Mark Davis, a local and national talk show host at WBAP in Fort Worth, Texas, interviewed Jihad Joey's father this morning.

I was working so I didn't hear but bits and pieces of the interview.

What I did hear was a small blurb where he was praising his son and denying any involvement with Muslim terrorists.

He did mention that he sought out and seeked praise all through his life. Looking for kind comments from his teachers, etc, about what a good kid he was, what a great job he was doing.

It sounded to me that this kid was seeking for praise for anything he did, looking for a place to belong, and a great canidate for being used.

It appears to me that the Jihadists found a person that they could and did use.

When he was denied admission three times to the stadium with his back path of death he may well have sat on that bench and did himself in rather than fail on his mission and not receive the praise he so craved.

I can think of no other reason rather than an accident, a timer that he couldn't control, or a preset time for a cell phone to detonate the bomb.

The fact that he had additional explosives in his apartment would make me think that he planned on living on to do this again.

I don't know if you get Mark Davis' national show or not but you can get him at www.wbap.com, on streaming audio, his show comes on at 9 AM central.

If any other FReepers heard all of the interview, please chime in.

I heard most of the Mark Davis interview with the father. I remember the father also trying to make sure we understood that his son didn't really know the Paki roomate..It was just a rooming for financial convenience. There was more..but can't recall now.
