You know, it kinda bugged me so before I went to bed I double checked the definition of arrest and I would say it fits in this case... I stand by my previous statement that they were indeed arrested and brought in for questioning (not by choice as you implied in your post).

I agree, they were arrested, they just weren't charged with a crime.

Funny how the FBI and Boren had been telling us for about two weeks there was no suicide note and now there is one.

If it were left on the computer screen the FBI had to have know the first night and lied about it. If the FBI had just un plugged the computer and taken it with them then the message would have been lost unless saved to the hard drive.

Instead of stopping speculation and mistrust they authorities have done nothing but re enforce it.

When you wake up, check this out. Here is an article to add to your archives. It is from the Oklahoma Gazette who always goes overboard to be politically correct. As you can tell from their tongue-in-cheek comments in their "Chicken-Fried News", they are not buying the FBI/Boren line:
