The Rocky Mountain News (via Michelle Malkin) reported that a Muslim from Canada was found dead in a hotel with a container of cyanide…

theoldpath: “With the convention right around the corner, I am pretty sure that Barak Hussein Obama would not be a target of Muslim terrorism. The question becomes, “I wonder who the cyanide was intended for?” Just asking.”

Oh yeah? Well, why is THAT???

Are you saying Obama and his supporters are allied with Muslim terrorists, or they are sympathetic to them?

You’ll have to look pretty effing hard to find anyone at this—or any other—conservative site who believes that.

Have you considered that Muslim terrorists would be happy to kill Obama supporters too?

So…what’s the basis for your “pretty sure”?

MM, has your “reporting” turned up something different than what the FBI is telling us? If so, blog away. In the meantime, I’ll wait for updates from the FBI as their investigation progresses.

dakine: would you have taken this tack if you read in a blog about Moussaoui’s arrest before 9/11?

Initially there was nothing suspicious about him, either.

Just what’s wrong with putting the spotlight on cases like this?

What libertarian conservative principle is violated by doing so? Since the guy is DEAD and was never/never will be charged with anything you can’t use “innocent until proven guilty”.

So: what’s yer beef??

Meantime I suggest you read Richard Posner’s “The Death of Common Sense”.
REAL libertarian conservatives believe in facts, reasoning, logic, and experience.

It’s not too late to get with the program.

Just another dead body in a hotel with a pound of toxic, deadly substances.

Obviously a tragic accident involving an inexperienced exterminator. Should have called ORKIN.

Nothing to see here. Move on.

guess he forgot to wear his gloves and mask….

I have a meeting scheduled for the 26th, I’ll be calling in.

…Although the FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force was alerted and is helping in the investigation, Wright emphasized that agents do not have information that would lead them to believe that the victim was a “terrorist or has terrorist ties.”

And they wouldn’t say so if they did. They say the same thing in every case. Their first priority is to calm the ignorant masses and protect the local tourism industry. Most of the time, they’ll end up being right just by chance. But they’ve lost a lot of credibility with me because they justify deceiving the public to prevent panic or Mob action. They just don’t trust the American people and I don’t trust half of what they say because of it.

Police on Wednesday identified a white powder found in the room as sodium cyanide, which can be used as a pesticide or to extract gold from ore.

Terrorists are mining gold in Colorado?
