Boston Terror Narrative Starts Falling Apart
We have no idea whether or not the Chechen brothers Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev were the Boston terrorists.
But several parts of the official narrative are already falling apart.
Initially, the claim that they robbed a 7-11 is totally false. USA Today reported on April 19th:
There was a 7-Eleven robbery in Cambridge last night, but it had nothing to do with the Boston Marathon bombing suspects.
Margaret Chabris, the director of corporate communication at 7- Eleven, says the surveillance video of the crime was not taken at a 7-Eleven and that the suspect that did rob the 7-Eleven does not look like Tamerlan or Dzhokhar Tsarnaev.
"The suspect in the photos for that particular 7-Eleven robbery looks nothing like the suspects," Chabris says. "The police or someone made a mistake. Someone was confused."

At an earlier press conference morning, when [State Police Superintendent Timothy Alban] described the manhunt and standoff that resulted in the death of an MIT police officer, he also said that the two brothers robbed a 7-Eleven.
Moreover, the FBI initially denied ever having spoken with either of the brothers. But CBS news notes:
The FBI admitted Friday they interviewed the now-deceased Boston Marathon bombing suspect Tamerlan Tsarnaev two years ago and failed to find any incriminating information about him.
Other oddities include the following:
- According to the head cross country coach at the University of Mobile - a marathon runner who has run in numerous big races - bomb-sniffing dogs and a bomb squad inspected the runners ... and authorities repeatedly announced over the loudspeaker that they were conducting drills. This occurred at the start of the Boston marathon. He believes that authorities must have had credible evidence of a bomb threat
- Neoconservatives provided substantial support to terrorists in Chechnya
- Chechens have previously been framed (by the Russians) for terrorist acts which they probably didn't commit
Again, they might be guilty. But as Glenn Greenwald notes:
The overarching principle here should be that Dzhokhar Tsarnaev is entitled to a presumption of innocence until he is actually proven guilty. As so many cases have proven - from accused (but exonerated) anthrax attacker Stephen Hatfill to accused (but exonerated) Atlanta Olympic bomber Richard Jewell to dozens if not hundreds of Guantanamo detainees accused of being the "worst of the worst" but who were guilty of nothing - people who appear to be guilty based on government accusations and trials-by-media are often completely innocent. Media-presented evidence is no substitute for due process and an adversarial trial.
Indeed, the FBI said it was sure that Bruce Ivins was the anthrax killer (after falsely accusing 2 other people of being the culprits).
However, the National Academy of Science found that the FBI failed to prove its case.
Note: Media said that the door-to-door searches conducted in Watertown were voluntary. However - whether or not you agree with the need to do so - the searches were not always exactly voluntary.

so the criminals are floating a trial balloon to see if the public would believe an Iran-Boston link... stupid beyond belief. Sadam has WMD.... box cutters brought down WTC building 7... i could go on and on...
Here's CNN caught using the same witness twice, first for the bombing and then later as a witness for the shootout near the 711. Such bullshit! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SbqVqI1cWXc&feature=youtu.be
Boston police commisioner refers to two suspects as "actors" - http://youtu.be/XHdNLzD6KWM
At work we refer to unknown individuals as "actors" when referring to them in the context of electronic threat mitigation and prevention. Im not saying you are wrong but *this* particular police commissioner referring to 'actors' thread doesnt tingle my spidey sense.
ac·tor[ak-ter] noun
1. a person who acts in stage plays, motion pictures, television broadcasts, etc.
2. a person who does something; participant.
"External actors could take advantage of weakness in system x and gain access via malicious code or phishing exploits" Does this imply they are paid thespians? If so, I am a co-conspirator.
BTW I up arrowed your "Here's CNN caught using the same witness twice"
Boris confused... Boston Marathon Bomber is naked white guy?! Where is hide pressure cooker!?
Boris not eat beans when grow up in borscht belt?
Borscht is not bean, but is beets. But Boris is give up beats in Chernobyl because cannot is longer tell when urine red from blood or beets (Boris later find out is red from bad batch of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, but is long story involve vodka and stolen anti-freeze).

George: My favorite uncle used to say "Never let facts get in the way of a good story" which I think was paraphrasing a Samuel Clements quote
Best counter logic out there.....
If the FBI knew about them earlier, why did they post their images and say who are these guys?
