Please investigate the persistant rumor that the Boston bombs were detonated via Obamaphones!

NO.
Latest news it that it was remote control gas car starters.

Indeed. Very serious persistent fact.

No.
From the photos I saw, it looked like common R/C model controllers were used.

Whatever the mechanism, as long as no governemnt employees were hurt, 0bama and the Democrats and the liberal media don’t have a problem with exploiting it to advance their political ends.

Last official word I heard was that toy radio control xmitters and receivers were used. However, I expect this version to be subject to change as have most other “facts” in this case.

Yeah... because all Radio Control Cars and Planes are started by dialing them with your cell phone. (/s)
Even the two damaged circuit boards found are a ruse by the bombers to confuse the investigators.
The ‘fireworks’ these two used are what they called ‘mortar shells’ for an ‘artillery cannon’. They have a LONG FUSE on them, ready to USE. All they had to do was light it, close the pressure cooker, and walk away.

Here is a picture of them so you can see what I mean. I have used these and they are very powerful. Wrap them with nails, bb's and duct tape and you have a dangerous anti-personnel bomb.
The suspects bought TWO of these packages

2.4Ghz RC stuff would have a up to 1/2 mile range and would be cheaper than a phone and un traceable. 2.4gh RX’s are $5, ESC’s to ignite a fuse are $6, TX’s are $15...and this is for GOOD stuff.
These guys would have to be complete idiots to use a cell phone with this small of a bomb. Maybe with an OKC sized bomb.

From what I have read the terrorists used RC car receivers.

this is where Kerry gets to say, what difference does it make, during the hearing that will go nowhere.

I don’t think it’s really a persistent rumor.
