Well wait a minute here Mr. muir, they announced to the world about 5 hours ago, they had video of the suspect planting the bomb at the bomb site, but they had no ID of the suspect yet.
Could you explain how airing the video in the hopes of identifying the suspect could compromise their investigation?
I think they already have fine photos of the islamic terrorists carrying and planting the bombs. BUt busting THAT terror cell the day before a big senate gun control vote would ruin Obama’s plan. Cracking down on US gun owners the day AFTER another moslem attack would be “bad optics”.
Lots of reasons. Most of these kind of communications are aimed a lot more at the perp than the general public. Maybe the video isn’t actually that good and there’s no way they could get an ID from it. But people that thin the FBI is closing in on them start panicking, and panic actions draw attention. Or maybe they have the ID but they don’t know if he’s tied to a group, again panic actions could lead them to his group. The real world of criminal investigation relies a lot more on mistakes by the bad guy than TV shows make us think, and than investigators really want to admit.
Easily. They’re toying with the perpetrators by making conflicting announcements in hopes of provoking a mistake by the rest of the cell. They may have a minor player or a chump but they want to know who else is involved. You don’t for one minute believe all these different stories and conflicting reports are unintended do you? This is a purposeful, man-made fog of war.
Aren’t you concerned that a tree may have been harmed in this bombing?
