Yeah, put me in the domestic terrorism threat, too.

I hate all this. Not just for the personal cost, but also because it puts us a little closer to a police state.

Like it did after 9/11...

There are more than a few capable of extremist.  There is a reason IED/EFP are the number one killer of allied troops/Iraqi/Afghani civilians overseas.

Yeah, but they're generally pooled over there. Now probably Syria, too. I was referring more to the ones who are already resident on foreign Western soil. Either lone wolves or terror cells.

The low casualty count compared to one bomb doing much more damage over in the sandbox and the Stan are reasons why people over here are pointing toward domestic terrorism.  Also typically Islamist extremist want everybody to know it was them as soon as possible.

If they're reasonably intelligent and planning a campaign, they might not. Might just be a first phase to keep security services guessing.

Islamic extremism just seems the most likely, right now. The location/event doesn't really represent much of a target which would appeal to most other ideologies.

This got over shadowed by the Boston bombings, which is a shame because patents on HIV and cancer strains limit research to just those who own them. And most only release their research if they can turn a profit off it. Breakthroughs that could have saved countless lives have happened if all these patents weren't in place.

The ridiculousness of gene patenting and the likes was first known to me when I started reading Next by Michael Crichton. He was outraged and wrote a book about it. Last book he wrote before dying, which is ironic..

It frustrates me to think how many world problems could have been solved by now if scientists pooled all their findings together.

A twenty-year-old man who had been watching the Boston Marathon had his body torn into by the force of a bomb. He wasn't alone; a hundred and seventy-six people were injured. But he was the only one who, while in the hospital being treated for his wounds, had his apartment searched in "a startling show of force," as his fellow-tenants described it to the Boston Herald, with a "phalanx" of officers and agents and two K9 units. He was the one whose belongings were carried out in paper bags as his neighbors watched; whose roommate, also a student, was questioned for five hours ("I was scared") before coming out to say that he didn't think his friend was someone who'd plant a bomb—that he was a nice guy who liked sports. "Let me go to school, dude," the roommate said later in the day, covering his face with his hands and almost crying, as a Fox News producer followed him and asked him, again and again, if he was sure he hadn't been living with a killer.

"Wherever we find Americans we will kill them, but we don't have any connection with the Boston Explosions,"

Taliban deny involvement but their statement is just as bad!.

I'm thinking domestic more and more.  Two political officials sent envelopes with ricin.  One being the President.

Looking at the Twitter remark, it does obviously look like sarcasm. Especially when you've seen him interviewed on camera before - him saying something like that in a serious manner is a laughable accusation. Unfortunately, stuff like that doesn't transmit over text so well. Still, a bit ridiculous for anyone to have assumed he was literally calling for all Muslims to be slaughtered, let alone a journalist.

Sensationalism like this reminds me of the time Huffington Post tried to claim Glenn Beck supported slavery and then posted the supposedly incriminating audio... Which had him saying exactly the opposite.
