The topic description is mine:

It seems the police did not even bother to tell the media. Had he been Muslim you most likely would of heard about it and the media would have hyped it up to generate more fear.

The media though at least is not the same media of the Bush-era where "terrorism" was a word repeated every 30 seconds in media.

Of course we can't just go and bomb Chechnya (it is inside Russia) as we did Iraq (who was not even involved in 9-11). No money to be made here, move along folks, nothing to see.

or, alternatively, they decided that it wasn't worth instigating panic over something they think the've dealt ith sufficently.

Got agree with 'ya on that one. I think most of the hijackers in 9/11 were from Saudi Arabia...

Anyway, we ALL know who will benefit from these "terrorist bombings" and it's the US Military Industrial Complex. More drones, more money for the companies that make them...

Just to interject a point. It's not the Polices job to 'notify' the media on something like this.

This is all on the media themselves.

The plot was foiled and nothing happened.

... the Boston Bombings

The plot succeeded and people were killed at a high profile event.

Hope that helps.

I must say it's a bit surprising to see people upset with the media not talking about a failed terrorist plot. Normally it's the other way around.

Your quick whips and "educated" beliefs in the war in Iraq are awe-inspiring. Unfortunately, you're COMPLETELY wrong. I served over 5 tours in Iraq and Afghanistan with the 101st Special Operations and still hold a very high security clearance. The "education" people received from their only resource, the media, was SO completely wrong, that it still makes me sick.

Again, the assumptions you have expressed on the war in Iraq and Afghanistan are complete tosh and an absolute fallacy.

Panasenko also tells the Daily News that that explosives were in fact fireworks, not bombs. “They were fireworks,” he said, adding, “Obviously, it was a bad idea.”

Panasenko was released on his own recognizance, The Daily News reports, after investigators searched his home and found material to make explosives, but found no completed devices.

so now fireworks are ied's???? if it really was bombs, would he be releaced on his own recognizance??????

These were just homemade fireworks with no intention of being used on people.

Technically they were IEDs, but were never Bombs or weapons.

But you bet the media would have jumped all over this story if this kid were in any way related to the Tea Party.

LOL You know something, this morning when I first saw this topic I wrote out something about how the word "IED" is used so broadly to describe anything that explodes whether it's an M80 or a mortar shell converted into a bomb. Same thing also goes to road flares the police and media refer to those as incendiary devices. I ended up not posting because I got distracted and ended up closing out chrome.
