we hear the saudi that the cops were holding in the hospital is not going to be questioned any further and will be deported immediately.
what happened to the FBI hearing that was never aired today?
what about the navy seals with back packs?
first there was an arrest....then no arrest?
WTF?
No official source announced that there was an arrest in this case. The Saudi was questioned as a possible witness, not as a suspect.

You can almost hear the Conspiracy theories simmering on this board. When it's announced that security had bomb sniffing dogs checking the area... (just like at the Superbowl, The world series, Presidential Inauguration... etc etc etc) this board sees a CONSPIRACY!
Facts on this board are hard to come by... so far I've read that the bombing was carried out by Muslims, by the FBI, and by "THE GOVT"... all speculation but that speculation in the mind of the Right Wing Conspiracy Sheep will run with any possible scenario... as they ignore the actual FACTS.
I could blame a dozen different groups that are "LIKELY SUSPECTS"... but what's the point? Unless the point IS to promote a particular agenda.

MSNBC host Lawrence O'Donnell made the case this evening that the National Rifle Association is to blame for the slow investigation into the Boston bombings:
(CNN) -- Richard Jewell, the security guard wrongly suspected and later cleared of setting off a deadly bomb at Atlanta, Georgia's Centennial Olympic Park during the 1996 Olympics, died Wednesday morning, his attorney, Lin Wood, told CNN.
Richard Jewell, who was wrongly suspected of setting off a bomb during the 1996 Olympics, has died.
Jewell, 44, died of natural causes at his home in Woodbury, Georgia, according to Meriwether County Coroner Johnny Worley.
Jewell had been suffering from diabetes and kidney failure since February, Worley said.
Worley is working with the Georgia Bureau of Investigation on the autopsy, which should be completed Thursday afternoon. No foul play is suspected, he said. Video Watch friends remember Jewell as dedicated »
After 12 weeks of scrutiny following the bombing, Jewell was cleared by the FBI and U.S. Attorney Kent Alexander in an unprecedented government acknowledgment of wrongful accusation.
"I am not the Olympic Park bomber," Jewell told reporters after being cleared. "I am a man who has lived 88 days afraid of being arrested for a crime I did not commit."
The FBI, Jewell said, trampled on his rights "in its rush to show the world it could get its man," while the news media "cared nothing about my feelings as a human being" in its rush to get a story on the bombing. Jewell was working as a private security guard in Centennial Olympic Park about 1 a.m. on July 27 when he noticed a suspicious unidentified package and began moving people away from it. The package turned out to contain a bomb, which eventually killed one person and wounded more than 100.
Initially hailed a hero for moving people away, he was later cast in a different light when the FBI began investigating whether he had set off the bomb to give himself an opportunity to be a hero.
For weeks, reporters and camera crews camped outside Jewell's Atlanta apartment, capturing every move that he -- and the FBI -- made.
He later sued the FBI and several media organizations. CNN and NBC were among the organizations that settled with him.
In April, 2005, Eric Robert Rudolph pleaded guilty to the bombing. Rudolph was captured in Murphy, North Carolina, in May 2003 after one of the largest manhunts in U.S. history.
Rudolph also pleaded guilty to the 1998 bombing of a family planning clinic in Birmingham, Alabama, that killed a police officer and two 1997 bombings at an abortion clinic and a gay nightclub in Georgia.
He is serving four consecutive life sentences plus 120 years for the conviction
What are the facts Box? Do you remember the Olympic "bomber" We were told he did it and he didn't .
Since you asked... here are the FACTS:
Quoted Text
Security guard Richard Jewell discovered the bomb before detonation and cleared most of the spectators out of the park. After the bombings, Jewell was falsely implicated as a suspect by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the news media focused aggressively on him as the presumed culprit. However, in October 1996, Jewell was cleared of all charges.
Jewell was never charged with the crime. Much was written about Jewell and much of it was, like what happens on this board, speculation by the press.
Jewell was free to sue the press for it's false statements. IMO, his rights were not violated by the FBI.

"While Foreign Terrorists were plotting to murder and maim using homemade bombs in Boston, Democrap officials in Washington DC, Albany and here were busy watching ME and other law abiding American Citizens who are gun owners and taxpayers, in an effort to blame the nation's lack of security on US so that they could have a political scapegoat."

Looking at the horrific deaths and injuries in Boston, how can anyone in their right mind condone the usage of this kind of savage weaponry abroad against non-combatants?????????????????
