boston bombing

[kandrathe]

They just apprehended the younger boy from hiding all day, wounded in a boat. I'm agog at the level of military hardware deployed to capture one 19 year old boy. Or, is it after 10 years of post-911 funding and crisis practice, the boys in blue finally get to break out their shiny new urban assault toys?

My initial reaction was that due to it being tax day, it was probably some anti-tax group -- however it never squared with targeting the marathon rather than some government IRS related office. Most attacks target the object of their hatred -- even 911 (WTC, Pentagon, WH). In order to target the Marathon, you'd need to be pretty much anti-US as it represents "what is good about America" -- if the young man survives, I will be interested in the two brothers motivations. And... are there any co-conspirators.
