I think the odds are pretty high that these brothers were the perps (although there may have been others in addition to them). They have them on video dropping a backpack by the little boy that was murdered in the explosion. They found mangled pressure cookers at the scene, and at one point during the chase early this morning, one of those brothers threw a pressure cooker -- along with other explosives -- at the cops that failed to explode. There were also other explosives found were they lived, and at least one of the brothers was actually identified in a photo line-up by the guy at the finish line (the one in the gruesome photos with his legs blown off).

Lets assume that they saw the FBI presser yesterday and saw that they were being fingered but they were innocent. They panicked and decided to run. They carjacked someone and were later spotted and were chased by LEO. During the chase, there just happened to have a pressure cooker that they tossed at their chasers. What are the odds of that? What a coincidence!

Yes, I know that in this country we are assumed innocent until proven guilty, thank goodness for that. He will receive due process. And yes, I may already have an opinion as to his guilt, but since the chance that I will sit on his jury or have any sort of influence over the decision is a big fat zero, my opinion does not matter as it will have no impact.

I find it interesting that intelligence in a foreign country warned the US a couple of years ago to check out the older brother and keep an eye on him. Then for 6 months last year, he freely goes to Russia and then returned to the US. Wasn't he on a watch list? When he came into the US many years ago he (or his parents, since he was a minor at the time) claimed political asylum. Why would he feel comfortable going back for 6 months if their original reason for coming here was the need for asylum? But the bigger question in my mind is could this have been prevented.
