Did newspaper editors and TV news producers – usually inquiring minds – buy into Boren’s quick dismissal of the event as just a troubled youth’s suicide and ensuing FBI statements that investigators had found no evidence to prove it was something other than a suicide?

Article is a good summary of the current state of affairs.

Well, that's good to know. If there are suicide bombers in a crowded place, the first priority will be to convince the media and public that terrorism is not a factor.

[lexington minuteman 1775]

How one in authority can make a proclamation like Boren without an investigation is beyond me.

This situation just goes along with what I have been thinking for a while and that is (and I could be wrong) statistically think about this.
How many explosions have there been just this last year at oil refineries? How many derailments of trains have there been this past year? How many explosions have there been in chemical plants around the country this year? How many explosions in paint factories this year?
All and I mean All have not been explained to the public or any information given out as to what has caused these destructions. No follow up information has been given out on any of these.
Only recently has these things happen all in one year and in the past a person would hardly hear any of this happening maybe one incident in a three or four year time frame.
Something to think about.
If terrorist are behind any of this, would it be wise to let the public know? How much panic would there be?
Just thinking.

Just ignore it, hide it, etc. It will blow over and no one will blame the poor Islomasidics for the blast. This kid was going out in a blaze of glory on the way to his 72 virgins. He just didn't get to his intended target. Has happened in the middle east before also, blowing up before he got to the targets. If this kid had got inside under the stands, thousands could have been killed. The MSM would probably still be ignoring it since they are aiders and abettors of the Islomicides.

Did media "buy into" Borens quick dismissal of the event?Could be that's the case,but i'm inclined to think the msm suspects as many of us do,that: 1)H was probably a convert to islam 2)This was an attempted terror attack that(fortunately)backfired on the perp.

[IndyInVa]

a good summary, but missing a couple of points.

1. Boren declared that Hinrichs did not try to enter the stadium long before there was any way he could have known that. In fact, I would presume that it would be nearly impossible to prove that someone did NOT try to enter. Proving that someone DID try to enter would be much easier. For example, if I tried to get in, and people saw me and remembered me, that would make a pretty good case. How can you expect every single ticket taker to be absolutely sure that a particular person did NOT try to get in at his gate? Totally ridiculous.

2. The article states that people are speculating that "he either detonated the bomb to kill himself or it went off accidentally." There is at least one more possibility: that someone else detonated the bomb, probably remotely.

There is evidence the student, Joel Hinrichs III of Colorado, was a loner with a history of depression.

So was Mohammed Atta.

News flash for newsies: Happy, well adjusted people do not seek to kill themselves and take as many as possible with them. Dismissing the terrorism link because the perp was depressive is getting a little, well, dumb.

Bumping for a good summary of the OU Bombing story. PKM, thought you should see this!

[CedarDave]

PING!

[ASOC]

"According to The Oklahoman, Norman Police confirmed that on September 26 Hinrichs attempted to buy aluminum nitrate from a Norman feed store. Aluminum nitrate..."

Something new about ANFO I missed?

"OU says Muslim student committed suicide"

I didnt know he was a "Muslim student." When did that become fact?

>In Bombing At OU Stadium There Are More Questions Than Answers

Well, when these people
investigate a case, they
don't always upload

their current theories
and leads to the internet!
Let the cops be cops!

[prairiebreeze]

and manipulated him into committing suicide in a big way

That's one possibility. Alternatively, Joel may have fully intended to leave the loaded backpack somewhere in the stadium and explode it remotely, afterwards running back to his ROP friends to brag about how many Americans he'd just killed.

Here's an odd story I picked off Michelle Malkins's blog:

http://www.nctimes.com/articles/2005/10/09/news/sandiego/19_21_2310_8_05.txt

Cops were called to the apartment of a student due to strange odors coming from the home in San Diego.

According to the article:
"Police were sent to the 8700 block of Costa Verde Boulevard after someone reported a strong odor coming from a condo about 1 p.m. Friday, SDPD Sgt. Jim Schorr said.

A man in the condo told officers everything was fine and shut the door, Schorr said. Within a couple of minutes, a gunshot was heard, prompting police to clear the building, Schorr said.


Khaled Yusefi, 29, killed himself...cops found chemical lab in his bathroom.

This article was previously posted yesterday. Here is the thread:
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1500046/posts

Several mistakes this author makes in relation to this case:

1.) "Hinrichs’ roommate, first reported to be a Pakistani, which I included in my October 7 story, has also been identified as a Palestinian."

He states that Cheema has been referred to as Palestinian - He is a Pakistani National, and I am not aware of anywhere he was been referred to otherwise. (I certainly could have missed it somewhere.)

2.) "...Hinrichs attempted to buy aluminum nitrate from a Norman feed store. Aluminum nitrate was used in the bombs at the Oklahoma City federal building..."

Hinrichs attempted to buy Ammonium Nitrate NOT Aluminum Nitrate.

Article is a good summary of the current state of affairs.

A correction is needed: The reports of aluminum nitrate don't exist.

It's ammonium nitrate.
