It's a 'Who got the latestes info" thread now it seems to me.
That's gonna have an effect here.
What with copy paste, he said she said, et al (Probably wrong spelling but that's Steve's area)

I want the SOB caught. That's all.
It's my nature to joke in situations and times like this.
It's my way of copeing with this type unknown.

Yes, that's what we were shown. Again, I have no idea whether it actually depicts the suspects/perpetrators, but I thought it was at least worth mentioning that authorities might have a clear image of their faces.

Looks like speculation to me they only know that the bags where made of nylon and black and if you looked around at any public gathering or in a large city you'd likely find a dozen black nylon bags in less than fives minutes.

Like I said until it comes from the horses mouth it is all speculation.when the FBI comes and says "we are looking for these two men here" it is pure speculation.

The fact that your professor got his information from a media outlet certainly makes me question his expertise in counter terrorism.

As an aside, generally speaking to nobody in particular, why post if your not going to include the link? :-?

Channel 32 in my area.

Remember that we have no idea what photos/camera footage the FBI is actually looking at closely.

Agreed :up:

It's all speculation at this point. Perhaps I should not have even mentioned it.

At this point and when dealing with an unfolding event, we're all beholden to the inaccuracies of media outlets. He was quite clear that the photo was uncorroborated and should be taken with a grain of salt. That said, he is a fairly well-known name in the field and is currently employed by the USN and DoD to research targeting patterns for suicide terrorist attacks.

That was a key detail that you left out of your original post which made me question his expertise based on the information I originally had to formulate an opinion on.

A fair point and I'm sorry about that. I typed it up very quickly as he transitioned from a mini-presentation on the bombing to his regular lecture. I should have double-checked the post and provided context.

This is an apology from "The Wall Street Journal"

I wish all of the news agencies would have this much class: http://online.wsj.com/article/SB1000...821162728.html

Corrections & Amplifications
The FBI and the Boston police department said no arrests have been made in the case.
An earlier version of this article said a suspect was in custody, citing an Associated Press report.
Did you ever play clue?

Somewhere out there in a smoke filled room, full of computers and phones, with a bulletin board,
a note is pinned to the board that says,

"boarded jet plane at Boston Logan headed for New York and on to his home country"

The Times Square bomber didn't make it ...
this man or duo may already have a head start :yep:

They probably hopped on the subway and rode home.
