1. Good statement.

I just read on Twitter that it took them 2 years to figure out it was Eric Rudolph who planted the bomb in Atlanta in '96. So, apart from honoring the victims, this news story is going to peter out until we know more. I avoid TV news like the plague. I looked for a few minutes yesterday and was turned off by all cable networks. Just utter crap. Newspapers do a much better job, even though there have been quite a few errors that had to be corrected (to be fair, I think officials have made mistakes as well).

I also really liked this post which represents how I feel: http://www.theatlantic.com/national/archive/2013/04/the-boston-marathon-bombing-keep-calm-and-carry-on/275014/
