White Van?

the hope is that is would make the shooters think the police were on the wrong trail, lulling them into overconfidence....

A problem with that idea is that all of the police officers I've heard talking say that they were only looking for a white van. It does appear that law enforcement was fixated on the white van theory.

Doesn't it seem strange to you that the police arrested two ILLEGAL ALIENS IN A WHITE VAN TO BE DEPORTED, and shortly thereafter figured out it was Mohammed and Malvo? Malvo being an illegal alien, and Mohammed a known smuggler of Illegal Aliens...WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE?

Didn't the cops appeal to the ILLEGAL ALIEN COMMUNITY>>"BIRDS OF A FEATHER,etc".....isn't it possible that if there were three, there could have been five, etc.
I am not convinced that those two snipers did NOT know those illegal aliens in the van, especially since they were in motel room across from same phone, at same time they were arrested and white van taken by police...COINCIDENCE??? Not in my book. They could have bee decoys to attract attention to a white van.
