Yes indeed. I kept thinking that Timothy Allen could be a double for Fred Flinstone.

On a lighter note, this cracks me up:
Noting that some Americans seemed to be confused about where, exactly, the suspects in the Boston Marathon bombings were from, Petr Gandalovič, the Czech Republic’s ambassador in Washington issued a statement on Friday explaining that Czechs and Chechens are entirely different people.
“As more information on the origin of the alleged perpetrators is coming to light, I am concerned to note in the social media a most unfortunate misunderstanding in this respect,” the ambassador wrote. “The Czech Republic and Chechnya are two very different entities – the Czech Republic is a Central European country; Chechnya is a part of the Russian Federation.”
The ambassador’s intervention came just hours after the satirical publication The Onion spoofed the confusion with a fake news story based on a similar premise.
Adding a layer of confusion for Americans, the first attempts to categorize the suspects by their skin color were confounded by the information that they were, literally, Caucasian.

Sorry, losers smoke pot and skip school. Jihadists produce muslim al Qaeda instructed "pressure cooker" bombs and kill innocent people. Remember the pressure cooker bombing that was thwarted in Times Square in 2010? A Short Recent History of Pressure-Cooker Bombs | TIME.com
Training by al Qaeda talked about here: Pressure-cooker bomb instructions in al-Qaeda magazine
Additionally, the older brother, Tamarlan, may have trained in Chechnya at a terrorist training camp for 6 months.

How is it "random violence"? These 2 brothers werent stupid at all. They knew full well what they were doing and planned an attack based on their extreme religious beliefs.
To say otherwise is disingenuous.
Actually, he's an American citizen that is under the restrictions of terrorism, but he wont ever see Guantanamo. So he does not need to be read his rights for a certain amount of time. It really doesn't matter right now because he is not under arrest since he is in serious condition and under the care of doctors. If he decides to freely talk to investigators when he is able, he can do so and his words can be used against him in court. When he is discharged by doctors, I'm sure he will arrested at that time and read his rights.
My guess is that he will not talk and then be arrested upon his discharge.

"They were too advanced. Someone gave the brothers the skills and it is now our job to find out just who they were. Agents think the sleeper cell has up to a dozen members and has been waiting several years for their day to come.”
