Various media sources had also reported Monday that law enforcement officials were alerted to search for a "darker skinned or black male" who is thought to have a foreign accent, who may have tried to enter a restricted area near the bombings location just minutes before the blasts took place, according to CNN.
That suspect was reportedly wearing a black backpack and a hooded sweatshirt

Interesting. So Reuters has been "compromised" (cyberhacked) by the Syrian Army?
Are they saying this is Syria related now? Reuters is very reputable - and if they are saying this............................................hhhmmmmm..........................

I respectfully disagree, I think LE should review security measures and continue with all planned events. While I'd always advise caution I don't believe in living life based on what could happen in the future. If one applied that analogy we would not attend baseball games, the 4th of July or music concerts, we wouldn't go to the mall. I'd suggest living in fear is not freedom.
IMO of course.

National Public Radio has been hacked. Matt is a Reuters tech editor currently on leave. And I know of no group calling itself the Syrian Electronic Army, so who knows what's happened.

It was there a couple of minutes ago. In bold letters across the page it said "Syrian Electronic Army was here".

What scares me is how vunerable we are right now. Sure, the people will stick together, and security has been really ramped up at gov't bldgs, the White House, Capitol, etc. But all eyes are on Boston.
We have a bunch of "nutjobs" out there right now that don't like us, threaten us (almost on a daily basis lately) and really want to see us taken down.
It scares me that one of them might see this as as opportunity to blindside us somewhere else. Not that any of them are working together - but that's a possibility too - and that scares me even more.

A few points:
I saw a couple male nurses on CNN who had been manning the medical tent when this occurred. I think both were war vets. Brought tears to my eyes. They were so together but you could see the anguish in their faces as they described what seemed similar to what they witnessed in Iraq.
I was also struck by the lack of much panic and how so many immediately began assisting in a logical manner. I think that's because so many were athletes. I've learned that the more physically fit a person is the less likely they are to panic.
My hearts been hurting all afternoon and evening over this. The joy of these people coming to the finish line and then this evil thing occurring. What kind of coward targets innocent civilians, and babies like the 8 year old who died'? How can there ever be any justification?
The fact that these were crude bombs makes me think it was less a sophisticated group operation and more a solo disgruntled loner operation or a disgruntled loner who has thin ties to a larger operation, a la the shoe bomber or Ted Kazinski.
Whoever it is, may they obtain the sudden, true understanding of what they did, and feel, in their hearts and minds, the full impact of their actions to every single victim, and others affected. That's the worst punishment I can think of, actually.
