    i think the opposite...cos a foreign its easy to answer why..domestic will have a lot of questions and alot of conspiracy theories
    The "why" is the least of their worries; no matter what the reason, of course every American will say that the actions were wrong and misguided and evil. The important part is in how future threats are evaluated and prevented, and how justice is carried out. That is much more difficult if it's also a matter of foreign affairs and policy.

    True, true. But he is definitely not the guy John King is describing.

    Well, probably not. But it definitely could cause some difficulties... Not that I blame JimmyV for posting it. Of course these kinds of things are going to draw some attention, and it's human nature to look at them. I mean, that was probably the most interesting photo I've seen today. :willshrug:
    how u would you feel if was your face there,andall over the world talking that maybe you put bombs and kill people??
    how people will look at you next day at the office??
    Yeah, it would suck, as I already said. The point is, whatcha gonna do?? There is no stopping it.
    And if that was me and I didn't do anything wrong, and I came into work, and I would tell everyone that that's ridiculous, of course I didn't do it, and everyone would believe me.

    CNN reports an arrest has been made. Let's hope this is the guy.

    Thanks, but I was wrong to post that. I will never forget the name Richard Jewel because he was the first suspect in the Olympic 1996 bombing in Atlanta. His name got shredded but he turned out to not be the guy. I shouldn't have contributed to that.

    i'm not saying these ricin letters are related to the marathon bombing, but someone posted the other ricin article in this thread yesterday so i thought i would follow it up here.

    the timing is interesting though. just like the anthrax letters after 9/11.

    Letter sent to Obama tests positive for ricin, officials say

    http://usnews.nbcnews.com/_news/2013/04 ... s-say?lite

    A letter addressed to President Barack Obama tested positive for the poison ricin and was from the same sender who mailed a letter to a senator that also tested positive, officials told NBC News on Wednesday.

    The letter to Obama was intercepted at an off-site White House mail facility and was being tested further, a Secret Service official told NBC News. A federal law enforcement official said that the letter was “very similar” to one addressed to Sen. Roger Wicker, R-Miss., that tested positive in preliminary screening for ricin.

    Authorities cleared the atrium of a Senate office building Wednesday, but it was not immediately apparent why. Capitol police were also investigating a suspicious package at the office of Sen. Richard Shelby, R-Ala. Shelby’s staff had not been evacuated.

    Federal officials told NBC News that they believe they know who sent the letters, but no arrest was made, and authorities were waiting for further test results.

    Ricin is made from castor beans and can kill within 36 hours. There is no antidote. Some threatening letters simply contain ground castor beans, resulting in a positive field test for ricin without the concentrated poison. Results from full laboratory tests are expected in the next 24 to 48 hours.

    An FBI official told NBC News that the agency did not initially believe the letters were related to the attack on the Boston Marathon on Monday.

    The letter to Obama was received at the mail facility Tuesday, the official said. The FBI said Tuesday that a letter intended for Sen. Roger Wicker, R-Miss., had initially tested positive for ricin.

    The Wicker letter was intercepted at a postal facility in Maryland that screens mail sent to Congress, and never reached Wicker’s office. The senator thanked law enforcement and said an investigation was underway but did not elaborate.

    Other senators were made aware of the Wicker letter during a briefing Tuesday evening on the bombing in Boston. Sen. Claire McCaskill, D-Mo., said that the person who sent Wicker the letter writes often to elected officials.
    The Wicker letter was postmarked Memphis, Tenn., and had no return addres.

    No doubt it would be a very bad week! Once someone else is arrested, though, it would be okay.

    CNN saying a federal law enforcement source is saying that they have video of the guy actually placing one of the bombs.

    That should put an end to a lot of the questions/conspiracies.
