I find this Times Square thing a little strange. First off..who is leaking his confidential information to the media..very dangerous thing to do really. Secondly, the homeland security officer said live on TV yesterday that since being read his rights, the suspect has been absolutely silent. Which means he must have 'confessed' about this plan to bomb NY on Monday. The press conference and such about it made out as if he had just said this and that it was totally new information.

There is absolutely no way this guy will get a fair trial. I know some wont care about that as it does look very much like he is guilty. But unless the jury have been living under rocks for the past week or so, they will already have made up their minds (by media trial) that he is 100% guilty. This is before even seeing the evidence that the police reckon they have.

If you think about it, the only we know for sure so far is that the marathon was bombed and the brothers were there. There was some kind of a standoff..and the older brother is now dead. The younger one in custody. And that the affadavit of an officer states that there is a video showing the younger brother placing his backpack in the area where the bomb went off, then calmly walking away without it. Everything else has come via the media..and the media story has chopped and changed so much that I don't know how much of it we can believe.

I am not saying the police have it wrong in this case. But I cant help thinking of all the falsehoods in the De Menezes case. And how it turned out that police lied to cover their tracks after killing an innocent man. That whole story made me question what the authorities say tbh.

Yes I agree this guy is not going to see the light of day anytime soon. I have followed this case through all forms of media incl Radio,TV, Internet and Social Media I have to say I am confused the sheer amount of contradictory reports and jumbled confused timelines make me wonder of there isn't a lot more to this story than official sources report.

It's a conspiracy theorists dream and will be discussed on Internet forums for a long time to come. I hope the truth comes out someday but I wouldn't hold your breath...!!!
