Napolitano: ‘We need the public’s help’ with Marathon video (but won't release video)
Boston Herald.com ^ | Thursday, April 18, 2013 | By:John Zaremba .

Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano said today the FBI is seeking to locate people in video from the marathon, but she added she isn’t calling them suspects.

Without providing details of what the video shows, Napolitano told the House Homeland Security Committee that “there is some video that raised the question” of individuals the FBI would like to interview.

"We have been collecting video from a variety of sources, as you might imagine, at the finish line of the Boston Marathon,” Napolitano said. “There’s lots and lots of video. There is some video that has raised the question of those that the FBI would like to speak with.

I wouldn’t characterize them as suspects under the technical term. But we need the public’s help in locating these individuals.”

"The pretense, and it seems reasonable, is that if detailed faces of perps is shown publicly they might flee."

Police routinely show security camera photos or police sketches of suspects in all sorts of crimes. The expectation is that they might ALREADY be fleeing, and that releasing the photos will allow the public to hinder their escape by reporting their whereabouts.

The kid that was detained and now being deported

Now we're hearing he might not be deported. Too much heat on the Obama administration after that info got out.

They'll prolly put him up in a luxury apartment, under a fake name, and wait a few months until this has blown over--or so they hope.

>>>First of all, the “Katrina fiasco” was largely a media creation stemming from their hatred of Bush.>>>

Thank you for that.

I was about to comment that Pres. Bush called the governor of LA. several times begging him to ask for assistance. The Gov. refused. It’s US law that the president can’t send in troops w/o the governor’s request, otherwise Zero would have taken over all 50 states by now.

Several times in the last few years there have been nation wide excercises involving Feds and local LEOs and first responders. Even to the extent of having victim actors.

Recall the big TSA/HLS announcement of the ‘crack’ VIPR teams for big public events. Where dey at?

The evening of the attack the UK Telegraph posted a photo album among which was one of an unidentified roof top on the course route. There were two visible uniformed snipers at the roof corner. One was on station at the gun. Second one was standing back fromthe low parapet, with his scoped rifle resting on the roof several feet away at the other wall of the corner.

While they and their agency and location were not identifed, it’s SOP now for rooftop observers and countersnipers at high profile/high value peep events. One can assume that the finish line with VIPs and media cluster have been previously identified as high potential targets/kill zones.

The next day that photo was in the memory hole. Poof, gone.

So where were the Boston, state, and federal officers?

Having donuts somewhere? Cause judging by the results and immediate reaction only the street cops, EMTs, race medics and “civilians” responded.

I suspect there was all too much strutting and turf claiming at mgmt levels creating the typical roadblocks and lags present in every overblown bureaucracy.

The flustercluck after the fact IMO confirms that.

LMAO at that fat lying and incompetent clown.

If I had ANY information that could help solve this case, and I don’t, there is no way in hell that I would call Janet Napolitano or ANY of her people.

I’d call Senator Ted Cruz, a conservative and a patriot that actually works for the continued survival of America.

This government is SNAFU. “We need the public’s help but we refuse to tell them anything because they are too ignorant to understand anything because most of them are suspects being gun owners and Christians and such.”

I was a database system administrator back in the 80’s. The bigwigs were told by the software company that I couldn’t get into their encrypted data without leaving a trail....

We need the public’s help to solve a massive bombing case in the middle of a major American city.

But you don’t need guns to protect yourself because you can count on the Government to do that.

BUT you can not see the photos we are looking at.

” It’s US law that the president can’t send in troops w/o the governor’s request, “

The Stafford Act. Gov Blanco was supposed to send a Stafford letter to Bush detailing exactly what she wanted, and it did not include soldier boots on the ground or FEMA, so they could not go in. Storm was Sunday iirc and it wasn’t until Thursday that she sent the right authorization. I’ve wondered if her Dem friends had her screw it up deliberately so the Dems could gain power over the GOP (what’s a few lives when you can get more power?).

Sorry, Uncle Janet, but “that isn’t worthy of a response.” You and your thugs are so competent, find the perps your own damn selves.....

I remember from the olden days, when the authorities would issue an "all points bulletin." The idea was to capture the bad guys.

If these people are suspects, then release the photos. If not, shut up.

The pretense, and it seems reasonable, is that if detailed faces of perps is shown publicly they might flee.

It's more likely that they've already left the country, and this delay makes it even more likely.

So it looks like they have been relying on the internet to find them. Didn’t seem to work. Kind a like saying the terror attack in bengazi was because of an internet video in the beginning. it’s been 7 months since the last terror attack.

The sheeple won’t remember the video not being relased. All they’ll remember is that the case was so difficult they asked the public to help. When it’s not solved, then it’ll be because the public wasn’t able to ID the perps and Janet gets another free pass.
