No One Knows What The Hell Is Going On In Boston

Apparently CBS was right, and CNN and Fox were wrong: Now they're saying there has been no arrest in the bombing case.

Though, take this as you will, I hear (for what that's worth) the distinction is between "in custody" and "arrested."

Supposedly the Boston Federal Courthouse has been "evacuated," but this could just be a clearing of a crowd out of the building. That is, everyone showed up there to chase the story and see the perp, and the master of the property (whoever that is) ordered it cleared.

I also saw reports it was a "Code Red" due to a "bomb threat." Honestly I have no idea; I'm not sure anyone does.

I'm told there's something going on at the MIT campus but I don't know what it is. Let me know if you know.

CBS: "WHITE MALE:" I'm starting to think they're just looking for anyone on videotape seen carrying a bag, and really do not have a firm idea of the actual bomber, despite previous reports.

“@CBSNews: JUST IN: Man sought as possible suspect is WHITE MALE, wearing white baseball cap on backwards, gray hoodie and black jacket.”

Is This the Newest Suspect? Dan Riehl again, with another picture. This picture tracks with the CBS suspect description -- white (?-- possibly), white cap on backwards, black jacket. On second look, I don't see a grey hoodie though. I see what seems to be an olive-colored shirt under the jacket.

Dan also links this large-size picture of the site of the bomb's placement, before detonation.

I think perhaps this is a bit of a Rosetta Stone in the investigation -- I think investigators are looking for anyone seen with a backpack in this picture.
