I'm not sure if I got the chain of events quite right, but from what I understand: Carlos Arredondo (Cowboy Hat Hero) springs into action like Superman and saves the life of Jeff Bauman (the victim who lost both legs). Bauman wakes up from anesthesia and the first thing he does is describe the suspect. The description helps the authorities focus their attention and leads to identifying the suspects from all the hundreds of people in the photos.

I know it's overly trite and simplistic, but a good deed helps defeat evil -- and in this case, not symbolically but quite directly.

Carlos was apparently rewarded by being thoroughly investigated for involvement.

And he apparently took it all with astonishing grace and composure. I suspect that Mr. Arredondo is one hell of a person. As others have said, the man should never have to pay for another drink in Boston.

I wonder what the conspiracy theorists will make of this? Did the authorities plant the bomb because they want to invade Chechnya, or maybe because they want an excuse to put cctv cameras in all public areas?

Agreed, but he may feel very cornered right now, if he's still inside the cordon.

CNN just finished a phone call with an ex high school class mate. I'm leaning more towards what I said just a bit ago. It may be that his brother convinced him that life in the US was intolerable and wouldn't get better and this was a good plan. :(


And something may be breaking in that neighborhood right now... cops swarming...

I don't see Islam or Muslim or even religion referred to there. Perhaps it's your personal bias?

Oh please, that is standard phrasing for islam. Just Google hatred of the west and our freedoms and see what comes up. Don't weasel from under it.
