The card to which they wanted money transferred was stolen from a Greyhound bus driver, and she didn't realize it had been stolen. As you can see by looking at the PDF files available at WaPo, the PIN number from the sniper's note is 9595. Just a minor nag. Was that the PIN number the Greyhound driver was using, and she had written it on the card, or was it a made up PIN number that John and his "son" wanted to be the new PIN? If the latter, what's the 9595 mean?

On another note, I'd like to know how they found out about the Msgr. with whom they discussed their spree. Out of the yellow pages, or what?

And, whatever happened to those spy planes? Have they stopped flying yet? Was their deployment temporary or "temporary?"

With each report, Mr. Muhammad is beginning to look more and more like someone whose primary motivation was $$$. While other motivations no doubt played a part, he appears to have been more of a schemer and small-time crook than, say, a super intelligent international terrorist. Just because he's a bit of a dummy doesn't necessarily mean he's a patsy, however: Jennifer and James Tyson, an African American couple from Upper Marlboro, said they were not convinced police had found the sniper because the two arrested men were black.
