#1 Law Enforcement announced yesterday that "they had made an arrest" then within minutes, they retracted. The Boston Court House was open, then it was cleared. No real reason given.

Author Steve Emerson said on Fox last night that one of the suspects or persons of interest had been deported to the KSA. Eleven million illegal Mexicans in the US and a Saudi national is immediately deported ?

This is already beginning to smell.

Law Enforcement announced yesterday that "they had made an arrest" then within minutes, they retracted.

No, they didn't. The press claimed there was an arrest, then was told there wasn't.

#6 The Fox News claim reportedly came from a LE source whilst the Boston Court House was surrounded by people waiting to see or hear something. The onlookers were pushed back and the Court House was emptied for an unknown reason. We continue to wait for the LE report or update.

#7 Jerusalem Post 17 April 2013:

BOSTON - Citing US and Boston law enforcement sources, CNN reported on Wednesday that authorities have arrested a suspect in the Boston Marathon bombings based on security video that showed a man depositing a bag at the scene before the blasts. A US law enforcement source told Reuters that a suspect had been identified and that a formal announcement would be made later in the day.

#8 Reporters lie. Their sources may have been blowing smoke, or misinformed, or lying.

This is why you wait for an official, on-the-record statement, not anonymous tips handled by hacks.

#9 Rob, I think the off-the-record lies and disinformation are coming from the same people who eventually dictate whatever the official statement turns out to be.

#10 They [law enforcement] had someone in custody until they got the phone call.

I don't think this one is going to soon go away.

#11 Just add it to the stench from Benghazi, Fast&Furious, and a few dozen other smelly activities of Barry and friends. Nothing to see here, just move along.

This whole crowd is beginning to make me ill, and smell has nothing to do with it. Though they DO smell, also.

#12 Of course an ISLAMIC terrorist wouldn't fit the narrative.

Now if this had been a white supremist group or some hyperchristian nutjob, they would have trotted him out in chains and made a big splash news conference.
Going behind closed doors and getting the misguided child engaged in the family business out of town so the narrative is intact seems to be the drill here.
Why can't these people play ANYTHING straight?
They'd lie and equivocate about what they ate for lunch...wait they already do that.
