MSM has their own priorities, this unfortunately is not one of them.

[MizSterious]

Ping!

If cBS did find/make-up info on this, why would anyone believe it is the truth?

[cripplecreek]

I for one am not buying the whole "national security / ongoing investigation" song and dance anymore. There have been far too many amazing coincidences in Oklahoma over the last decade for anyone paying attention to ignore.

"misinformed social reactions"

Hmmm. As opposed to what, informed social inaction? So, the silence was and is motivated by fear of the reaction of the American public.

That, by itself, speaks volumes.

I would like to know if it can be verified that Hinrichs attempted to gain entry to the stadium. That by itself would make this event seem less like a suicide and more like an act of terror or terror/suicide.

If true, then the challenge becomes the determination of what motivated him.

[BenLurkin]

If investigators found a connection between this young man and islamic terrorists, they might have to reconsider past evidence of links between islamic terrorists and non-muslim domestic bombers.

[TBall]

Of course it is ok if you want to live life with your blinders on. I took off the blinders a while ago and realized that the news is more of an agenda than anything else. So the agenda does not think it is wise to report on this story, so what. It has been that way for a long time and if it takes this story for you to figure it out then good.

[VRWCTexan]

The lame stream press will only report on this if they can determine some means to link it to yet more Bush bashing...

[tall_tex]

Add to that, the UCLA Bruin web site, reporting a bomb found Friday, still has a link that will not load.

The fact that today at Georgia Tech had a confirmed, bomb go off near campus, with two others found that did not, has not been reported on the National news.

Go here for link. www.11alive.com/news/news_articleaspx?storyid+70306

Something is going on big time by, as it looks like so far, amateur bombers. Or are they trying to prefect their chosen trade.

I would put on my tin-foil hat, but I do not think these things warrant tin-foil, just a heads up to our country. Sadly our government and media think we don't need one.

We don't want to hurt our economy or attendance to football games.

My thoughts, I may be wrong, I hope so.

[rightwingintelligentsia]

I just can't understand the silence on incident. It's almost as if the authorities are afraid of what they might find if they look too deeply.

[tall_tex]

Woops, link is:www.11alive.com/news/news_article.aspx?storyid=70306

Sorry, ;)

[cripplecreek]

I don't think they're worried about what they'll find. I think they're more worried about what we the people will find out. I don't believe our government is actively trying to get us killed but I suspect they'll leave us exposed to danger to protect their secrets.

""The lame stream press will only report on this if they can determine some means to link it to yet more Bush bashing...""

Agreed, but only in that if they can't nail it on Bush, and they can somehow nail it on a NON-MUSLIM..... then and only then will it be news worthy.

[VastRWCon]

I ment to say a white-non-muslim.

[RegulatorCountry]

"It's almost as if the authorities are afraid of what they might find if they look too deeply."

If "vigilantism" is what authorities fear, they're certainly not making this sort of "misinformed social reaction" less likely by denying and stonewalling. That worked in the past, with terrorist events that were more abstract, with no surviving firsthand witnesses. This was not a plane crash or explosion, that could have many alternate explanations. The lone, depressed suicide story does not hold up. There are people posting to this board who were there. They're hacks? Only if you want to deny, divert and discredit.

The guards were told to shut up about that, and the University /FBI says no CCTV cameras showed him attempting. Yet the story persists of someone sprinting off when guards asked to inspect his bag. I wish someo Freeper would just go down the the stadium and look for TV cameras at each of the gates and post if all gates are covered. (NOTE: I didn't say to post WHICH gates are covered - not that it matters, because I don't know anyone so dumb that they can't find a CCTV camera with a casual glance around, no secrets being given away here. But the safe way is to not say.)

"I wish someo Freeper would just go down the the stadium and look for TV cameras at each of the gates and post if all gates are covered."

Already been done. Talk to PhiKapMom.

If it wasn't for FR, I wouldn't know about any of the bombings. Thank goodness for the internet. It's getting harder and harder for them to hide these types of events.
