Is Released Boston Bombings Saudi Man Really Innocent?

Just after the Boston Marathon bombings and before they knew the identity of the two main suspects, the Tsarnaev brothers, the police questioned Abdul Rahman Ali Alharbi, a Saudi man, as a "person of interest". He was running away from the scene of the crime after the explosions like so many others, but he had acted in a way that a witness found suspicious.

He was just at the finish line of the Boston Marathon when the bombs exploded and he got injured but, instead of seeking medical assistance, he was running away.

This is the summary of the story so far:

•A Saudi national originally identified as a “person of interest” in the Boston Marathon bombing was set to be deported under section 212 3B — “Security and related grounds” — “Terrorist activities” after the bombing

•As the story gained traction, TheBlaze’s Chief Content Officer Joel Cheatwood received word that the government may not deport the Saudi national, originally identified as Abdul Rahman Ali Alharbi

•Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano refused to answer questions on the subject when confronted by Rep. Jeff Duncan (R-SC) on Capitol Hill.

•An ICE official said a different Saudi national is in custody, but is “in no way” connected to the bombings.

•A congressional source, however, says that the file on Alharbi was created, that he was “linked” in some way to the Boston bombings (though it is unclear how), and that documents showing all this have been sent to Congress.

•Key congressmen of the Committee on Homeland Security request a classified briefing with Napolitano

•Fox News’ Todd Starnes reports

I thought that it is useful, since I made a research on that, to add the result of that research as information.

Interesting that you thought this might best be done by having people visit your blog.

I do not seek to steal traffic from Free Republic, in fact I hope that my pieces may do the opposite.

I suppose then that you will stop diddling that excerpt button and post the full text here.

Since you seem to be knowledgeable on this or at least you believe so, can you please point to me where in FR’s rules of use it says that you cannot post excerpts from your writings?

It is my beliefe that the Tsarnaevs set the backpacks down ie chose the victims, but that AlHarbi “pulled the trigger.” If these clowns used rc cars circuits to set off the bombs, WHERE ARE THE CONTROLLERS. Who pulled the trigger?

Why are you seemingly so determined to excerpt your blog?

Is that perhaps part of your business model?

Farming Free Republic for hits?

I repeat my question: where in FR’s rules of use does it say that you cannot post excerpts from your writings?

[humblegunner]

There is no hard and fast rule about that.
I can direct you to the owner stating he would prefer that you did not:

“I have no complaint if a good conservative blogger posts his own material to FR, not as an excerpt to drive hits and discussion back to his blog, but rather to impart useful information to OUR readers and to promote and join in on the discussion and conservative activism HERE on FR.

If a blogger can’t or refuses do that, and if he constantly complains or fights with our participants over it, then I’d just as soon he doesn’t post here. It’s not my job to make his content or his presentation or cooperation acceptable to our readers. That’s his job. And if he cannot do it or refuses to do it and continues posting brief excerpts only and obviously attempting to draw away our participants while loudly complaining about it, then I have no sympathy for his complaints and the more apt I am to ban his account and blog.”

Now answer MY question.
Why are you so keen to excerpt your own blog?

Just fishing for a few hits?

Thank you, that clarifies the issue, at least partly.

I’ll keep that in mind, although, as you say, there are no hard and fast rules. I got the spirit of it. Jim Robinson says: “I’m not big on “rules.””.

You do that.
