[Skidmore]

Did I get that right?

2. That is correct

He was attacked from behind in an apparent robbery Friday evening.

3. was he working on something hot?

I cannot put anything past this administration.

[Bucky]

5. Wow, that didn't take long

Normally we're supposed to wait until the facts come in before accusing the administration of murder conspiracies. Small formality.

[rooboy]

6. The first thing you look for is motive and opportunity. n/t

[ChairmanAgnostic]

7. Mine was a background question. It stands. Was he working something

hot?
He was the NYT DC correspondent, with a specialty in government finances.
Not one accusation, merely a search for info.

[11cents]

15. Yes. He was working on something hot.

As a *retired* journalist, he was working on getting to level two in that hot new video game.

[Gman]

11. Personally, I eliminated the administration... that's not their style

they prefer small planes.

4. In an incredibly safe DC NW neighborhood.

Local DC newscasters are emphasizing how safe Rosenbaum's neighborhood is.

The neighbors interviewed are in shock. No one has come out and said that they
think this was more than a mugging, but they all claim this kind of thing just
doesn't happen on that street, where little kids walk to school and play outside
all of the time.

[ChairmanAgnostic]

9. every street in that part of town is on video. 24/7.

the videos can even read license plates in the dark.

16. How much do you wanna bet.....

THAT tape is lost ?

:tinfoilhat:

8. Beat cspan by a mile! See this thread from last nite

[flordehinojos]

10. yeah.

(and as a sidetrack but not to kill the thread--harry belafonte better watch his back now that he's called bush the biggest terrorist on earth--something i agree with and think belafonte is 100% correct, but the bushies don't like the light of truth!)

12. * Stopped Calling Them To The WH To Talk Them Out Of Printing...

stories.

[SmokingJacket]

13. That's scary -- it wasn't even very late at night.

In his own neighborhood. Sheesh.

[Norquist Nemesis]

14. Had it not been for his stolen credit cards being used

I would be putting on my :tinfoilhat: and keeping an eye out for more info. The AP story I read mentioned two men and a "dark car" and I couldn't help but imagine a black SUV peeling away from the scene. ;)

[Catherine Vincent]

17. Yes. Very fishy.

This one should be added to the Bush body count list.
