Yeah wouldn't be surprised. people would go through extreme measures to "Protest" but imagine what such zeal/insanity would do if put towards lobbying or some other legal means of effecting outcomes in our government.

The implications are grand and people don't even understand what this means.

I have also had problems with CISPA. Let's hope the Senate kills it again. In my previous life it wasn't cyber terrorism but drug deals that we would quite often be privileged to. Of course, we were mandated by federal law so we could not reveal any information we had gathered. Anonymous tips work quite well, however. The same can still apply even in these situations.

If he were living in the U.S. as a Saudi national he would need a visa. While some tourists are exempt, dependent upon their country, Saudi Arabia is not included. If he was here on business or just as a tourist then he can legally be here 90 days without a visa. Student, employment, media or resident all require a visa.

Interesting enough, the Taliban has denied any and all connection to the bombings. Not to say I trust them and they're good guys or anything, but I do believe them in this case as for them personally, they are trying to lay low and rebuild. One of their leaders was quoted as saying before al queda's actions on 9-11, the Taliban controlled 90% of afghanistan. Now they control very little. They are trying to avoid any more conflict to rebuild, which makes sense to me. Though they did say they still support the terrorist organizations, which basically makes their statements moot, but I still found it interesting.
Regardless, our current situation has us fighting splinter cells that may call themselves anything. Whether they have any actual connection to those groups is impossible to really know.
One suspect dead and the other on the run in the Watertown area. The reporting this morning said "These are terrorists that came to this country to kill people".
One report this morning...
After they killed a police officer (MIT campus police) and stole an SUV a chase ensued. They were shooting and tossing explosives out of the vehicle. On the dead one.......a doctor said there were shrapnel wounds and too many bullet wounds to count. GOOD!
Now being reported that they are either Russian or Chechnyan.
Watertown Ma. is in lock down.
One suspect is dead and there's a door to door search for the other suspect.
MIT officer is dead.News are unfolding by the minute.
Glued to the TV. My youngest son's college campus has cancelled classes. His clinical at Boston Medical Center was also cancelled. For all intents and purposes, the Greater Boston area is on lockdown.

I hope no more innocent people get hurt while they take this freak out. Police dogs included.
A mouse ate a hole in my lumpy chair.
Just heard they are suiting up and getting ready to go into that residence in Watertown.
Almost certain they'll have a body or prisoner in a very short time.
The only relevant thing might be that they're Muslim. And Chechnyan--usually critical of Russia not the US.
Other than that, it's a mystery what their beef was.
Yup,the suspects were identified by law enforcement officials and a family member as Dzhokhar and Tamerlan Tsarnaev, brothers from a Russian region near Chechnya, which has been plagued by an Islamic insurgency stemming from separatist wars.
One word, muslim.
Nice, ABC news just reported that suspect 2 is enrolled at UMass Dartmouth. The school is on lockdown. I received both of my undergraduate degrees from UMass Dartmouth, and it was one of the universities I taught at for about 10 years.

Just getting shot is not good enough for those scumbags
We'll try to make sense out of all this and them, but in the end, extremism has many faces and some of them have been our own.
Suspect 2 goes to school about a mile away from Stargazer's home.
