You’ve stepped on it now, because then it should be easy for you to prove but I don’t think you can do that.

You are certainly very critical of others to always be talking about not politicizing an issue.

Also, your statement now just seems poorly presented and not well thought out.
I don’t think I have stepped in anything, and it is certainly not politicizing. This isn’t political, I just think Glenn Beck is not a reliable source. He is incredibly biased and does not tolerate anyone that doesn’t agree with his viewpoint. That is an entertainer/commentator and that has its place, he is just not a news source.
 
The FBI has already said there are 2 suspects. More than one just by itself means conspiracy.
 
Two suspects working together or two possible suspects? Anyhow, I didn’t hear this latest development.
Just to keep the facts clear the latest statement by the FBI and homeland security says that there are two people on video that authorities are looking for in order to interview them. However, the FBI said that they could not yet call them suspects.

Link?
 
According to the NY Post, they interviewed the men in the pics and released them.

Investigators have now cleared the two men whose pictures were circulated last night in an email among law enforcement officials, sources told The Post today.
Authorities determined neither had any information or role in Monday’s attacks at the Boston Marathon.
 
The Department of Homeland Security tells CNN that there has been some confusion and misreporting regarding two different Saudi nationals.

There is one Saudi national who is in a Boston hospital, and has been questioned by the FBI because he was at the marathon during the terrorist attack.

He is not a suspect, nor is he a person of interest. He was an individual at the marathon, and therefore, like so many individuals, has been questioned.

There is a second Saudi national from the Boston area who is in U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement custody for being in violation of his visa. This ICE custody has nothing to do with the Boston Marathon, officials from the Department of Homeland Security said.

Thanks Gilliam…that clears up at least two of the many reports.

There is a lot of confusion out there. The FBI is suppose to have a news conference (if it is not cancelled again) at 5PM eastern time.
 
individuals, has been questioned.

Yet this second Saudi National is in the hospital with wounds from the bomb blasts and is under armed guard.

Things that make you go hhmmmmmm.
 
Were both bombs in pressure cookers? All the focus is on one bomb in a backpack. The bag in the photo of the bomb beside the mail box doesn’t look like a backpack. It looks more like a plastic carrier bag which wouldn’t be strong enough to hold an empty pressure cooker, never mind one packed with metal items.

I feel very sorry for the family of the Chinese student who died a violent death so far from home. Her family must be devastated. With the Chinese one child per family rule, she might well have been their only child. Tragic.

I don’t know if this is true, this says as fact that these two men were the ones of whom pictures were sent to law enforcement. So there is a lot of information here that we can’t even be sure of.
 
What’s a bit scary is if this becomes a cold trail… if we look at these pictures and when the bag was planted, at around 4 hours into the Marathon run is what I heard and if we say the suspects are not panning out, it’s not him or him, it’s not domestic, it’s not Al Qaeda, it’s not foreign, it kind of makes you wonder… who?? Who would gain?? And who could pull it off and yes, that is conspiratorial alright.

I think the authorities know more than they’re saying. They might even be releasing misinformation to flush out suspects. Just idle speculation on my part, but isn’t it possible that the Saudi authorities would be more effective at getting information from one of their own? I doubt they have Miranda (?spelling) rights in Saudi Arabia.

I think you’ve hit the nail on the head. The investigators may know a great deal more than they are saying for a variety of very good reasons. Unfortunately, in the world of the 24 hour news cycle, people want instant answers, and the media wants something new for their talking heads to say.
 
Could be kids, at least Fox said we could see a person of interest who is very young. And that’d really be bad, one is Caucasian we are hearing.
