| My first reaction was "Al Qaeda!" but I took that back after I noticed the scale. Attacks from them usually kill a lot more, do they not? However, only half of the known bombs were detonated. Cell service was cut after the blast preventing further blasts. |

I don't think crazy people generally orchestrate four different bombs. This was thought-out. |

Terrorism doesn't have to have a huge immediate impact. Due to this incident, how much money will we burn? How much liberty will be taken?

Makes some sense. You want to spread terror? Hitting mundane targets might do a good job. People are already on edge when they get on planes, why not keep them scared when they are in their city? |

Which they based upon a total lie. American libertarian conservatives are not the frothing at the mouth lunatics that do that shit. Gifford's assailant was a lefty. Obama's guru, Bill Ayers, is a lefty.
And I'm still laughing that my original tag of [RoP] is proving accurate.

Your denial of the reality of the problem is what's laughable. "Diversity" and "Political Correctness" lead to blindness and death... and even when confronted with the slaughter of innocents, you still ignore the problem.
Hint : Islam is a totally fuct ideology.

Among other fuct ideologies, consumerism for example. Communism. Fascism. Zionism. Nationalism. Racism. Capitalism. In fact, every ideology. That is exactly the problem. People have this belief that by inventing a new way of interpreting the universe, they can somehow overcome it's mechanism. Like making GMO food, or using antibiotics for everything.
Antibiotic-resistent bacteria would disagree. |

And still you are insisting that you are correct without proof (note while in active investigation they are not going to let alot of info out)
You are speculating that [RoP] is accurate but you have nothing to back that statement. It probably is but you cannot push personal opinion as fact. The Generic argument and composition/division argument is flawed, however much experience you can pull on to justify it, it isn't fact-base or provable.

maybe because in this business the "real weapon" is the media that spreads the information. So nearly every target fits, and moreover the marathon is focused by a lot of people...

not only that but planning for a low-level target would be alot simpler. One man could do it
One man working alone is all but impossible to catch since there is no communications trail for intelligence services or investigators to work with or be alerted to
Look at the unabomber

The current reality is that they don't know. So what am I denying precisely? oh, right. your unfounded conclusions.
I never knew that it was political correctness to wait for evidence before accusing people. Even if you a right, it isn't good to jump to conclusions. This happened with the Norway incident as well. |

All ideas about who did this are speculation at this point. Nevertheless, it's not unreasonable to speculate, provided it's couched as that and you don't do something stupid like violate people's rights based on it.
The last attempt at something like this in the U.S. was a home-grown Islamic terrorist. However, the last (somewhat) successful attempt at something like this was a home-grown terrorist with an extremist social conservative ideology. Most of his targets corresponded to that ideology (abortionists, gays, etc.). My money is still on homegrown Jihadist terrorists. (I further speculate, wildly, that it was a small number of either Northeast region college students (perhaps Boston), or jobless derka-derka techno-yuppies from the same area.)
