My source is pretty good that was told it was a directional device that the blast would have sent it forward -- may be why they have found pieces of metal the size of nailheads in the trees around the bench.

If the guy was going to just commit suicide why did he go to the stadium? Couldn't you just as easily off yourself in some parking lot, city park etc.? Other than Islamofacist hommicide bombers, who commits suicide by blowing themselves up? IMHO this guy was intent on taking out hundreds in the stadium and his close association with Muslims just adds to my suspicions.
To: kenth
LOL on your definition of "practicing Muslims." Just as a matter of random distribution, I am certain there are a few million honest and intelligent Muslims in the world. But it is the other kind who are getting most of the ink and all of the leadership positions.
The problem with those kinds of Muslims are: they put their women in bags, their bombs in the trunks, and their brains in the toilet. Other than that, they are fine people that I'd like to have living next door and marrying my sister. LOL.

It's obvious Hinrichs depression was a motivating factor as he ultimately didn't detonate in a crowded area. A more likely senerio is that he wasn't able to get the backpack in, so he was removing the explosives and hiding them on his person for another try when one of the wires touched and caused a work accident.

the FBI is covering up this story, NOT investigating all leads..... The FBI has a track record of doing this very thing (OKC Bombing, TWA Flight 800), and unless some facts start coming out pretty soon, I'm going to believe this is what is going on.Precisely.

They don't print it is double sourced but the OU Daily and Oklahoman won't print what is not double sourced (SOP). Gaylord was very clear in his instructions to the Oklahoman and his baby the OU Journalism College with OU Daily. He wanted ethical journalist from the College and wanted it to lean right. In the News Gathering Class, the students lose points if their article is not double sourced and the paper is run the same way. They follow the lead of their partner The Oklahoman.

Why of course. We can't very well hurt their feelings. They might pack up their tuition$$$$ and go home. This whole incident stinks to high heaven. If it was not for blogs like Free Republic no one would know anything about this story but the spin version given by Boren and MSM.

"what depressed person contemplating suicide uses a bomb in a normally crowded environment'
exactly, if he didn't have homicidal intentions what was he doing with a bomb in an area traversed by many thousands of people that very evening??? A true suicide (who would be extremely unlikely to go to all the trouble to make a highly portable bomb) would not head for one of the busiest areas on campus to blow up a bomb. Some people are trying to make the fact that no one else was killed the main item of significance, BUT.... (1) the bomb may have detonated accidentally while he was waiting for halftime to release a lot of people from thes stadium; (2) he may have gone to the stadium with intentions of mass homicide but become discouraged at the last moment from failed attempts to access the stadium, etc.; (3) if he had a 'handler' who was detonating the bomb remotely, they may have become convinced that he was unreliable and was not going to carry out the plot, so they blew him up to prevent him from talking.
I sure don't know what the facts are, but I doubt that David BORON and others do, either. IT is absurd how easily some 'officials' seem to jump to one preferred explanation to avoid the implications of terrorism, Islamo-fascists in their community, etc. etc.

It is getting harder and harder for Boron to pretend that this was just a sad student who killed himself and meant no harm to the 80,000+ in the stadium

You're right, Grampa Dave. Just heard from various FRepers that Fox is carrying an interview with the Washington Times reporter.
PKM/HR/LR: this is the news we were expecting since last Saturday. Kudos.

Yeah...keep doubting us, Gone GF. We're used to it by now.
We have been mocked on this story since last Saturday night. On last Saturday, PKM, HR and I were called idiots and worse for even doubting the spin from the MSM and Boron.
Today, Fox News, Tony Snow, and Washington Post carried the story. Enough said....
Oh...it'll help if you read the threads before you comment on them. Some of your info here is totally wrong.

"Cheema was an atheist who was angry with God because he had lost much of his hearing,"
And just WHY did he lose his hearing? Too close to bomb practice without ear plugs?
And because Muslims say Hinrichs didn't go to the mosque is reason to believe them?
What total crap.

WND (I know, I know) is now reporting that Hinrichs attended the same Mosque that Moussaoui attended that was located near Hinrichs apartment. And that Jihadi material has been found in Hinrichs apartment.
Is it true that the Pakistani roomate is missing?
