You were seriously using the fact (if true) that somebody likes to have
bodyguards paid with other peoples' money as evidence of the accuracy of their
purported terrorist research?

Media Blames Republicans, 'Tax Day,' Saudi Man for Bombing
Politically-motivated speculation is rampant. Boston police say no suspects are
in custody
16 hrs ago by Mary Noble
Today witnessed some striking examples of a long-standing American tradition:
groundless political speculation from the media following a terrorist attack.
Chris Matthews suggested a "tax day" tie-in, implying that perhaps
anti-government could be the motive for the bombings.
The "explosion is a reminder that ATF needs a director. Shame on Senate
Republicans for blocking apptment," tweeted the NYTimes's Nicholas Christof.
He's since retracted.
Meanwhile Alex Jones of the right-wing site Infowars suggested the government
might be responsible: "Our hearts go out to those that are hurt or killed
#Boston marathon - but this thing stinks to high heaven #falseflag."
The NY Post's report that a Saudi national is being held under guard at a
hospital came under fire from the Washington Post. However, the "Saudi in
hospital" story has a good deal more credibility than speculations about
"right-wing extremists." CBS is also reporting that a Saudi man is being
questioned, and Politico independently reports that a "person of interest," a
foreigner, is being treated at Tufts Medical Center. The NY Post is sticking to
their story, which is still live and unchanged on their site.
More questionably, the Daily Caller has attached a photo montage of the 9/11
hijackers to their story, presumably to remind readers how deadly Saudis can be.
Boston police have denied several times today that any suspect is in custody or
under guard.
CNN has drawn ire because one of their experts speculated that "right-wing
extremists" could be behind the Boston explosions - but in fact the expert gave
equal weight to the possibility of Al Qaeda involvement.
