I wish the news would stop using the term “Lone Wolf”, it makes these despicable people sound like badasses. How about “Lone Dick” instead?
 
To arrest someone so soon after IDing them from the video sounds like its somebody they are already in contact with or talked to before?

Hope it isn't that Saudi kid they held a while back. He had extensive burns though. Not sure if they'd bring him to court straight away. But I agree, it's odd how fast they've made the arrest

Unlike some people in this thread, I'm incredibly grateful to all the resources the FBI had in obtaining the information needed.

After all the hollow press conferences, this feels like a huge weight has been lifted.

The FBI used resources we didn't have access to, video from store surveillance cameras. That allows them to actually use the other information that we have access to. Without the cross-referencing capability, it's just everyone looking at pictures.

CNN has direct confirmation from the Mayor. I believe them. There is no way John King would put his career on the line saying "dark skinned man' unless he was DAMN sure.

Anybody else starting to think the letters might be a crazy coincidence? It would be 1 in a trillion, but I dunno.

One in a trillion. Pfft. People truly have no understanding of probability. Innumeracy aside, remember that the Anthrax attacks had nothing at all to do with the 911 hijackings.

You guys were acting a bit looney a very short time ago.

Seems to be the case at the moment.

Friend of mine works in Massachusetts government in downtown Boston:

News is that they have a suspect in custody for the bombing. Apparently they're bringing him to court. Tons of FBI SUVs and humvees flying by my office window...
