Jackson said he looked in the car and saw keys in the ignition with 19 or 20 keys on a ring. He said he alerted a passing mounted police officer.

who has 19 or 20 keys on a ring?

It's a security guard mentality, or maybe a building superintendant. Keys equate to power in that little world, strange as it sounds. Some of them have a huge, oldfashioned metal keyring and display them on a belt loop.

But he had no plans to return to work, would not need all the keys again?

More like terrorist test-run.

Well, if you accept that it’s a failed terrorist bombing, that would be the likely reason for leaving them behind. The vehicle needed to be left running for a reason, that required at least a key unless it was hotwired.

If it’s some sort of agitprop, then there’s another set of reasons. I certainly don’t know the mechanics of making a bomb or IED, and all I know about fertilizer is the 10-10-10 that I put on my lawn in the fall. If it’s not just reporter idiocy, and it’s admittedly always difficult to rule that out, using a form of fertilizer that is not explosive makes the whole thing sound, well ... safe, and somebody didn’t want to inavertantly blow themselves up.

Too many loose ends to really form an opinion, imho. But, the propagandistas are out in front placing blame for political advantage, just as during the Clinton administration and just as during the sniper attacks in DC. There are ample reasons to suspect this description, given those precedents. Then again, they could have learned in the interim, but that’s the wildest speculation of all.

"No one seems to care why or how it happened."

Not sure what the heck you might mean by "no one", because I know an entire state full of folks that want to know why and how it happened. We live in Louisiana.

I’m sure the gasoline and propane tanks exploding would have been sufficient to induce terror.

Sometimes when someone appears to do something so stupid it cannot be believed it is because it did not happen that way.

This sounds stupid. Too stupid to be anything but an Obama admin plant.

Does the FBI know where Bill Ayers was that day? That bomb has all the hallmarks of his work!
