Former attorney general says Boston bombers must have had help in attack
Fox News ^ | April 28, 2013

A former U.S. attorney general says the two men police say are behind the deadly Boston Marathon bombings likely had help in the attack.

“I don’t believe they couldn’t have done what they did without technical assistance building the bomb and without…spiritual encouragement,” Michael Mukasey, the former U.S. attorney general under George W. Bush, told Fox News.

Mukasey added that he thinks the belief that the bombers only followed a rulebook from the Internet “doesn’t do it” for him.

Mukasey joins a growing number of officials who say Boston Marathon bombing suspects Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, 19, and his older brother, Tamerlan, who was killed in a shootout with police, likely had assistance in the bombing that killed three people and injured more than 200.

He also said Dzhokhar Tsarnaev could possibly still be questioned for national intelligence purposes for information that could be kept separate from the criminal case.

Mukasey said if those interviews occurred, Tsarnaev wouldn’t have any right to have a lawyer present during the questioning.....

Help before, help during, and help after
even while being questioned.

Tsarnaev wouldn’t have any right to have a lawyer present during the questioning. If Tsarneav filed a habeas corpus petition against such interviews, the challenge could reach the Supreme Court, Mukasey explained, but he thinks the ability to question Tsarnaev separately for intelligence purposes would be upheld.

That'll fly for about 3 seconds before another judge comes waltzing in. If it lasts longer than 3 seconds, the evidence will be held up in the Supreme Court long after White cap has been strapped to a gurney.

A good deal of the direct aid and assistance was coming from the Department of “Just-Us”, plus whatever the Commonwealth of Massachuetts could contribute.

Add in more than a few of the neighbors and associates of the Brothers Tsarnaev.

Look when your hearing radio commercials eminating from the regime having Smokey The Bear claiming “9 out of 10 forest fires are started by people”, or that lead paint is still a great menace. You know you have a government incapable of telling the truth about anything.

Earliest FR postings containing pics of those bomb circut boards proved to me the regime was lying that these guys were poor misguided hopeless homegrowns.

Yeah, they had help.

From this smiling joker Abdul Alharbi, the Saudi Ambassador, Obama and Kerry.

With the cooperation of the MSM, the truth will never see the light of day. It’s ironic that in the day of the cyber superhighway, getting the news is as hard as it was 100 years ago, not for lack of technology, but sheer lack of will.

Police Say The Naked Man Arrested In Boston Was Not Tamerlan Tsarnaev
On Thursday night while police were hunting in Watertown, Mass. for bombing suspects Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, at one point they arrested a naked man who looks a lot like Tamerlan.

Police say the naked man is not Tamerlan, despite various conspiracy theories going around the Internet.

According to the official account, Tamerlan died after a shootout with cops, riddled with bullets and shrapnel before being run over by his brother who was fleeing the scene in an SUV.

Take a look: I dare you!

FBI

The Watertown police department got back to us via email just to say that the naked man was not Tamerlan Tsarnaev (pictured on right and in high-res here).

The shootout with the Tsarnaev brothers occurred on Laurel Street. The journalist interviewed in this video describes naked man’s capture near Nichols and Dexter, literally down the street from the shootout.

Naked man was apparently stripped, questioned, clothed, questioned some more, and reportedly let go. It’s likely police stripped him because they were under citywide bomb threat and wanted to make sure he didn’t have a suicide vest, but the police did not comment on that.

Needless to say, Business Insider is interested to hear Naked Man’s personal story — send any tips to tips@businessinsider.com.

The bombers were a couple of PATHETIC WIMPS. There is NO WAY that they could have known how to put together their bombs and have them go off at the same time.

OBVIOUSLY they had serious help - you just don’t go to the Caucuses to mountain climb for 6 months.

Help? It seems they had help from our own intelligence agencies. Intentional assistance or willful neglect, the result is the same.
Our intelligence agencies have been infected with Leftist PC and infiltrated by the Muslim Brotherhood and like-minded cretins.
