Blog May Have Known Half-Wit, Too

Super sleuth Steve den Beste (think Nero Wolfe, but without the orchids) offers a solution to the mystery of blogger Salam Pax and his disappearance last month. Inspector Clue-less has sussed it out with only a single piece of evidence:

The site "Where is Raed?" was last updated on March 24.

On March 25, Raed Rokan Al-Anbuge was arrested in New York and has been held by US authorities ever since: [Para.] A former Iraqi diplomat's son accused of aiding Iraqi spies was actually helping the United States and plans to seek asylum, his lawyer said Tuesday.

See, because they both have the name "Raed" .... and .... uh ...

Why oh why hasn't Bill Mueller tapped this national treasure at a time when our national security is at stake?

But maybe denny is onto something. Let's try out his process of deduction:

The site "TBogg," which originates from San Diego, was last updated on April 17.

On April 18, Scott Peterson was arrested in San Diego and has been held by Modesto, California authorities ever since: A former fertilizer salesman was accused of killing his pregnant wife but claims he was fishing on the date of her disappearance....

The man's a genius! A genius I say.

Update: Edited slightly.

Update 2 (4/23): Edited again.... Damn, people actually read this crap! More work for me.
