OH CRAP! I knew something was up with the reports I GOT.

Yup!

Are there any other sources of info besides that weblink, Speedtek?  All the chatter I saw seemed to be referencing the same article.

Here is Glenn Beck's 4/22/2013 video mentioning that the 2 bombers were not lone wolves. It then goes into a more detailed explanation and timeline of events about the suspicious government coverup surrounding the Saudi national.

No word from Beck though (yet?) about the guy being Osama bin Laden's son.

I'm wondering about the sudden flood of blogs tying Glenn Beck to the blogs saying that the Saudi national is Osama's son ... could it be a misinformation campaign to flood and hide truth with fiction and discredit Beck later?

Crank bait: when disinformation is spread to help cover up specific details of a crime by enticing investigators to jump to easily-disprovable false conclusions and ruin their reputation in the process, therefore adding credibility to the official story.

Those 17 questions the media is afraid to ask can be summed up as 1 question:

#1) When will the people wake up and realize the the media simply sucks at "reporting?"

Seriously. 90% of the conspiracy fodder comes from the simple fact that the various news outlets are (far) more interested in ratings than facts. They get a whiff of anything related to a controversy or tragedy and they'll amplify it to the level of "news" in the rush to be the first to report something of substance in what is essentially a 24 hour stream of drivel.

Basing conspiracy theories on conflicting news reports is stupid. Basing it on inconsistent video footage is also an iffy proposition. Unless you are certain the news outlet is showing ACTUAL footage of the scene there is no telling where that bit came from. And the editors don't care as long as it gets the drama of the story across. Nor do they have time to fact check. Trying to build a complete picture of a conspiracy based on the BS we're fed by the TV is nearly pointless. Nearly.

I pine for the days that the news came on at 5 and 11 and that was it. Plenty of time to fact check.

I'm not saying the conspiracy theories are wrong or irrelevant. Far from it. There are just TONS of other explanations for why the news is inconsistent.

For example: the idea that we aren't being told that these kinds of pressure cooker bombs are favored by Afghan insurgents.

Folks, IED's are not rocket science. I knew the theory behind improvised explosives before I hit my teens - and this was well before the days of the internet. Put an explosive substance inside a stout, sealed chamber and it will explode when ignited. Anything in, around or part of the chamber will become shrapnel. Various otherwise harmless substances can amplify the explosion. Pressure cooker IED's are not unique to Afghan terrorists. At all. We "aren't being told about that" because it is irrelevant.

Security is simply an illusion. IED's can be made out of a variety of things. Most locks can easily be picked. A little knowledge and a simple tool or 2 and getting into just about any car is fairly easy. And that's without breaking any glass. We feel secure not because people CAN'T do these things but because the vast majority of them don't.

Falling into the same category of statements as those above, however, are these: We have constitutional "rights" up until the moment officials decide that we don't because our greater safety demands it. (Think Japanese Americans and WWII - this isn't new) What is in the best interest of local and federal law enforcement agencies is not necessarily in the best interest of the people involved. People often mistake requests made by authorities as "orders" that must be followed - and the authorities know this.

So... back to the conspiracy theories with enough tinfoil to go around. Just stop referring to new reports as proof. Information, yes. Proof? Hardly.
