So, all the media chatter about tracing cellphone traffic to this guy is bogus? Why am I not surprised? RC would be the way to go.

If John King is afraid to say more than "dark skinned," out of fear that divulging more information might be "inflammatory," then I think one could fairly deduce that the additional descriptive information is "middle-eastern looking."

If the suspect were just an American with a dark tan, or an African American, I think there would be little reason to fear that reporting this would be "inflammatory."

In his auto(?)biography Obama wrote about a skin-bleaching treatment - he claimed that he was traumatized as a child when he read about it.

I can see them popping open a can of that to whitewash whomever the perp turns out to be, just as George Zimmerman was transformed into a "white Hispanic."

It’s awful how divided this country has become. Half the country is sweating bullets and hoping the suspect will be a certain color.

I agree, it's awful. Half hoping the psychotic terrorist is white (right-wing extremist optional but preferred). Half hoping the psychotic terrorist is anything but white (and, if white, prefer a radical left-wing zealot).

I just pray the psychotic terrorist is caught, dead or alive, very very soon before he kills again.

very probable.

This is so hysterical...now the breaking news is the news about the news that wasn’t news, or might not be news.

No arrest made. FBI announcement at 5:00 per Fox News.

[BunnySlippers]

I’m with ya.

Simple delay timer is the way to go. Push button, wait, move away.

[rockabyebaby]

They are still saying there will be a presser @5pm here and I’ve got the TV on and more and more people are showing up at the courthouse and local stations have no idea if there is or is not an arrest but Mayor is still saying there is an arrest. Local talkradio had David Hunt on about an hour ago and he said Feds told him there was an arrest. Apparently Justice dept is now saying no arrest. What a bleepin’ fiasco.

[KC_Lion]

Maybe they don't want to catch the suspect because he has ties to the Muslim Brotherhood, or somehow is involved in the Syrian Conflict........

Which of course links back to the Administration.......

......Just Saying.....

[penelopesire]

My guess is the WH wants the official arrest to come closer to his landing in Boston tomorrow. All politics all the time. Hope the media will finally get pissed at being used as pawns by this WH and start raising hell.

[caww]

Looks to me like they want the media out of the way.....maybe creating some diversions to occupy them.....at any rate ...I am convinced they have the guy....

[NOVACPA]

Agree with that, and confirmed by a friend who works in ICE.

He says everytime we stop one of these attacks, we leak out what the perps planned to do, which allows them to hone their tradecraft...

[penelopesire]

ROTFLOL!!

“Hundreds of people are now milling around the court.”

Throw him to the waiting mob.

[cherry]

in reference to Katrina, even that story about the nursing home flooding was just the media whoring like usual...

[Straight Vermonter]

Push button, wait, move away.

I might reverse the order of the last 2 steps. Ha-ha
