It was labelled as "not terrorist related" for well over half a year. It wasn't until 2003 that a dry report was quietly released that revealed that, gee whiz, that nutty Egyptian Muslim who went and shot up the El-Al terminal (prior to swiftly getting capped by El-Al security) did indeed have terrorist links!
Expect the same thing here. Look for the dry report to be quietly released around May of 2006...long after everyone else has forgotten about it.
The local media couldn't ignore it -- 84,000 people at the football game knew something had happened. Plus on-the-scene witnesses like PhiKapMom giving reports to FR, and thus into the hands of many thousands more. Plus the blogs picking it up and spreading
Now after a week of FR and the blogosphere, the media consensus must be that it cannot be covered up, and continuing to try will be irrefutable proof to even the most sleepy sheep that there is an orchestrated cover-up, with the MSM heavily involved
The MSM cannot afford to have even more people decide they are no longer a reliable source of news

I remember the attack. I missed the dry report. Another blow to government credibility.
