If you're going to do a false flag op, wearing gear with your company logo on it seems like a pretty glaring mistake.

And AZ, if you think that you'd have noticed and been able to prevent it for certain you're kidding yourself. Even the best special ops folks are still just humans with all the limitations that implies.

Hell, to the infowars crowd doing it in uniform and claiming responsibility is probably the best proof that the group represented didn't actually do it.

My HMMWV got blown up while I was on route clearance duty. Does that mean I'm incompetent because we missed one IED out of many many more that we found?

Well....we have to send the bill to someone....

Well, you actually did find it  ;)

Or AQ who got their idea of American dress from movies about frat boys. Or a sleeper cell of local jihadis like Roubini mentioned. http://www.politico.com/blogs/media/2013/04/roubini-sleeper-cell-behind-boston-attack-161845.html

But honestly, this is confusing. If it was a defitional "terrorist" attack ie attempting to affect political change via infliction of terror then you'd see someone claiming responsibility. If it was a random crazy dude ala the Unabomber there wouldn't be two of them. It's not an obvious and symbolic target like a building or gathering to support an ideology. I don't get the targeting, I don't get the methodology, I don't get the suspects. On 9/11, it was pretty clear why they did what they did even if their "logic" was absurd and evil. But this? Just feels like an openning act...

Let's think through the groups that might have done this.

AQ or similar: Boston marathon not a symbolic target, no claimed responsibility.

OWS types: marathon not a right wing or capitalist institution, no claimed responsibility.

Domestic right winger ala Chris Matthews wet dreams: Boston marathon not symbolic of anything they'd be pissed about, no claimed responsibility.

Random crazy person: not usually a group, no manifesto.

I mean, what does that even leave? Radical environmentalists?

It just keeps bugging me. If this was an ideological statement, there would have been responsibility claimed.

True... But they weren't even competent to change cars. Something like this suggests a higher order of competence. I dunno...

Imagine if someone wanted to truly demonstrate the futility of government (especially reactive government) and was willing to throw their life away to do so.  Show the ultimate folly of Patriot Acts to their final goal.

Bombings with no explanation or claims of responsibility or demands.  Chemical plant explosions.  Poison sent in the mail to lawmakers.  Maybe some attacks on transportation infrastructure, next?

No goal other than to compel people to choke themselves on an excess of ineffective rules.


ETA:  No, I'm not your guy.  I was physically in my office in Scottsdale that day, and as frustrated as I am with the system, I'm not at that point. =D

I don't understand why anyone would target the Boston Marathon, either. It doesn't even get much news coverage or have that high of a profile. I'm thinking it must have been someone looking for a large group of people, but something easier to get into than your usual sporting event or concert. Someone local.
