So, sticking to the actual topic (the one that matters):
CNN and other outlets are reporting that a suspect has been arrested. No further details have been confirmed, but reports are that a nearby store's security camera caught the suspect dropping off a suspiciously heavy black duffell bag.
Im sure there'll be more info soon.
EDT: CNN, FOX and now AP are saying there has been an arrest. NBC and CBS are saying there has not been an arrest... So, who knows...

- suspect ID'd, arrest imminent.
- suspect arrested
- suspect NOT arrested
- suspect in custody, under heavy guard
- no arrest yet, no ID, only a description...
Good grief.

Now CNN is backtracking and saying there has been no arrest.
A clusterfuck of mis-information, it seems.
The most accurate headline so far is from Gawker:

Marathon Bombing Suspect Has Been Arrested and Is In Custody But Has Not Been Arrested and May Not Exist

Journalism 101.
Seems some folks in the media aren't quite as professional as they'd like us to think.
One can be in CUSTODY and not be under ARREST. They could be there for questioning, there for more evidence to arrive, tests to come back, or maybe to out other SUSPECTS, who may be who they really want, or can lead them to those involved.
Saying " no arrests have been made " does not mean they don't have anyone.
Imminent - About to occur, impending. ( BUT HAS NOT YET HAPPENED ! )
Summer is immenent does not mean Summer time is here !
( though over here, I guess we'd take " Summer " any time! 
)
ID'd. Identification. Does that mean name, address, phone and SS # , or a general description ? ( Old , young, tall , short, male, female, etc... )
Sounds to me like some reporter got a nugget of information, and ran amok w/ it, hoping to get the story " FIRST! " , but not so accurate.

Yeah, it changes every minute...supposedly press conference at 6 Eastern. From what I hear, there was a leak--FBI, etc., NOT happy about it--and that's probably where all the jumping to conclusions came from.
FBI is being quite up front and adamant that no "arrest" has been made yet. Sounds like this screwed 'em up; some are saying they hoped to keep it quiet to surveil and find any "others". Journalists who don't do a good job of checking their facts, but manage to screw things up nonetheless. What our "new" has come to...

The reporter from CNN said he had not 1 but 2 different credible sources. I guess those bridges have been burned, and maybe this guy's reporting career.
I'd LIKE to think that there IS a security video, and it shows who did this.
That'd be a nice start.

NOW they're reporting that there never WAS a bombing in Boston... it was just some sewer gas, and static electricity!

Anyone's guess is as good as anyone else's at this point. According to CNN (who are obviously being more cautious now):Quote:
Investigators scrambling to solve the fatal bombings at the Boston Marathon want to question a man seen on video as a possible suspect in the attack, two official sources with knowledge of the investigation said Wednesday.
The sources identified the person as a man wearing a white baseball cap. One of the sources added that the cap was on backwards and the man was also wearing a light-colored hooded sweatshirt and a black jacket. The second source said investigators have not identified this person.
The news comes on a day when authorities have made "significant progress" in the case but no arrests, a federal law enforcement source told CNN's John King. Sources previously told CNN that a suspect was in custody, but both Boston police and the FBI denied that any arrests had been made.
In addition, a federal law enforcement source told CNN that "anyone who says 'arrest' is ahead of themselves."
A Boston law enforcement told CNN, "We got him," but wouldn't clarify whether that meant a suspect has been identified or arrested. Some federal sources said it was even too early to say investigators had identified the suspect, but several sources in Boston told CNN that they have a clear identification.

Until they have suspect(s) bagged and tagged, I'm not buying anything.
And even then, I'll probably be a bit suspicious.
