Thankfully, I only have one great big wooly eyebrow. :)
Depends on the FBI folks involved. Google Danny Defenbaugh.
The one thing that makes me wonder if they're still trying to round people up is that two news channels (so far) have said his Pakistani roommate can't be found. They also state he had no involvement whatever--which strains credibility to say the least! Roomie not involved? Then how the heck did he put together all those explosives without tipping him off??
That's what I am thinking as well -- detonating from somewhere else. I think it was an accident it blew up when it did -- not intentional but have to admit that I am really glad it did blow up when it did. We walk right by there going to and from games.
That picture blew me away after the explosives from his apartment that were detonated last night by Norman Police that shook my window and I am five miles away -- I drove to make sure this afternoon. That was no little amount of explosive material.
Norman and OU had some angels looking out for them that night. In my opinion, this guy did not intend it to be a lone suicide, but a massacre.
Pakistani would go along with the girl's description at my son's fraternity as they are dark skinned. No way could this guy be doing all of this and his roommate not know.
The Administration of OU would be better to say no comment then the stuff they are trying to peddle as facts.
I don't trust Boren a bit. I would assume that OU is roughly the size of Ohio State, which means there's something close to 100,000 students there. That he would know this one and know anything about him on short notice is unreasonable.
his room-mate was Pakistani? Is this confirmed? this could be the key link in this story.
I agree with you 100%! Thank God this blew up early and they wouldn't let someone in the stadium with a backpack. I cannot imagine the scene if he had gotten in the stadium and the bomb was detonated.
In their shoes, it might look better to seem evasive than to look like liars--which is how they're looking right now. Actually, they're look like evasive liars.
This is per local news, the ABC and CBS affiliates. Nothing in print--at least not yet.
We have about 30,000 but even then there is no way he would know an individual student to be able to make such a statement right away. I am still frosted over his statement he knew we were all safe in the stands. That was impossible for him to know IMHO!
On the news tonight!
Something for me to chew on..... all aboard....
Evasive liars works for me. He should have said this is an active investigation and details will be forthcoming instead of getting out in front with the depression story right away that night. That story has totally fallen apart. Now people won't go on the record -- there is a lot more here and explains why FBI, etc. are in the center of the investigation.
I can only hope the FBI follows that link - where is this room mate?
Something tells me that if he could, Boren would bury this deeper than China--concerned parents might consider pulling their kids out of a university that has terrorists attending classes...and the local, state and federal officials probably wish this one would go away too.
My concern is--where is the roomie? In the wind, or just down the road planning another op?
Boren might be concerned about a backlash from his customers (students and parents), unless ... the situation is the same at pratically every campus in the country.
"The one thing that makes me wonder if they're still trying to round people up is that two news channels (so far) have said his Pakistani roommate can't be found."
Whoa were is the link to this Pakistani roommate? This is the first I have heard of this.
" They also state he had no involvement whatever--which strains credibility to say the least! Roomie not involved? Then how the heck did he put together all those explosives without tipping him off??"
Yeah sure! No involvement.
Pkistani roommate, huh? No involvement. Sure.
