How they found the Boston bombers


The Washington Post has an excellent and very informative article detailing how law enforcement authorities analyzed evidence after the Boston bombing, identified the attackers, and closed the net around them.  I won't excerpt it here, because you really need to read the whole thing to get the full picture.  It's pretty impressive, looking at how fast they pulled all the pieces together and found the guilty parties.

Go read.

There are some "detractors" to the methods used however.

Got this item over at the Jawa blog:

Eh. She seems to be complaining about a picture of the dead kid because it isn't pretty.

Violence isn't pretty, and neither are its results. There is no so such thing as "clean violence" outside of a Hollywood movie.

Not really sure what point she was trying to make. I think she's just been gobsmacked by a sliver of reality, and is unhappy about it.
