I think we all are well aware that we don't have absolute proof of anything here. But why do you relentlessly pound us about it. We have some facts, and we have intuition. The truth will only play out if this story is not smothered.

The only thing I have "pounded" was places where I thought speculation was being labelled as "fact" (like when the fact of non-functioning cell phones turned into a "fact" that the cell phones had been disabled -- I still don't know whether they were or not, but there were reports of people using cell phones during the time, and there was no official confirmation of cell phones being disabled. That said, it makes perfectly good sense that the authorities would have disabled cell phone service after the incident, as part of normal protocol.).

I don't think we have facts yet to prove a 2nd bomb. I know there was an early report were someone in authority SAID there was another bomb, but people are known to make mistakes, and the current story (that stuff was blown up by the police) is a rational one.

It could be the new reports, when confirmed, will paint the picture of a student who fell under the influence of islamic terrorism -- but even those reports don't provide facts of a conspiracy, of multiple bombs, or of other accomplices.

I may well write about this, and if I do I don't want to state as fact anything that was really just speculation.

I am surprised this isn't getting covered like the boat accident. And contrary to my own statement, I guess I CAN believe the media is supressing the information, maybe because the government has asked them to, but I find it hard to believe the media would do anything helpful to the country. And I don't think they will supress this to keep the economy going, it would have to be a short-term supression.
