Al Jazeera:
"Police arrested 2 more people, described as accomplices not suspects"

"...For now, the government is invoking the public safety exception, a designation that allows investigators to question Tsarnaev without reading him his Miranda rights, a Justice Department official told CNN on condition of anonymity.
In ordinary cases, a suspect is told by police he has the right to remain silent and he has the right to a lawyer.
But this is not an ordinary case, say U.S. Sens. John McCain and Lindsey Graham.
They urged that Tsarnaev be held as an "enemy combatant," a designation that allows a suspect to be questioned without a lawyer and without being informed of his Miranda rights.
"Now that the suspect is in custody, the last thing we should want is for him to remain silent. It is absolutely vital the suspect be questioned for intelligence gathering purposes," the senators said. "Under the law of war we can hold this suspect as a potential enemy combatant not entitled to Miranda warnings or the appointment of counsel."
- His actions should certainly be categorized as terrorism. And I do want him to talk.instrmntl
- we won't understand the scale of this until he does so they pulled the card that makes him talk nowprophetone
- i think that's fair given the circumstances this week, although many will see it as unconstitutionalprophetone
- which perhaps it is... well i'm sure we'll see plenty of arguing and opinions about it on CNN for the next whileprophetone
- yeah true/agree.instrmntl
- thats a brainwashing statement. There are no limits with those exceptions are subject to politics of the states will?yurimon

"Unfortunately mate, the world isn't layered with hidden agendas and bogey men... there's hate, religion and decades of western politics gone awfully wrong. That's it."
The sheer misplaced pomposity of that statement simply boggles the mind.
"basically, I know everything about everything"
Naivety of the highest degree.
What a cunt.
- no name calling please, I believe it's the same naivete that allow the Western troops to go around the world and butcher hundreds of thousand of people all in the name of peace and democracyGeorgesIV

Remember Sunil Tripathy, the original reddit "suspect"?
Also remember, in his last post on FB, he proclaimed innocence and said he was on his way to the police station...

No updates in over a month. Some claim he resembles Dzhokhar.Yesterday...
Saudi Boston Bombing Victim Speaks Out for First TimeAbdulrahman Ali Alharbi: "I’ve been trying to just forget it and all these stuff. ... But I couldn’t forget. I am double injured from the explosion, then from the media. So, it’s not easy to forget. Because you just going to write my name and search about [me], you are going to think that I am from al-Qaeda and, like, terrible things."
http://www.democracynow.org/2013…4chan and reddit may have had more information on the Boston attack, but QBN had more accurate information, even with the bleed-over. R.I.P. Sunil
- Oh, and this http://www.nypost.co…ZOOP
- Russia and Saudi Arabia. On 911 I saw for the one and only time reports that Russia, Germany and Israel all heard chatter the day before.ZOOP
- chatter of an imminent attack on the U.S. on the previous day...

Bunches of people here in Melbourne calling up talkback radio...asking why this is creating such a headline when the deaths of 50 in a bomb attack in Islamabad creates a scant headline.
My answer to this...the moral outrage is and should be exactly the same. A US, Australian, English or French life is no more important than a Pakistani, Iraqi or Syrian life.
The difference is we can relate to events in Boston...many of us have been there or in similar places. Our family may live there. We may have walked past the same spot. It could have just as easily been one of us.
Not too many of us 'westeners' have been to Aleppo, Baghdad or Kabul so there is a huge disconnect. Doesn't mean the events are any less tragic.
- Difference IS that this is local news. Simple as that.monospaced
- totally agree with the sentiment. got me thinking about how a backpack bomb causes a reported 140 + injuries in boston while...kingsteven
- boston while 20 cars filled with explosives causes 31 deaths/ 200 reported injuries in iraq.kingsteven
- ie. if an attack of this scale had happened in iraq it wouldn't have even made the papers.kingsteven
- Plus attacks on US soil are rare comparatively speaking. You simply become desensitised to daily bombings in Mdl Eastpig
- Difference is the U.S. isn't a warzone.ZOOP
