First the front-page guilt trip:
"In the weeks since the attack, which killed three and injured more than 260, many of the wounded have shared their stories with the public. But in private, some uncounted number of runners and spectators are suffering from feelings of intense guilt because when violence struck, they didn’t dash in to help. Instead, they made sure their own loved ones were safe amid the harrowing chaos — or fled the danger to make sure they would survive to care for their families. Now, they are talking to therapists, friends, or sometimes only themselves, questioning their split-second decisions. It may be a variation on survivor’s guilt or, as psychologists have said, an attempt to feel some control over a situation in which they were powerless. In any case, the emotions are powerful."
They sure are when UMass-Dartmouth is in the business of training terrorists and giving cover to terrorist cells:
"UMass Dartmouth tries to put the focus on school life again" by Marcella Bombardieri and Jeremy C. Fox | Globe Staff and Globe Correspondent, May 09, 2013
DARTMOUTH — Weeks of fear and the lingering worry that their diploma will one day conjure up a terrorist attack in the minds of prospective employers....
Fox TV’s Bill O’Reilly castigated the college. The fake-news outlet The Onion posted a parody on an imaginary “semester-long course in Applied Domestic Terrorism.” Reporters swarmed the campus.
Cassandra Charles, a sophomore from Medford, was dancing to TLC’s “No Scrubs” at the Moonlight Breakfast, but she had a nagging fear that her school will always be associated with Tsarnaev and his friends.
“I feel like we were very unknown, especially compared to UMass Amherst, which we always get compared to,” she said. “Now we’re the infamous UMass Dartmouth.” In reality, Charles said, “we are like every other college campus.”
Yup, right up there with the school book depository.
The young men in the news were hardly shining lights on campus. Although Tsarnaev was widely described as sociable and well liked, he had poor grades and owed more than $20,000 in tuition bills, sources have told the Globe. His penchant for smoking marijuana was much discussed by classmates.
Some terrorist. Isn't getting stoned against Islam?
His friends Dias Kadyrbayev and Azamat Tazhayakov, students from Kazakhstan, endangered their student visas because of poor grades, according to their lawyers. Kadyrbayev was expelled for his grades, according to a school official.
University officials said that the school properly handled the visa issues and that sometimes a student with an outstanding bill can remain enrolled if financial aid is expected to come through.
Still....
The spotlight on UMass Dartmouth may have exacerbated tensions between some professors and the administration. English professor Richard J. Larschan was accused by campus officials of inappropriately sharing Tsarnaev’s transcript with others, said another professor, Bal Ram Singh, who spoke to Larschan.
Larschan denied doing anything inappropriate, but announced his retirement, said Singh, who said he believed the university targeted the professor without due process.
“It’s very, very damning to an academic intellectual environment when faculty, who are really the backbone of an institution, can be done away with like that,” Singh said.
A university spokesman said he could not comment on a personnel matter, and Larschan did not respond to repeated messages seeking comment.
One of the Dartmouth campus’s best known professors, casino authority Clyde W. Barrow, said the administration in general is secretive and disorganized and marginalizes the faculty.
“Nothing works on this campus, from toilet paper dispensers to accounts payable to the dorms,” he said.
Translation: UMass-Dartmouth is a s*** hole, and not what the brochure says, I'm sure.
But Grant V. O’Rielly, president of the Faculty Senate, said UMass Dartmouth chancellor Divina Grossman, who became chancellor less than a year ago, has been much more open than her predecessor and is working to spruce up the campus.
UMass Dartmouth’s retro concrete architecture has been unpopular with students, and many buildings desperately need rehabilitation. But several professors raved about the newly renovated library, which Globe architecture critic Robert Campbell called “one terrific piece of architecture,” letting floods of light into formerly dark and cramped spaces.
Really going far afield, aren't we? Who gives a shit about UMass-Dartmouths crappy campus?
Students and faculty talk about the campus’s unique offerings, including its marine science program and an arts campus that has helped revitalize downtown New Bedford. In 2010, UMass absorbed a struggling private law school, which became the state’s first public law school.
While many students are immigrants or the children of immigrants, only 368 of the 9,200 undergraduate and graduate students on campus are international, said a school spokesman.
At a shitty school that just happens to train terrorists.
Professors said their best students are as promising as any in the country. O’Rielly, a physics professor, also described UMass Dartmouth as a place where undergraduates have more access to research opportunities than they would at most universities. He has received a National Science Foundation grant that allows a handful of undergraduates to do nuclear physics research in Sweden each summer.
WHAAAAAAAAAAT?
Potential terrorists doing NUCLEAR WORK?
Many students work part time or even full time to put themselves through school, Grossman said. “I worry that the mistakes of [a few] students would tar with the same brush” thousands of others.
Oh, I'm sure they are great kids; however, seeing as the Muslims always get a wide swath from the big brush known as the AmeriKan jewsmedia, I don't want to here it. Bunch of terrorists at that school, case closed. Wasn't me who scheduled a staged drill to go live and run with a government script. If you aren't standing up to it, you are part of it.
Some students express the same worry, but they also embrace a new slogan, “Corsair Strong,” a reference to their school mascot, the corsair, a type of pirate....
Which would get us back to Ken Feinberg, wouldn't it?

The there is all the hugga-mugga down on the Hill:
"Hearing on bombings expected to focus on US intelligence" by Matt Viser and John Ellement | Globe Staff, May 09, 2013
WASHINGTON — Boston Police Commissioner Edward F. Davis said he was satisfied so far with the flow of intelligence tips and terrorist watchlist information about Tamerlan Tsarnaev before the Boston Marathon bombings, a topic that is likely to be a focus of a congressional hearing Thursday.
These guys are incredible.
“There’s a lot of information that still has to come out on this and I’m watching it closely,” Davis said in an interview just before he boarded a plane to Washington. “But right now I don’t have any problem.”
He added, “From the looks of it now, there’s no indication of a huge systematic issue.”
(Blog editor simply shakes head and wonders why bother anymore?)
Davis will be testifying at the first congressional hearing dedicated to examining the double bombing April 15 at the Boston Marathon finish line. Members of the House Committee on Homeland Security are expected to focus on a range of topics related to the Boston bombings, including whether the FBI, Homeland Security, the CIA, and counterterrorism agencies properly handled Russian warnings about the growing radicalization of Tsarnaev and his travel to Russia in 2012.
Yup, now the s***-show political fooleys will take place, backing up the nonsense narrative at all points, with more $urveillance the end pre$cription. Who$e got a contact, I mean, contract?
Police say Tamerlan Tsarnaev and his brother, Dzhokhar, placed two bombs at the Marathon finish line, killing three people and injuring more than 260.
Based on interviews with a half-dozen members of the committee Wednesday, representatives plan to question whether better sharing of information among federal and local agencies could have prevented the attacks.
Or calling off the false flag and drills gone live might have done it.
Some have expressed concerns that the Department of Homeland Security — created in response to the attacks on Sept. 11, 2001 — is not functioning properly.
Then let's abolish that tyrannical pos created on a mountain of WTC rubble lies.
“Here we are — we had another terrorist attack,” said Representative Jeff Duncan, a Republican from South Carolina. “We understand some signals were missed, and we want to make sure with this huge agency, with 225,000 employees and a $60 billion budget . . . is information-sharing.”
In 2011, the FBI interviewed Tsarnaev, who died after a gun battle with police on April 19, four days after the bombings. The FBI’s investigation did not reveal that he posed a threat. Officials examining his activity in retrospect have said his radicalization grew in 2012, once he returned to his home in Cambridge from Dagestan, Russia, an restive region that is home to militant Chechen groups.
“One of the questions is, ‘Was there enough data-sharing? How did the brothers get through our law enforcement network?’” asked Representative Richard Hudson, a Republican from North Carolina.
It's hard when some of these guys are agency assets or intelligence agents themselves.
He also wants to probe — with Davis, specifically — whether classified information collected by federal agencies is adequately shared with local officials.
“How much of that information is getting down to the patrol level?” he asked.
“Most of what I’ve seen is that there weren’t cases of gross negligence,” Hudson added. “The larger question is, ‘Are the procedures working? Are there gaps? What are the issues that arose in this case that we never thought about or dealt with before?’”
In a press conference at Logan International Airport, Davis said he was confident his department was properly prepared for the Marathon.
“We would have liked to prevent this,’’ said Davis. “Our job is to prevent these things. When something like this happens, you have to look at every single item of information that we have, everything we did, in preparation to ensure this doesn’t happen again.’’
He said wants to also make sure that lawmakers are given some insight into the four people who were allegedly murdered by the Tsarnaev brothers. “I want to spend some time talking about the victims here as well,’’ Davis said. “Four people were killed in these attacks and hundreds wounded.’’
Some Republicans plan to question whether the country’s visa policies have contributed to the potential terror threats.
Meaning the cheap foreign labor bill called immigration reform will have to be scrapped. Can't be letting student terrorists in to study at university, not in this age of terror. Just can't do it.
Some Democrats plan to praise the use of police training and equipment — and question whether those tools will suffer under federal budget cuts.
It's JUST GREAT to see DEMOCRAPS PRAISE TYRANNY! We gotta get more of them in office so Obama and them can turn this country around, 'eh?
“In this era of sequester, funding for these programs will be threatened,” said Representative Eric Swalwell, a Democrat from California, citing a training program that Boston emergency responders have utilized. “Next time, these coordinated efforts may be threatened . . . we may not be as ready.”
In addition to Davis, Kurt N. Schwartz, the Massachusetts undersecretary for homeland security and emergency management, is scheduled to testify. Former senator Joseph Lieberman, who helped establish the homeland security framework a decade ago; and Erroll G. Southers, a counterterrorism expert and professor at the University of Southern California, also are expected to speak.
Still can't get rid of that s***.
Southers, who has extensive experience in counterterrorism, said the lesson from the Boston bombings might be a tough one for the public to accept.
“The thing we have to come to grips with here is: these kinds of things — meaning homegrown terrorists — will happen,” he said in an interview. “We should try to resist the urge, when these things happen, to fix something.”
Except these guys were... never f***ing mind.
“This is a process of reducing risk,” he added. “We will never be able to eliminate the threat.”
Then TIME TO SCRAP the WHOLE WAR-PROFITEERING TOTALITARIAN TYRANNY because it WON'T WORK -- especially with GOVERNMENT INTELLIGENCE AGENCIES behind all the "terrorists!"
Representative Bill Keating, a Democrat from Bourne who is the only member from Massachusetts on the Homeland Security Committee, said he is considering traveling to Russia to further investigate, following a fact-finding trip by two House staffers. The staffers are preparing a report for release this week.
Good. Maybe the "conspiracy" people will open his mind a bit (if it can get past the wads of lobbyist cash that insulates his brain).
The staffers discovered — through unofficial, nongovernment sources — that Tamerlan Tsarnaev first came on the radar of the Russian security officials when they started questioning William Plotnikov, a Canadian boxer who was linked with extremist groups in Russia, Keating said.
Oh, no, not again!
The Russians then discovered that Tsarnaev was active on a jihadist website and listed his home in the United States. That caused the Russians to ask the FBI for more information.
“I wouldn’t call it warning,” Keating said. “I would call it just an inquiry. ‘What do you know about this guy?’”
Tsarnaev later traveled to Dagestan and he met with both Plotnikov, as well as another extremist, Mansur Mukhamed Nidal, according to Keating’s initial findings.
Plotnikov and Nidal were later killed in separate skirmishes with the Russians. Tsarnaev left Russia shortly after Plotnikov’s death.
In other words, Plotnikov and the other guy were "CIA--Duh."
Nine months later, authorities say, he built and planted the bombs at the finish line at the Boston Marathon.
“We are now facing a new kind of enemy, these cockroaches,” said Representative Candice Miller, a Republican from Michigan. “For these terrorists, their battle line was the finish line of the Boston Marathon. This is a reality we have. . . . We have to be right 100 percent of the time, terrorists just have to be right once.’’
Oh, that is SO post-9/11 from the RACIST REPUGLICAN s*** from MICHIGAN! Been hanging around too many AIPAC lobbyists.

What about the body?
"Returning the body to Russia “is not an option” for the suspect’s uncle, Ruslan Tsarni, who has taken responsibility for the body and lives in Maryland."
And all this time I was led to believe the CIA rat was over in Russia, never mind the irony of him getting custody of the body.
