BBC: Ex-soldier convicted as Washington sniper
2003-11-17
How do you like that? Not Nation of Islam member, not fanatic muslim convert, but "ex-soldier" convicted as Washington Sniper.
Yup. That's prob'ly why he dunnit...
One of the men accused of the Washington sniper killings has been found guilty of murder, terrorism, conspiracy and a firearms charge. John Allen Muhammad, 42, now may face the death penalty. He was convicted of shooting dead Dean Meyers at a petrol station in Manassas, Virginia, on 9 October 2002, and murdering "at least one other person". He may also face other charges relating to the killings, which left 10 dead and three wounded. Along with his alleged accomplice, 18-year-old Lee Boyd Malvo, he is also accused of three murders and three counts of wounding across the United States. Mr Malvo is on trial separately.

#7  Look on the bright side. The BBC is treating Bush better than it treated Winston Churchill ("Who?")

#6  There must be some way we can hurt the BBC when they pull crap like this. They don't have any sponsors, so we can't boycott the sponsors. Britain is our staunchest ally in Iraq, so we can't whack Britain (lots of other good reasons why not, but that will do). Most people outside Britain aren't required to support this fecal matter, so it's hard to bring any pressure to bear. A letter-writing campaign doesn't do any good, because these idiots are too dense to connect the dots. Other than kidnapping and torturing the reporters themselves, I see no way to make these people understand their stupidity has reached the point where there's a increasingly-militant backlash.

#4  Just when I think the Baghdad Broadcasting Company can't get any lower, they bring in the backhoe.

Disgusting.

#3  You won't hear a word about his being a muslim. His service over a decade ago is what made him want to drive around D.C. and shoot people. NOT the more recent conversion to radical islam, where the 'good books' and 'learned holy men' tell you to go wage jihad against civilians.
