The NYT will be sure to tell 'em precisely what the 'technical' reason was - and EXACTLY how to do it right next time...

I suspect the "technical reason" was that the "detonator" phones were no longer connected to the explosives when the call was made. Cell phones are very reliable, even though the network is sometimes less so than one might like.

Early reports had a policeman "safing" the first car bomb "just in time", after the "suspicious vehicle" with vapor coming out of it was reported by an ambulance attendant.

Wonder if someone is periodically dumping something in the white house water? Maybe the bombings are all a feint and secretly they have been releasing the ‘Stupid’ gas. Hmmmmmmm

How long til the NYT tells us what the mistake was, so they can get it right next time?

One week and counting ( it'll take them a few days to get the answer...) Seven, six....

No, you’re not the only one. Terrorism experts on both sides of the pond have been telling the media that these three connected incidents look like “amateur hour” to them.

Gasoline and propane as explosives for carbombs is the latest technique that terrorists are using to nullify the bomb sniffing dogs (trained to sense plastic explosives and nitrate based explosives). The gasoline/propane bombs are not strong enough to bring down buildings but are aimed at killing people.

Fortunately, the terrorists haven't figured out how to work with PETN, which they refer to as Satan's Sister. They forget they fumes need to be displaced by pure medical grade O2.

If they can pack a bottle in dry ice, then set it to bleed 4 cubic feet a minute, they could master the beast in a closed area, no problemo, but it's expensive and hard to get stuff.

I’d bet the jammers are the answer. BTW, the cell phone jammers are illegal for personal use in the US. Thanks to our government.
