    While not buying into any of the conspiracy theories surrounding "Naked Man", I am pretty surprised he's not been identified by anybody:

    Why hasn't Naked Man identified himself?

    Now James Tracy feels the need to libel a guy who helped save somebody's life.

    How does one get to be a professor without any critical thinking skills?

    He needs to be fired.

    The story gets more curious by the day. The naked man sounds like someone who was in wrong place at wrong time
    and now does not want to be identified. The fact that the cops thought that the naked man was # 2 bought more time for him to get away since cops stopped the search.

    It's clear that law enforcement did not have a real coordinated search plan based on the chaotic situation in Watertown.

    In related news there were no witnesses to carjacking:

    If you were that guy, would you come forward and say "Yeah, I was the naked guy?"

    I really hope this is one of your many acts, because the story is not "more curious by the day." Bad info was reported during the frantic pace of the search. Now that bad info is being corrected.

    It's the corrections and additions that make the story more curious. Not suggesting any conspiracy but pointing out a lot of mistakes made by law enforcement at all levels.

    In case you don't want to read through Tracy's drivel, this is his penultimate paragraph: "Is Carlos Arredondo really the hero US news media portray him as? Are such news outlets perhaps perpetuating a misconception? Did Arredondo really jump the fence and rush to assist Bauman? Or was this perhaps a contrived scene where Arredondo fulfilled a particular predetermined role? Was the apparently maimed man who would later play a key role in identifying the Tsarnaev brothers as the alleged evil culprits deliberately left unattended for a photo shoot? Why otherwise would Bauman be ignored by everyone including his valiant rescuer for so long?"

    Put the goddam foil hat on him.
