Federal authorities have identified the man who recently bought the 1993 Nissan Pathfinder that was rigged to explode in Times Square as a naturalized United States citizen from Pakistan who recently returned from a trip there, and were seeking to arrest him on Monday night, according to several people briefed on the investigation.

The man, a Connecticut resident who was not publicly identified, bought the sport utility vehicle in Bridgeport, within the last three weeks, paying cash in a deal that involved no formal paperwork.

It’s an evil minded tea partier disguised as a Pakistani! That’s racist!

[GeronL]

How many Americans will now think “white guy” when they hear of this??

[FlingWingFlyer]

I guess terrorism can be ruled out now that the klowns at DHS have decided that the bald, white guy is no longer a suspect (”Person of interest” for those in Rio Linda).

[Niteflyr]

Awwww...they all wanted so badly for it to be a 40 year old white guy...I think I'm gonna cry with them...

[Travis McGee]

He must have fallen asleep during his car bomb classes.

Or was distracted by some sexy goats grazing near the madrassa.

[Psycho_Bunny]

Wait a minute....I thought it was someone upset with the Obamacare.

I’m not really sure which Freep thread to respond to here, but my response is the same as everyone else. Why the heck must the liberal media work so hard to assume this attempted bombing was done by a white tea party guy who didn’t like Obamacare? Unbelievable.

Double whammy for the left today.

The Hutaree militia members have also been released.

[jimbo123]

It was someone upset at a cartoon.

[neodad]

Why was he pissed about Obamacare?

“But investigators appeared to have begun to assign less significance to a man who appeared to be in his 40s who was seen on one video. That man was seen walking away from the area where the Pathfinder was parked and through Shubert Alley, which runs between 44th and 45th Streets. He looked over his shoulder at least twice and pulled off a shirt, revealing a red T-shirt underneath.”

Very suspicious. Especially the part about him looking “furtively” over his shoulder. He must be guilty.

In my opinion the intelligence and law enforcement agencies have decided to publicly interfere and put a quick stop the sick political game that the liberal politicians and their media were trying to play by inventing the so called “White Man” terrorist and that is why we are seeing more information in the last 12 hours indicating that the terrorist suspect in the failed terrorist attack at Times Square is someone from Pakistani origin.

[neodad]

Beat me by a minute...

[jimbo123]

Or changing his shirt on a 90-degree Saturday in NYC...

You can watch NYC Mayor Bloomberg state his opinions on CBS National News with Katie Couric here.

[Dallas59]

Has somebody called the Mayor of NYC and told him?

[Niteflyr]

Very suspicious. Especially the part about him looking “furtively” over his shoulder. He must be guilty.

If I saw a Pathfinder with smoke coming out the vents I'd be looking furtively over my shoulder too...guess that would make me a prime suspect when you add I'm a white guy.

[jimbo123]

Even Mayor Bloomberg was playing Obama’s game. The Kenyan probably told Bloomberg to play along and he’d reinstate the anti-terror funds that he cut from NYC.
