Sorry Big Mick, but you and I have got to disagree on this one. (I've been sick from work a couple of days, so I just found your response.)

Smart Perp? These guys were idiots. Calling a tip-line (which are always recorded) to remind them about a previous case? Several times?   Leaving misspelled notes, with Jamacian patois, demanding 10 million to be wired to a stolen credit card account? Sleeping in truck stops? Wanting the police to set up an 800 number for them to call? Hey, I guess that passes for clever to the civilians...

PC? Why do you think the Feds have taken the case from Maryland and given it to Virginia? While the trial track-records on the death penalty have much to do with it, there are plenty of mad cops about the deaths in Virginia, while they were searching for white guys in white vans. And obviously if I figured out that the perps were black long before they were caught, I must be racist too...

Finally, though the media types from Montgomery County have been having a field day with Moose, virtually no other Police Department has joined in... and other cops leaked the look-outs that caught these guys, one and a half hour later. That should tell you something.

And by the way Mr.Bartlett, did anybody ask this expert twit, why is it that the vast majority of serial killers were not allowed in the military in the first place, or were kicked out early after a career as a mechanic and a water-boo driver, as in Mohammads case? Now thats shite...
