Yeah, been following it on Twitter. Dunno, but it's smelling like domestic terrorism, but we'll see.

mute point - did anyone notice that not one of flags fall from the bomb. that were lining the area were the first bomb went off. This to me is a sign there is no place in the world were these behind the bombing have to hide ~

I disagree. It smells like Al Qaeda-type of attack: multiple bombs. Big City with an international crowd and a big event going on.

In comparison a domestic terrorist (like an eco-terrorist or anti-government type) would hit a different target.

Well law enforcement says the bomb was an amateur job so its sounding like domestic terror. Also there's been no claim of responsibility which also points that way.

i give CNN some credit for showing (mostly) unedited pics. not that i WANT to see graphic stuff, but it's about time the US news shows reality rather than a puppy and kittens version of tragedy. some pics are blurred where obvious body parts would be, but the pics with injured people covered in blood, etc is, well, needed so the public can fully comprehend the impact.

I was thinking about this today too. The picture of the guy with his legs blown off has been cropped. I think the media ought to show it uncensored. This is what violence begets. it's not like the movies.

Hey Err... No offense, and you had it way before either incidents happen, but your avatar could be offensive regarding this topic.

a suspect has been arrested...

edit: ...and now they are reporting "conflicting reports" regarding the suspect and if the person was even detained. gotta love the media.
