Depending on who disclosed it, it sounds like the police are at fault.
If the press already knew the police should have been closed-mouthed about it.
If the police disclosed it then the officer that did so should be fired for his "look at the big brain on ME" moment.
Not necessarily. The media were asked no to disclose thsi info, and they did it anyway. Remember when the media "let it slip" that we were going to be able to track Osama due to the type of cave formations that were in the background of his videotapes, then the next tape came out and the background was covered up witha blanket or something to that effect.
I don't necesserily disagree with that, except for the fact that the press revealed the information with full knowledge that the perp could have been watching. Yes, there is a chance that he may not have been, but as it turned out, the perp never again called, 1+1=2, IMO.
