    Which is all fine and dandy. But none of that is "Tea Party". The "Tea Party" is no more right-wing extremist than the Democrat Party is anarchist.

    No doubt... this just smells like that... and our law enforcement affiliated with anti-terrorism is certainly looking this direction... and we are unaware of any other direction. Holding at least 2 Saudi, and looking for dark skinned with foreign accents seems pertinent.

    OF COURSE this is conjecture... but it is, at the moment, the ONLY conjecture supported by current events with what little information we have. I do not believe it will be any skin off of my nose if it is some other entity or person... but this smells very much like people who affiliate THEMSELVES with muslim terrorism... whether or not they are known by the larger organizations.

    Again... we got special rules for this...

    Uh, the folks in Guantanamo would actually not be free individuals...

    Some are slated for release, but, it's hardly the same thing...

    - - - Updated - - -

    Uh, OK...

    So, why have officials made statements that they currently have no suspects, and, that there was no link found between the bombings and the person of interest?

    Don't know how accurate this new info is, but here goes:

    While many folks may have unfortunately had bags, so as to have clothing for runners at the end of the race, etc., one would hope that if the above is true, that it would be distinctive enough to help identify folks from the video available.

    To prevent backlash against Saudi's/muslims without fact establishment in the wake of a terrorist bombing that mutilated dozens and killed 3? I applaud the decision. Because they have not found a link is less important than the fact that he is not free to leave, nor does an arrest with charges have to happen for 7 days... nor do they have to marandize him. This is considered wartime intelligence gathering of an active terrorist attack.

    There is no telling if he is part of this. There is nothing to condemn him... again... I am saying that the focus appears to be this direction. That could change. Till it does... I expect they know what they are doing.

    Middle East counterterrorism experts point to hallmarks of Middle East terrorism in the initial investigation of the twin bombings that struck the Boston Marathon Monday, April 15, killing three people, including an 8-year old boy and injuring 140 – seventeen critically. The ball-bearings planted in the bombs for maximizing casualties are a familiar “professional” feature of Middle East terrorism. The Boston event would have required a team of 4-5 bombers on the ground backed by at least 10 accomplices and spotters.

    The Mayor confirmed that there were no unexploded devices and that the pieces in the bombs were BB type pellets

    Agreed and that's why reports, like the one from Alex Jones, that state folks knew about this. It's like if my property was hit with a bomb, I'd look for all of the answers as I could look for and everyone would be a suspect in my eyes. If I was pre-warned about this, obviously I could narrow down my list of suspects.

    Absolutely and you have every right to believe as such. The reports coming out will lead to this and one can imagine this is where the trail will lead. For me, I tend to go against the grain a lot of the times. My favorite quote is 'I reject your reality and substitute my own'. Please don't take it as disrespectful or malicious intent, it's merely how I think. I don't accept everything for what I see and I question everything. Yeah, it makes accepting things a little bit harder but as long as the facts are right, I'll accept the inevitable. However, until said time comes, I will have my doubts. But please, it's never meant as a bad intent towards you or anyone else. Just merely how/who I am.

    However, back to your point. I think this plays into the article I was talking about with Alex Jones. The reality is it could be someone in the terrorist organization as that's who they're going after. My doubts come into play because this happened around the anniversary of the Waco & Oklahoma bombings, both domestic and because of their hatred of the US government. Innocent folks were involved, when I see stuff like this, I believe we all become collateral damage. Then folks wish to put children in our faces and say how many innocent children have to die before we see gun control, I say how many innocent children have to die before we end the wars? But I digress....

    A bit of premature ejaculation there, sport.
    The Saudi student detained is not a suspect.
    Why don't you chillax and wait to see what emerges before projecting your own prejudices on the event?

    I am not in dispute of this in any way. It is my nature to try and solve things. This appears to be the only direction with any teeth atm. I suspect it is correct. That is all.

    Eh, I'm not trying to be overly disagreeable...

    It could very well turn out that the guy is connected...

    However, my point is that we currently have no info on him, other than that the authorities have said that he is not a suspect, and they haven't found any connection...

    Well... and that he is still in custody without arrest... that can ONLY happen invoking the terrorism clause dealing with foreign nationals and terrorism bombings. It is a MANDATORY detainment... so he is a suspect on some level, regardless of being officially named as such.

    Same goes for the Saudi nurse being detained.

    AND they are looking for a suspicious dark skinned man with a foreign accent.

    I am not exactly leaping very far to arrive at my personal suspicion.

    I'm not saying it's farfetched...

    Just that there is no information, yet, to verify that...

    I don't think there is anything Obama can do. America should just get used to being attacked and accept the punishment.

    Yes... so I should be careful and well tempered... not intimating that it is probable that Muslim terrorists... who commit IED bombings all over the world... who we are actively at war with... are responsible...

    But CNN "National Security" analysts can suggest right wing extremists with absolutely NOTHING to go on...
    [video=youtube;D1_b3ieRDdk]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D1_b3ieRDdk&feature=player_embedded[/video]

    CBS can suggest white extremists... and we will be quiet about that. I am clearly irrational and should be hushed? This is a bit tongue and cheek... I realize you are not persecuting me personally...

    Just saying as logic goes, and Occam's falls... I really don't think I am the problem here. Not suggesting we round them all up and drag them behind trucks or anything... I guess... I am just saying... "really people?"
