The Associated Press (via WTOP) is reporting that the incident that closed down the area around the Library of Congress earlier today was that U.S. Capitol Police detained a man who had a rifle and an improvised explosive device in his vehicle.

i've never had a problem with links. wonder if it's just a case of poor html code on the case of the commenter...
it's not a case of poor HTML. i've been writing code since 1997.
Michael Gorbey got 22 years, Jack Abramoff only got 4 and he hurt a lot more people.
While its great they caught the guy, since he put in the 30 lives code (↑ ↑ ↓ ↓ ← → ← → B A) before he left the house they have to catch him like 29 more times.
rob: sorry, didn't mean to attack your coding skills...just was asking. guess there are bugs there in the commenting system.
