When 9/11 hapend it was the Mayor of NY in front of the camera not the fire chief or the police chief. In this case, I imagine it should have been the head of the FBI, not that one small time QUOTA police chief?
Did you forget that the first killing and more than half of the murders occured in his County. That the investigation began there and was in place when the first murder took place in Virginia. Since his investigation was already underway, why start a completely new investigation in Virginia. If you recall the County Commisioner was out there inititally but has backed off because there really wasnt anything for him to say. As murders occured in Virginia other police officials spoke to the police and bowed out in favor of having one voice for the task force. Do you really prefer the idea of having five or six different news conferences a day with each run by the locals?

The FBI doesnt want the case. They couldnt have taken it over long ago if they so desired. One reason they dont want it is both MD and VA have death penalties in place and currently the Federal death penalty is under some legal question. This small time quota polic chief heads a force of somethingn like 500 Montgomery county police.
Maybe you are also arguing that we ought to get rid of state departments of education in order to make sure that a more effective role is taken by the feds?
