Badly Wounded Boston Marathon Bombing Suspect Responding To Questions
2013-04-22
Just the new information in a long article.
[NBCnews] Despite a serious throat wound preventing him from speaking, the surviving Boston Marathon bombing suspect is beginning to respond to questions from Sherlocks, federal officials tell NBC News.

Nearly 48 hours after he was taken into custody following an intense shootout and manhunt, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, 19, was communicating with a special team of federal Sherlocks at Beth Israel Deaconess Hospital. He was responding to questions mostly in writing because of the throat wound, according to the officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity. The suspect remains at death's door.
And the blessing of non-news from London:
About 36,000 runners participated in the London Marathon on Sunday amid heightened security, many of them wearing black ribbons to commemorate the victims in Boston or carrying "For Boston" signs.
No bombs, no shootings, no terror. Whether nobody had thought to do anything, or the security was just that good, let us be glad nothing happened that ought not have done.

* FYI DEMOCRATIC UNDERGROUND > [CNN.com] SOURCE: BOSTON BOMB SUSPECT [Dzhokhar]SAYS BROTHER [Tamerlan] WAS BRAIN ["driving force"] BEHIND ATTACK.

* SAME > [CBS News] OFFICIALS: BOMBING SUSPECT [Dzhokhar] SAYS HE + BROTHER ACTED ALONE, widout any Foreign or International MilTerr Groups helping them.

* LUCIANNE > [AP]OFFICIALS: BOSTON SUSPECTS MOTIVATED BY RELIGION.

VERSUS

* LUCIANNE > [Daily Mail UK] DID "CONTROLLING" MOTHER OF BOSTON BOMBERS LEAD THEM ON THE PATH OF RADICALISM? UNCLE CLAIMS SHE ALLOWED HARDLINE CLERIC - WHOM BELIEVED HE COULD TALK TO DEMONS - TO PREACH TO BOYZ AT THEIR KITCHEN TABLE.

OOOOOOOOOO, you just know Mom is going end up a skeleton in an Alfred Hitchcock classic movie ["Psycho"] starring Anthony Hopkins in a blonde wig???

#11  You want "extremely disturbing? Here is extremely disturbing:

At least one of the three young people, one of the two young ladies, who were murdered in the Boston blast was reportedly blown to bits, with police and bystanders found wiping innards and blood from their clothing. Very reminiscent of Afghanistan.

(Unconfirmed reporting from a medical professional in Boston to relative here in the Atlanta area)

#10  Sorry but the officer he murdered was the one who was supposed to throw himself in the path of the charging car and for some reason he wasn't available at the time.

#9  I reckon the police should have prevented his brother driving over him in a stolen car...

#8  The Modern Liberal Proffesor Incarnate:

City University of New York Professor Ruth O'Brien complains in an op-ed that "too much force" had been used against Boston Marathon bomber Tamerlan Tsarnaev, who was killed by the police.
She writes:
Now we have captured the two terrorists from Chechnya who come from the troubled region that is Muslim, but we cannot understand their motives, not yet. And Obama encourages us to refrain.
This said, the mortuary pictures of the older brother of the two are extremely disturbing, raising questions as to whether the Boston Police Department captured him with too much force. I understand the explanation offered by Katharine Q. Seelye, William H. Rashbaum, and Michael Cooper. Yet, it does not ring true. A picture is worth a thousand words that will keep our ears ringing as we recoil from this photo. Images have a way of searing themselves into our memory in a way that canÂ’t be undone. We have an emotional memory, not just a rational one that is exemplified by words.
While terrorism is about causing fear — again an emotion — we do have to account for our conduct in these extreme times when adrenaline is running high.
At my home, to at least offset this, we turn off all media. I couldn’t believe my sons’ explanation when they got home about one brother running over the other one. So I found a place to read about this, and I recoiled after seeing the picture. Still, we all know that terrorism, like crime, “leads if it bleeds” with the established media. The established media fixates on the domestic-violence or crime-of-passion aspect of terrorism, and it, too, inculcates more fear in all of us.
She has no clue as to what the real world is about. Most Terrorists dould rather die than be captured.

#5  Yeah, I have read that the current from an AA battery, applied directly to the myocardium, can induce arrest. So the electric chair really is about selling the sizzle...
