OPEN THREAD TUESDAY

The BBC Has Standards…
According to the Associated Press Dzhokhar Tsarnaev has admitted that his attack was motivated by religion:
‘Interrogators questioned him at the hospital, letting him write down his replies, and his answers led them to believe he and his brother were motivated by religious extremism but appeared to have no major terrorist group connections, said U.S. officials’
‘Can an act of violence be called ‘terrorism’ if the motive is unknown?’
The BBC probably still thinks it was some RedneckChristiananti-abortionistlowtaxgoodoldboys in sleeveless tee shirts but they do worry about this fellow, Mr Tsarnaev, who is being held in custody and wasn’t read his rights for a while:
‘Justice department officials said that in an effort to “gain critical intelligence”, they decided to question Mr Tsarnaev “extensively” before giving him the so-called “Miranda” warning of his right to remain silent and to have a lawyer present during questioning.’
Not a clue as to what he said when questioned…though they point out he couldn’t afford a lawyer:
‘Mr Tsarnaev responded to questions mostly in writing. He nodded when asked if he was able to answer some questions and whether he understood his rights, the notes read.
He managed to say the word “no” when asked if he could afford a lawyer.’
Anyway, that’s one possible subject for the new open thread.
You choose the rest……….
