papasmurf, my old Fredhead friend, that link leads to a blog, not to a newspaper, wire service, network or other “reliable” new source. The blog post has no links, as I said in my original post in this thread.

Now if it had been Ed Morrissey or Allah at Hot Air or some other major blog, I might have believed it. But Morrissey and the top bloggers wouldn’t post something like that without a direct quote from the father or a LE official to Morrissey himself or a link to a news source which had published a story with such a quote in it.

The kid is at the conter of the investigation. He might be the hacker. Based on circumstantial evidence, he appears to be the hacker. But we don’t know that for a fact yet.

There’s no solid smoking gun.

Such is the state of journalism.
Isn't such an article nothing more than a teaser or a cliffhanger?
