Explosion at Boston Marathon II

One conclusion you can easily draw - there is not much intelligence on the House Intelligence Committee.

 

If an Infowars fan is in the argument then by default whoever is on the other side is the only one sane choice, even if that person is rude, offensive and uncouth.

 

Misha!

 

If an FBI agent had prevented the bombing, he'd be all over the media.

Where is the agent who interviewed Tamerlan and the family and decided he was A-OK?

And yes, I'd like to think that unlike the folks in Superman's universe, the absence of a beard wouldn't transform Tamerlan into an unrecognizable person. Reports also indicated the family was interviewed. Did they meet and/or interview the other brother?

Did anyone even check with this agent to see if he/she recognized the persons in the photos?

If there's an agent who's assigned to check out potential terror suspects in Boston, you'd think he/she would have been consulted in this case.

 

In Inky's defense, I wouldn't recognize him without a beard.

 

I showed my daughter a photo of me sans beard - and gray hair in the temples - she thought it was my brother.

 

In the Tsarnaev brothers' case, that would have been fine!

 

So the FBI apparently has already found and investigated the elusive Misha, yet YF was never informed? Instead, he had to find out about it from the agenda-addled NYT. Unacceptable.

Are there any other particulars of the investigation that are being kept from YF?

For instance, why has YF not been invited to Watertown to see for himself the supposed marks in the street from the Bombing Brothers' so-called homemade grenades, like Thomas feeling the wounds in Jesus's side?

Because unless the FBI, Boston police, CIA and the Obama administration start bringing YF up to date with the very latest developments, he understandably has no choice but to assume that they are all incompetent idiots.

 

Likely that # 2 would have been more recognizable since his photo was clearer and no sunglasses. You would think they would have been able to find a quick match through Mass. Motor Vehicle registry or student ID.

 

For a bunch of supposed journalists there are not a lot of skeptics around here.

 

The Globe has the most definitive story to date of the pursuit. An hour by hour account till capture:

Still lots to be flushed out including this:

"In all the chaos, MBTA officer Richard H. Donohue Jr. had been shot near his groin, possibly by a fellow officer, and collapsed in a pool of blood at the corner of Dexter Avenue and Laurel Street. One civilian witness, who asked not to be identified, said there were police officers positioned behind Donohue and they appeared to be firing in his direction. The Middlesex district attorney’s office is investigating."
