(Via InstaPundit) Paul Sperry reports Police suppress terrorism angle - ATF official: Releasing descriptions of Mideast suspects would cause 'panic':
Several witnesses to the Beltway sniper shootings over the past two weeks have described suspects resembling Middle-Eastern men, but authorities have played down the Islamic terrorism angle to avoid mass "panic" in the area, an ATF official told WorldNetDaily.Well, Grandma Moses didn't do it, she's dead.
... the task force won't likely release a composite sketch of suspects - alternately described by witnesses, law-enforcement lookouts and police-scanner chatter as "Hispanic," "Middle-Eastern," "olive-skinned" and "dark-skinned" - until all other suspects are ruled out.
I really don't care what the suspects look like or what ethnic group they might belong to - release the damn descriptions now so that the public can help bag them.
