Republicans have made fundamentally wrong choices for America, and instead embarked on a self-serving, morally righteous crusade that has touched and tainted everything from the Justice Department's US Attorney scandal, to the Iraq march to war and subsequent attempts to involve Iran as a part of a religious imperative to rid the world of Islam. Now it's time to pay the piper...

I hit on this a few days ago in a post titled "McCain's Dirty Little Money Secrets", and now a defiant and arrogant Cindy McCain is back in the news this morning, and once again its news of her own making. She's the kind of trouble John McCain just doesn't need -- but as far as I can see McCain has no chance of keeping a lid on the problems she will create for his candidacy.

They got him on 10 now. However, the local police are denying that there are any more confessions.
I am curious about the dna testing. I guess they can narrow down the search just by having a relative's dna? Would it have to be an offspring? Brother or sister? How far down, or up the line, can you go? I know for mitrochondrial (sp?) dna it should be matched with a parent. And there is this new Y-STR dna testing, which separates the men from the women and the men from the men, so to speak. :-)

I wonder what the mistake was.
Press reports noted that his last package included a computer disk. Could he have been careless enough to do something like sending an Office Document complete with all of its stored composition data?

Maybe the disk he used was not blank but the previous info merely deleted. I'm not sure if formating a disk completely removes all information either. What can I say -- tough luck! :)

I actually hope we don't learn what his mistake was. No need to tip off the next asshole.

If he didn't commit rape but left his semen at the crime scene, sexual anxiety may have been a motivating factor.
Was there a commonality among B.T.K. victims?

Did they use the DNAPrint Genomics Inc (DNAP)version of DNAPrint or DNAWITNESS like the cops used in Louisiana to get serial killer Derrick Todd Lee? I read that the test only needs partial DNA to match.

- Actually they were able to ID the disk as belonging to a local Lutheran Church and that narrowed it down to just 5 or 6 people with access and viola.... there he be.... the DNA was just to nail the coffin on the lid.... Sales of "Windows for serial killer idiots" will go through the roof now.....

Steve: I think his motivating factor is that he received sexual pleasure from binding, torturing, and murdering people.
Johann: As you probably have already heard, the disk was linked to his church. I heard he maintained their computers. I don't know if his daughter had anything to do with providing dna, hers or his.
