a speech, they all clicked their tongues. How times change. Now, more often than not, the giants of media who think that they, and they alone, should decide what news is fit to print, are told what's news by Drudge himself.

I saw the restraining order filed by his ex-wife and posted on this thread. She hand wrote (Williams) Muhammed. All the children listed she wrote down with the last name of "Muhammed." Sorry, but the CNN spin is just another of many lies.

[SkyPilot]

So the Islamic Terrorist in Moscow were "Chechen Freedom Fighters" and "rebels", and John Muhammad is now "Williams."

[Enough is ENOUGH]

Why don't you e-mail this to CNN with a subscript: cc: Fox News. Then send a copy of your cover letter and document to Brit Hume c/o Fox News.

AND the Moscow terrorists were called "hostage-takers" the ENTIRE evening.

[Txslady]

I read that last night on Rush's site too!! LOL :o))

[Nam Vet]

There is a thread here on FR that has copies of his court divorce documents dated in 1985 wherein he and his wife, now ex, are called Mohammed.

[spycatcher]

Oh yeah, Brit Hume and Tony Snow love stuff like this for their bottom of the hour two-minute segment on liberal media goofiness

[spycatcher]

Maybe CNN can be sent copies of other legal forms by a certain world-famous composer who doesn't like having his name defamed and tied to serial killing through CNN's gross negligence.

[Plutarch]

Does that mean from now on it is Cassius Clay and Lew Alcindor?

[twyn1]

Well at least they didn't use the ever-popular "ex-Gulf War veteran" or "ex-soldier" tag in front of his "real" name in the headline

[Nam Vet]

Lesson learned here? Don't post until you've read the whole thead you pinhead!

Self (Nam Vet)

[berkeleybeej]

Saw one news headline yesterday that called him "Decorated Gulf War Veteran." Gag.
