Even more horrifying is the fact that the kidnapper lived with Elizabeth Smart and his wife in an apartment just a block from the Salt Lake City Police Department.

No doubt the cops saw these vagabonds in burkas wandering around hundreds of times and just kept driving by. Sensitivity to diverse cultures in the post 9-11 world as a matter of department policy, you know.
