#3 My question is a little bit off topic: Is Terry Nichols's wife a muslim? I know she is philippino but is she a muslim?

#4 What else did Kent Mayfield say?

From a previous Reuters article via Daniel Aronstein and PowerLine:
"I think the reason they are holding him is because he is of the Muslim faith and because he is not super happy with the Bush administration. So if that's a crime, well you can burn half of us," Kent Mayfield [Brandon's brother] said.

Yeah, uh huh. I'm sure it had nothing whatsoever to do with his fingerprints being all over one of the backpacks.

#5 15 points is a good match, but the fact he's also a muslim convert greatly increases the probability of a correct ID. Still it's kind of weird.

#6 Odd that most of these guys are Islamic males between the ages of 15 and 35.

But hey, let's not racially profile them or anything, we wouldn't want them to get offended.

#7 Andrew Riley, writing in the Daily Telegraph says that in Britain, fingerprint experts commonly need 16 points of comparison between two sets of fingerprints before they will agree to give evidence in court. But in the United States, Australia, and New Zealand, the figure was 12 points and in parts of India, eight points.

----------------------------------------

15 points is good ...

It's more than good, it's totally d@mning evidence. If there is a proven link with the Madrid atrocity I hope this maggot never again sees the light of day for the rest of his natural life. There had best be no plea bargaining for this turd.

#8 Speaking of turds, I can't believe the way you show up here day after day when we've thoroughly and completely spanked you the day before.
I guess you hope that nobody will remember.

#9 Jen, your vitriol has all the potency of vinegar. I suggest that you mix it in proper proportion with water and self-administer the resulting solution as women have done for centuries.

On the Sunday before the Oklahoma City bombing the Nichols family went to a local church to celebrate Easter. That afternoon the family was sitting down to their Easter dinner when McVeigh called and asked Nichols to drive with him to Oklahoma City to drop off McVeigh's get-away car there.

Only to someone with such peculiar tastes as yours, RC.

"A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banners openly. But a traitor moves among those within the gate freely, and his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys are heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears no traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to their victims and wears their face and their garments, and appeals to the baseness which lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of the nation; he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to be feared."
