Just as well. Coffey is an idiot. What was that guy's name on MSNBC that said, "this is not terrorism." He was a fair-haired, former FBI guy.

They said there is no AQ connection. They are sympathisers but these guys seem to be acting on their own.

These guys seem to be very stupid. Imagine, the two of them sleeping in a public place in the hottest car in the world.

I think the Sniper wanted to get caught. He gave the police with answer. Stolen Credit Card. Easy bust.

CNN reporting that the double shootings in Alabama yielded a scrap of paper with Malvo's fingerprints on it. They traced it back to the Tacoma location...

What I didn't catch is: Did they find Malvo's fingerprints on ANY of the DC area notes??

Jeanne Meserve (CNN) says that the phone booth where the two illegal aliens were taken down, is the phone booth where the sniper CALLED FROM...to the task force...

Agree about the "search warrant" NOW, but when they blocked the freeways, they didn't look in Trunks of cars.

Dr. Biden is saying we can't be "politically correct" and must look more closely at people who change their name to "Muhhammad". Ouch!

Morning Miss Marple. Here for 1 hour and have to go. Have fun with the kids today. What a night. You had that connection down pat on the tarot card.

I wonder why CNN is holding back on the Alabama connection.

Does the term "politically correct s#it for brains" mean anything here?

CNN has finally talked about the Montgomery Alabama shooting. They said a .223 was used and the 17 year old's fingerprint was found on a piece of paper at the scene.

I wonder if the ballistics from the Alabama shooting matches the DC area shootings?

That remark blows any chance of any future opportunity to appear on CNN as an expert.

Well, one thing I was right about. The phrasing on the Tarot card WAS written by a foreigner...the Jamaican stepson.

Phone calls by Malveaux, the accent, the letter written by Malveaux, broken english. Malveaux is here illegally.

I wonder of those two illegals caught at the phone booth weren't deported within hours of their capture, which is unheard of speed for INS to react anyway, but rather in a witness protection program?

I think it was John Miller: They do not want this to be a Richard Jewell so they are using the old, "we'd like to talk to you".

I think John Williams got his "training" at a civialian installation in Alabama. He was in the military, but likely only received basic firearms training. He was almost certainly NOT an military sniper. It was reported that he was Dishonorably Discharged from the Army.

"...THERE IS NOTHING IN THE CONSTITUTION TO PREVENT THE UNITED STATES FROM DECLARING ISLAM AS THE EMEMY OF THE STATE..."

And neither is there anything in the Constitution to prevent the citizens from Recognizing 'islam' as such an enemy in that span of time it takes the state to get up to speed.

"...No religion was given the right to kill in the country. This is not freedom of religion..."

Nor should we gloss over the fact that "islam's" claim to the status of an authentic 'religion' is tenuous indeed.

It's structure, activities and goals are clearly more like 'La Cosa Nostra', another similar murderous quasi-religious organization.

So far, looks like good news today.

This is a post I made last night, twice in fact, in yesterday's thread:

Had a thought though. Perhaps they have someone in custody already? What ever happened with the second vehicle they were looking for after the rifle was pointed at the school bus?

Maybe they did get someone, but there is a second person involved? The person Moose is addressing is the second person. The sniper is caught like a duck in a noose. It's important that you hear this... because this means the sniper/partner is out of commision, so the second person may as well turn themself in, or carry on alone, I guess.

I kind of wonder if John Mohammad and the step son ARE the shooters. Mohammad with military background = head shots. The 16 year old step son, the abdominal shots???

Maybe after the media blabbed about saying 'persons of interest' just to get to talk to LE... Moose may have been forced to issue warrants and forget about 'persons of interest' ploy?

Anyway, just theorizing.

Looks like I pegged these two as being the ones. The thing that is weird is, that after I made that post. Nobody commented back to me about it! How wierd is that? At least 400 posts from the first posting, posted twice and yet, nada...
