You know, if an arrest is believed imminent, then report "Arrest made" since you might be right soon.

What would suck is to spend a half hour retracting "Arrest made", and then have an arrest made.

is that The Daily Show is going to rip it to shreds. Just heard a lot of equivocating on CNN which should have been accompanied by the chiron, "We don't know shit".

There was some speculation earlier that the FBI wants time to talk to this man before they release any information.
