Alex Jones didn't "break" any news. Those photos were found, analyzed, and posted with details on some user supported web sites (reddit, imagur, 4chan) 24-48 hours before Alex Jones knew anything about them.

"They can give me a cavity search right now and I'd be perfectly happy," said Daniel Wood, a video producer from New York City who was waiting for a train.

oh my gosh there are SO many one-line responses I want to type right now but ALL of them are unfit for 9-year-old readers

only thing that could make the set up more perfect is if this guy was in San Francisco (hope that doesn't go too far itself - if so, my apologies and please remove this line)

They are based on the evaluation of one Dr. Jeff Addicott, who is an actual terrorism expert (Director of St Mary's Center for Terrorism Law ) and not some political hack at CNN. I'll wager he knows more about this stuff than all of us put together.

My comments were not intended as a swipe against you, bdickens (as I stated, just playing devil's advocate). And I was certainly not advocating anything PC or "can't we all get along".

By one and only point is that - regardless of level of expertise - there is not enough publicly known information to say with any clarity at all who is responsible. Thus - as I said - it's all conjecture and speculation at this point.

That said, I agree with you that a terrorism expert certainly trumps the-guy-at-CNN-who-last-saw-bin-laden-before-9/11/01 ... but trumping a 2 with a 3 when there are multiple face cards still in the deck isn't much of a trump.

it's sickening the degree of bias in the media - in both directions

one will end up being "right" in the end and crow about how right they were and how wrong the other side was. but at this point, as I said, it's all just speculation.

Was Peter Bergen born that stupid, or did he have to practice?

This bears all the hallmarks of Islamic terrorism. Everything from the type of explosion to the large, public event where there would be mass casualties screams "Radical Islam."

Right-wing terrorists -- if there was such a thing, which there isn't despite Big Sis' fondest wishes -- would target government facilities: Federal buildings, IRS offices and the like.

Left-wing terrorists target business interests and capitalist institutions.

To play devils advocate, the MO's you detail are not absolutes.

Eric Rudolph (Atlanta Olympics bombing and others) would be an example of a domestic terrorist with right-leaning political motivations who staged similar bombings at a similar event (no government building involved).

It's all just speculation and conjecture at this point, some of it heavily slanted toward the "bad guy" some pundits hope it will be for their particular political gain.
