RE: Bombs Go Off at Finish Line of Boston Marathon
I know it doesn't look good for the natural causes prevailing, but still I hope.

ETA: Misplaced hope it seems Undecided

That's the problem....I have little expectation of humanity from humanity.

Some news agencies are reporting that a 20-year old Saudi national is a suspect. He is being treated at a Boston-area hospital and is in guarded condition.

ETA: The New York Post is reporting the above.

Uh-oh. Last time a bunch of Saudis attacked us we invaded Iraq. I sure hope Obama knows geography better than Bush.

It was definitely bombs, festive. Three of them went off. One was a controlled detonation. They are looking at several more now. Much of the city has been evacuated. The BPD Police Scanner is available online. I can't be arsed to link it.

The President of Turkmenistan is probably sweating profusely right about now.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

The JFK Library was apparently just an unrelated fire from a mechanicals room, not an explosion. I heard this on an on-line comment from a purported employee of the library.

I don't buy this. It's too early to have a suspect, and whoever did it is unlikely to have stayed close enough to be injured after planting the bombs..

This doesn't feel like it has Islamists behind it. I heard it's "tax day" (whatever that is?) in Boston today, so it's probably a domestic issue.

Yeah, I take it with a grain of salt too.

The only way I can see them having a suspect is if he was injured during the blast (or from something unrelated) and he said something to medical personnel.
