Glenn Beck has spent lots of time in recent days alleging that the Boston Marathon bombing was carried out by a conspiracy that revolved around a shadowy Saudi national questioned by police in a Boston hospital in the immediate aftermath of the tragedy.
OK, is he just winging it here, or does the ex-Fox, now-independent radio and Internet video host have any real evidence for this charge?
He says he does, unsurprisingly. On his show Wednesday morning Mr. Beck produced a document that he claimed is an official US “event report” showing that the Saudi in question is a bad, bad man who was on a no-fly list and already subject to visa revocation.
What he didn’t mention is that Fox News reporter Bret Baier has already looked into this whole alleged Saudi conspiracy, including the document Beck deemed so revealing, and concluded that there was no there there, to paraphrase writer Gertrude Stein’s jibe about Oakland.
It’s “false and misleading” to use the internal document on the Saudi’s immigration status as evidence of the man’s involvement in the bombings, according to US officials quoted by Mr. Baier in a Fox video blog on April 23.
“The FBI says the Saudi [in question] was just a victim of the terrorist attack,” said Baier...
But Bret Baier had this piece of paper already. On Tuesday, he talked with US officials about it, and got a different story.
First off, Baier said the wording of the paper was indeed somewhat dire.
“Anyone looking at this would say this is a bad guy, this means they had a lot of stuff on this guy,” he said.
But officials told him it was simply an automatic piece of customs paperwork triggered when police went to question the Saudi in the hours after the bombing...

It’s just a pure coincidence that the Saudi terrorist-list guy just HAPPENED to be in the blast radius of the Boston bomb. Bad luck. Happens all the time.
And it was just a pure coincidence that the Saudi ambassador did an uber-rare unscheduled emergency “walk by” at the White House to see Obama.
Pure coincidence.
So, where is Al-Harbi?
Which isn’t difficult to do, reporters are lazy today and not interested in uncovering details and truth.
I can imagine why, they are under constant threat from this sicko admin that anyone who goes against the king will be squashed.
What a sick and sad system we are fighting.
Until people get good and mad and demand answers, this dumb game of framing others as loons, will carry on.
How come no one has heard from them?
Begs the question: How many other “false and misleading’ government documents are out there?
The pics showed at least one bandaged hand and nothing else.
I have no idea what his injuries were. He was, by all accounts, in the vicinity of the bombs, so it could've been anything - shrapnel wounds, TBI, etc. With HIPAA, his medical records are not publicly available. The "bandage" on his hand appears to be an IV site.
I'll ask again - what would him having burned hands even prove?
Except there was already an outstanding "event" file.
All of them. lol
So, is this evidence new, or is it what has been around for awhile, that was my question.
As it stands now I have not read anything from Beck, the last few days, that I had not already read previously.
We've been fed some lame partial explanations, but nothing complete that makes any sense.
The Won prays to nobody but himself.
That is hysterical really!
This admin is banking of the stupid lazy people stay that way. This story is not exactly the easiest to follow, there are alot of layers and info to digest. Having said that, the way I understood it, the 212 3 B has nothing at all to do with the no fly list, two different animals.
They already had a file on this kid and a prior event/incident. That file is the one that was amended, which apparently is NOT an easy thing to accomplish.
Last I heard the Saudi owned 7% of fox
Bravo FRiend! I am sure you are right. I I have been reading this site a lot over the last 9 days but have not seen anyone come up with that yet and do believe that you are correct.
For some reason it doesn’t come out and just smack me in the face but once I read it, I knew you were right. That boy is too pretty to get his hands dirty....but they did get burned.
You do understand that when a person has a 212 3B that the Secret Service cannot allow her to visit him. So, who cleared it for her to do that?
Despite the suspicious White House visits and the deport/ don’t deport reports and the fact this guy was at the marathon there has been ZERO actual evidence presented that tie him to the bombings.
Almost everything we have heard is easily explained by Occam:
He is Saudi royalty. Obama licks those boots. The Saudis wanted hm out of the spotlight. Obama tried to comply and failed.
Look for yourself and answer your own question.
According to the linked report, at least, the process to clear the 212 3B (and the no-fly list designation) started once the feds spoke to the guy and he was no longer considered a person of interest in the bombing.
