I watched Fox News during most of the last hours before the capture and it was done very professionally. Bret Baer and Shep Smith did a really good job. So it's unfair to condemn all of Fox News for how it treated the entire marathon story.

As a resident in the Boston area, my only comment about local news coverage is that when news anchors stay up and try to talk for 36 hours straight it gets a bit giddy and repetitive.

If you think about it, the authorities did an excellent job of finding the bombers. On the other hand, the bombers, had no exit plan and no cash to move on elsewhere. I guess we are still among the most hated countries in the world. the ugly Americans.. It is about time to cut down the number of student visas and fill those seats with Americans, especially the medical seats.

A) The boys weren't here on Student Visas, they were granted asylum nearly 10 years ago. B) You're going to deny access to the enterprising and promising student from Namibia because of what two AMERICANS did in Boston? |

Poor sky. Can't get out of his own way, I guess.

Obviously, the bomber were not born here, and ended up hating our country, so how can you call them Americans. they were refugees who bit the hand that saved them. Would you want them as your next door neighbor?

You do realize that the one still alive is a citizen, don't you?

Um. OK. So what is your definition of citizen, if not for the one codified under US law? Is there a super-secret skyhoya citizenship I need to make sure I apply for? Is there a codeword? Secret handshake?
Also, which refugees should I not be worried about? Those that look like us (i.e., Caucasian), those that are mostly like us, but a little brown (i.e., Cuban)? Clearly I know I need to worry about the Darfuris, Egyptians or anyone else that's completely "other", but I'm really confused about the line of demarcation. Please give me some guidance.

These guys were actually the definition of Caucasian, what with being from the Caucases and all.

It is all the Serbs fault, they re-started the conflict between religions. That said, it might have happen anyway.
