ahhh - did I miss where it tells if the pack was found BEFORE or AFTER the parade?

ahhh - that's a great trash can right next to the bench - were YOU the ‘bomber’, might you put the bomb in the can - it's plastic - it wouldn't impede the bomb much but would much more likely not to’ve been found.

Where's the part where they either blew it up or disarmed it? Where's the part about what kind of triggering system was involved? And what kind of explosive material...instead of all the gobbledy goop about the book store employee's thougts?

Are we going to see some ‘terrorist” activity that is planted - for ratcheting up an agenda? Like an excuse to add to the “security measures”?

sniff sniff. something doesn't smell right.

What I heard earlier this evening was maybe two sentences’ worth of a report, so easily missed.

“one for an anti-cancer event in the mid-west, the other for spring break in Florida.”

Stevens County Relay For Life? Stevens County abuts Spokane. Relay for Life is a Pro Life event. Where did you get your data?

Area mosques have been silent on the topic.

You have good senses.

Obviously there’s more than one Relay For Life and more than one Stevens County. I found several, and didn’t notice the one in Washington. I stand corrected on that aspect.

RelayForLife.org is owned by the American Cancer Society.
From a Spokane paper: “The Stevens County Relay for Life (SCRFL) is ready to kick-off another year of fund­raising for the American Can­cer Society with the annual Relay Rally.”

Could you point me to a cite for a pro-life event with the same name?

The fishing community, apparently.

Isn’t Treasure Island Spring 2009 referring to Spring Break 2009 at the Treasure Island Casino?

Women running around naked, everyone drunk, doesn’t sound like a place for a religious militant anti-abortionist to hang out.

My Opine -— Frame Failed............Msg to Lefties, the FBI will follow the evidence, there isn’t anywhere you can go to escape...they will get you

Yup. Smells like a noose on a faculty door.

I'm not so sure. The FBI grabbed a guy in a van trying to set off a large car-bomb at the Portland Christmas tree lighting celebration.

This is in the same area, and is a similar kind of operation. MLK day is the reason for the parade, but killing people at a parade fits right in with known Jihadi tactics (recall the attempted Times Square bombing on New Years eve, recall the attempted 2000 New Years bombing foiled at the Canada/Washington border, etc.)

The MLK think may have nothing to do with it, just as the New Years bombing wasn't a poltical statement about New Years.

Oh yes. Libs are the only ones who have something to gain from this dog and pony show.

[JohnBrowdie]

unless he is going to blame Sarah Palin for planting the bomb, the MSM couldn’t care less.

[dila813]

Maybe they think with this story, they can pin it on the right wing while people are paying attention then discover the truth when it doesn’t matter anymore.

Bet it was these guys:

The Hill of the Ravens, A Mighty Fortress, A Distant Thunder, and The Brigade by Harold Covington - political monographs, how-to manuals, or alternate history fictions?

I am curious as to what the trigger was designed to be. Was this a device waiting for someone pick it up to make it go boom. Or was it set to go off by some other means. I would be pretty sure it was not accidentally left behind.

In March of 2010 the FBI was involved in the investigation of an IED found outside the Federal Courthouse in downtown Spokane. I’ve never heard any follow-up as to the outcome of that investigation. I wonder if there’s any connection to this bomb ten months later.
