I have a colleague currently in Boston whose wife was running the marathon. Just heard that they are both o.k.
I agree with Donks, gloomy, those pictures shouldn't have been posted.“If everything's under control, you're going too slow.” Mario Andretti

BBC News - Boston Marathon hit by twin explosions
Mr Obama stopped short of calling the incident an act of terrorism.
Why? Why not call a spade a spade? That's precisely what this is - a criminal act intended or calculated to provoke a state of terror in the general public. This is a hideous and disgusting thing.The Old Republic was a stupidly run organisation which deserved to be taken over. All Hail Palpatine!

I assume because as soon as he says "terrorism" it will automatically be taken to mean Islamic. And might cause retaliation attacks against that minority. Originally Posted by Rollo

Just like they use the word "torture" when the bad guys do it, but when we do it it's called "enhanced interrogation".
I don't believe "terrorism" will be used if this was domestic issue, rather than say Al Qaeda or related.
It was on qualifying stage, he rolled the car and it was said that he won't be able to start the rally. But team managed to repair the car and he did start and dominated drivers like Rossel, Gryazin...
