'We take incidents such as this very seriously,' Defense Dept. says A van containing President Obama's teleprompter and podium were stolen from a Virginia hotel parking lot on Monday, according to NBC12 in Richmond. The truck was parked at the Virginia Center Commons Courtyard Marriott near Richmond before the president's scheduled Wednesday appearance in Chesterfield, the station reported. In addition to the teleprompter, $200,000 worth of audio equipment and presidential seals mounted on Obama's podium were inside the stolen vehicle. NBC12 reports the truck was recovered on Monday at 12:30 p.m. at a Holiday Inn Express near the Richmond airport. The Defense Information Systems Agency released the following statement on the incident: "A government vehicle was stolen and has been recovered. No classified or sensitive information was in the vehicle. We take incidents such as this very seriously, and a formal investigation is continuing in coordination with relevant law enforcement agencies." At this time, officials have not said if any items were missing from the van.
Whoever stole that van better be careful not to take any tips overseas anytime soon. He might get droned.
...or as long as they sound and look muslim, little evidence need be disclosed, suspicion will suffice.
Well there was plenty of evidence in that Al-Qaeda swore revenge and did the confirming that he was killed. Why would Al-Qaeda even know that if he wasn't allied with them? We know the guy had made the claim that he supported Al-Qaeda. I think there was plenty of evidence for someone who supports a group militarily involved against the United States to go after him.
Well when you are on the American hitlist, who is going to want you around? The Yemini government? The man too many options didn't he? Yes he spewed a lot of crap about ideals that appear to be in line with Al-Qaeda's agenda. He never said he was part of the group, does certain rhetoric make you a member? There simply was no evidence to show he was involved with any bombings, he was taken out based on suspicion.
