    Your complaint seems a bit disingenuous is what I'm trying to say.

    But there is no point in bringing up McVeigh. I don't care what your political ideology is. It's way too early to make any comparisons. It's just too easy. And tired.

    I'm guessing they're get the guy by tying him to the vehicle, but I thought this was interesting:

    It would be something if he was caught because he's in the background of some random tourist's video.

    I don't think you understand my complaint is what I'm trying to say. I don't want a potential bombing to be "got ya" political fooder for anyone. But you and I both know it will be. It's one thing to fuck with people on general political matters; we're all guilty of that at times. But terrorism, in whatever form, is one of those issues that should create more consensus than it does. That it doesn't is a shame. Whether a white guy in his 40s or a Muslim with terrorist ties, there's no "winners" here.

    Whoever did this was a homicidal lunatic. Fortunately, an incompetent one. His thought processes related to his lunacy shouldn't concern any of us. Whatever he is, I'm against it.

    May 1? One of the most visible commercial districts in the world? I still wouldn't rule out some sort of anti-corporate loon.

    "A naturalized U.S. citizen who just returned from several months in Pakistan."

    -- FOX describing the person seen in the video.

    Times headline:

    BREAKING NEWS10:00 PM ETU.S. Seeks Man From Pakistan Who Bought Vehicle in Bomb Case

    I guess it took the Times two and a half hours to confirm what FOXNews had already reported.

    I'm glad they didn't rush to judgement.
