The Boston Marathon Bombing

You're right Geoff.
If the Saudi was blameless, why was he deported?
Perhaps the troll will tell you. He knows all the facts.
 
The report I was referring to came from Walid Shoebat's site. Now, he may be a nutter or slightly nutty, but the issue is quite suspicious. Unplanned meeting with old Obama, and the rapid release of our little friend for what is at first called a 'security issue', which that clown Napolitano then tries to obliquely blow off? Something smells a little off down Foggy Bottom way, and it's not her perfume.

Or, more generally: No, I don't trust a bunch of rich bastards, because I know better. And no, I don't trust officials - elected or otherwise - because I know better. Or has the other meaning of the Golden Rule ceased to be of relevance because the useless rich boy in question happens to be a Saudi? I think you know better than that, too.

The report you referred to seems to be incorrect. And she didn't blow anything off; she answered the question.
 
I'm addressing what he said. Is that against the rules?

Maybe you should calm down.

No, I was just remarking.

I'm actually very calm, maybe it doesn't come across that way over the internet.

A communication barrier I guess.
 
by the time you guys finish arguing they'll have caught Tsarnaev.

If people would stop quoting the troll's insults, there would be less arguing.
I can no longer see his golden pronouncements, since I was "dealt with" and put him on ignore.
But I can see them when you quote them.

She answered it by refusing to answer it.

You've read the report I refer to? What was wrong in it?
 
Boston Transport system suspended. People locking themselves in. Ridiculous!
Has any city ever been locked down like this before?
Why can't people protect themselves with their guns?

It's a first. I believe this is the largest manhunt in US history.

Oh, I bet they are. Still, who would wanna risk being killed. This guy's on the loose and is a loose cannon.
 
If people would stop quoting the troll's garbage, there would be less arguing.

How do you figure that? You ran away from the conversation like a baby, so the arguing is done. Other people quoting me has no bearing on it whatsoever, because you've already proven yourself incapable of having an adult conversation.

She answered it by refusing to answer it.

What do you mean she refused to answer it? What do you call this:

“I am unaware of anyone who is being deported for national security concerns at all related to Boston. I don’t know where that rumor came from,” Napolitano said, when questioned by South Carolina Republican Rep. Jeff Duncan about reports of the Saudi national’s deportation during a House hearing Thursday.

When Duncan pressed Napolitano, she cut him off, with an angry grimace, saying that the report is another example why law enforcement should be left to do its job.

“Like I said, again I don’t even think he was technically a person of interest or a suspect, that was a wash. And I am unaware of any proceeding there, I will clarify that for you, but I think this is an example of why it is so important to let law enforcement to do its job,” Napolitano stressed.

How isn't that an answer?

You've read the report I refer to? What was wrong in it?

I didn't see any report, I only saw your link to the infowars page. I was simply stating generally that if you referred to a report that said a Saudi national had been deported, it was erroneous.

It's not mandatory, as far as I'm aware. They're simply asking that people stay inside so they can find this guy. It makes me queasy, but again as far as I know they can't force people to stay inside.

GeoffP, I thought you were more rational than that. First establish that the Saudi was indeed deported, then you can entertain questions about why.
 
Regarding Bells: No, there's no excuse for the attacks you describe, but I'll keep my skepticism, if you don't mind. It has rather the unfortunate temper of always being bloody right, every goddamn time.
*Raise eyebrows*

Shoebat.. Really?

Really?

What the hell dude?

Are you joking? Or actually taking anything that crank has to say seriously? You really, really need to revise the websites you visit.

Forgive me for saying this, but you have focused so much on the "Saudi" that you appear to have forgotten that it is two men born in Chechnya and who grew up in the US for apparently 10 years, who committed the crime.

But lets look at the facts..

Crank right wing conspiracy sites report on "alleged" deportation of Saudi student who was questioned by the police as a witness..

Everyone else, the Government, FBI, Police, and sane media all have stated clearly and repeatedly that the Saudi student was a victim of a terrorist attack and had been watching the race when the bombs exploded.. He is also in hospital and none have said that his visa had been revoked.

So in light of Government confirmation, FBI, Police and other credible news sites all saying his visa had not been revoked, you go with Shoebat and think it is somehow true?

Really?

Wow...
 
Appears that he wasn't deported, but is in hospital.
Early reports said that he was going to be deported on grounds of National Security,
and that he was a "person of interest."

Two main items of misinformation sprang from the New York Post.
1. That the Saudi was arrested
http://www.nypost.com/p/news/national/authorities_under_suspect_guard_y2m8cJO29uC2PDGIjYBalO
2. Wrong pictures identified as suspects

We have a few rags in the UK, but they don't generally make stuff up,
not unless it's about celebrities.

This article from yesterday states that the FBI have criticised a wide section of media, not just crank sites.
So if inadvertently I have been confused, it's not wholly my fault.

The F.B.I. scolded several news outlets on Wednesday for mistakenly reporting that an arrest had been made in the Boston Marathon bombings, and warned that such unverified reporting could have “unintended consequences” for its investigation.
Numerous organizations, including The Associated Press, The Boston Globe and several local Boston television stations, erroneously reported Wednesday afternoon that an arrest had been made, or that a suspect was in custody, citing unnamed law enforcement sources. Two of the reports came from CNN and the Fox News Channel, both the subject of widespread criticism last June after misreporting the result of the Supreme Court ruling on President Obama’s health care overhaul law.

You people also know do you that if your suspected of terrorism by usa, your on there list forever. Does not matter if your guilty or not, they may decide to torture you the rest of your life.

So saying someone is innocent is wrong in this, as usa gov cares not about that. If your on there list as one, your life may be effectively ruined forever, no matter if you did anything or not.

I am talking about anyone america targets in general, not anything just to do with this case at the mo.

By all means, tell us how you know this.
 
If you ever get on a terrorism list from usa, your on for life no matter what.

Does not matter if anyone is guilty or not, i think usa just want a certain amount of people on it. All you people thinking you can get of that list alive are wrong, if usa targets you you are on it for life. They do not care about whether its true or not.
