Suspect should never have got on plane: NY mayorEspecially when you want to find out as much as possible. He was being followed and closely monitored as he proceeded to the plane

NEW YORK - New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg on Tuesday criticized the fact that the Times Square bombing suspect was able to board a plane bound for Dubai ...

It's possible that they let him get that far on purpose, since it offers pretty irrefutable proof that he was attempting to flee to a foreign country. Also possible that there was discussion of letting him go, if Dubai and Pakistani officials could be pinned down on specific commitments to limit his movements afterwards.
Things were happening quickly, with a lot of agencies, both domestic and foreign, involved. It may be that they originally wanted to let him lead them to his associates, but then were able to determine who his associates were before the flight departed.
In the world of intelligence, things are rarely as they appear. For all we know, there may have been a dozen FBI, CIA, Dubai, Pakistani, and UAE intel operatives seated on that flight, all assigned to keep tabs on Mr. Shahzad.
Suspect should never have been called "an amateur lone wold white guy who was against Bowrama's health care plan" either should he, Bloomberg! Bloomberg is an egotistical, head up his ass, liberal!
