You know this is interesting, the perp of the failed Times Square bombing gets a life sentence and another successful bombing perp walks around free and his university colleagues praise him.

I still can’t believe the Times Square bomber turned out to be a Muslim terrorist. Mayor Bloomberg speculated that the bomber could have been someone upset about Obamacare. (sarcasm)
