Thank goodness the WSJ is here to tell us no one saw what they saw, heard what they heard, or experienced what they experienced....
Lies, lies, and more lies. This time from the WSJ. The university in the city I am located in announced new security precautions this morning for the football game on Saturday.
I am sure they are worried about "depressed students" too. /sarc
Thanks MizSterious for the ping.
For years Al Hunt hired reporters for the Wall Street Journal. It appears to be infected with his hirelings. These liberals live in a different world than the rest of us.
A discerning reader, seeing all the facts laid out in one place like this, is far more likely to raise his eyebrows than to move on. Rather than agreeing with the putative premise of the article (that skeptics and questioners are alarmists), a reader might very well begin to wonder about the abundance of suspicious "coincidences" that OU and law enforcement so quickly dismiss. Curiosity piqued, the reader then spots the conveniently-included links to the blogs and clicks on them...
If I were a mainstream media journalist who smelled a story and wanted to find a way to get it out to a much wider audience (without drawing fire from the PC police) this is the way I'd do it.
...which is not to say that that's what the WSJ did. Either way, the public is served, imho.
I wish we could read the police reports, especially the ones regarding the search of Hinrichs' apartment. I think it's suspicious that the search warrant information has been sealed. Hinrichs is already dead, so releasing the information wouldn't jeopardize a criminal charge against him.
It's also suspicious that we haven't seen any photos of the scene of the explosion before it was cleaned up. Photos of that scene might allow us to estimate the power of the explosion. A powerful explosion would indicate that the bomb was designed to kill several people.
A depressed college student who simply wanted to kill himself wouldn't strap on a large home-made explosive charge and walk towards a packed football stadium. It's naive to think this was just a suicide. It is very reasonable to believe Hinrichs was trying to get into the stadium.
Perhaps it's just a coincidence that Hinrichs had a Pakistani roommate. But how do you explain Hinrichs' inquiry about the purchase of ammonium nitrate? And what are the chances that the roommate didn't see, or at least smell, the explosive ingredients.
I wish the FBI would simply say this is an on-going investigation, and they don't want to release any info yet.
The WSJ article and the statements by the O.U. president are an insult to anybody with common sense.
Thank you for the ping Miz. I replied to this editorial quickly on another thread.
The one thing that jumped out at me in this editorial is the mention of the "rebuffing" of Hinrichs at the security gates. I don't believe that's been proven FALSE by anyone. At least I haven't seen it anywhere...
I also keep in mind that the MSM is probably interested in discredited bloggers at this point due to the whole "Rathergate" fiasco...
