    I have liked Glenn Beck , but he is way too eager to pin this on a middle east terroriest . If it is al quida , then so be it , but let the F.B.I. do there work .

    To me the government is sometimes too quick to use the word "terrorist"...like when the fundamentalists blame everything on the devil. Sometimes it's just a sorry-ass that chooses to act as violent/murderous as they can.

    I don't call that a terrorist but maybe I'm wrong.

    "Terrorist" fits in this case.

    Depends on the motive.

    yeh, isn't the definition of terrorism an act of violence carried out for political aims? (or something like that) till a group claims responsibility and says why it happened, its not terrorism

    no..thats how it works...they identify and find "possible suspects" and then investigate them further

    They should use the term 'suspected suspects'.

    they were probably just "persons of interest" until some news reporter changed it "suspects" to get more reaction and a snappier headline

    I saw a police officer on the news who was denying that the first 'suspect' on the day of the blast was being guarded by police at the hospital. The cop may have been misinformed or a journalist may have mis-reported it. A hospital official could have said something like 'the patient is in guarded condition' and a journalist assumed that it meant guarded by the police. Who knows.

    There are issues with going public with detailed photos of people and detailed information, such as names. Investigators tend to investigate without tipping off the person they are investigating and tend to not release details of the case if not necessary. The person may flee, stop his current criminal activity, destroy evidence, increase his destructive behavior, or commit suicide once he knows people are on to him.

    Another issue is that it potentially puts innocent people at risk. The person whose face is made public can become the target of people in the general public who automatically assume he is guilty and may do harm to him.

    As an example, a person who is innocent and a friend of a criminal may have been duped into leaving a backpack somewhere, not knowing his friend was engaging in criminal activity. He is useful to investigators but not guilty of the crime.

    The case of the unibomber is a good one to review. Investigators kept various things private during the investigation. They didn't want to release evidence to the general public that could taint the evidence and that might prevent it from being used in court. Eventually they released some of the writings to the general public because of lack of progress in the case. As I remember it, the brother of the unibomber recognized spelling errors and grammar style and knew that the writings were those of his brother, which eventually led to the capture.

    On the uni bomber I dont think they would have cought him with out his brother's help , he was living off the grid . On the F.B.I. video , the guy is wearing a jacked and hat so its hard to see much .p.s. the pics they posted of the uni bomber did not look like him .
