The manhunt/caputure continues to be shown to have been a life-saver, for potentially hundreds or thousands of people who may have been killed or maimed:

Quote:
New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg said today that Boston Marathon bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev told the FBI that he and his brother, Tamerlan, intended to drive to New York to set off more bombs.

The bombing suspects “intended to drive to New York and detonate additional explosives in Times Square,” Bloomberg said. Bloomberg said city officials had been notified by the FBI Wednesday night about the statements by Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, who is in the hospital recovering from bullet wounds after his capture Friday by police.

Well that's all he needed to hear. I'll wager he's busy in his office drafting proposals for new laws.

It's a good thing the FBI got this BEFORE the judge read him his rights!

I wonder what else we could have gotten from him? We will never know now!

The manhunt that was called off because it . . . . didn't find him???

Was a block and a half away from where he was actually hiding???

Wonder how far away he would have been had he not be injured? Or been working someone else? Or not spotted by the elderly man?

An official with the UN called the Boston manhunt a "hysterical dragnet."

Yup, if NYCers think that the circle of steel suvelliance was something--that is just a taste of what's to come. They've been trying to implement those infared X ray guns to search people for a few years now and Bloomberg himself said that he wants a camera 'on every corner' a few months ago. This situation very well may be his lock in key to getting it. Plus whatever he can't finish up himself, he'll pass the baton onto the front runner candidate Christine Quinn.

I think I saw a similar comment (as misquoted from the "UN" source) attributed to another idiot. Maybe it was the same one.
