    I was so hoping someone would put a gag order on the media. I have caught enough mice or in this case rats, to know they won't come out until they feel somewhat safe. As soon as they lifted the shelter in house and the police said they would try again the next day, the rat came out.

    If they had made the media stop telling every move the police were doing, I think it would have been over sooner. "Well, the police are now going from house to house on such a such block"..... thanks for tiping the rat off on where to stay away from. sheesh

    The "rat" was detected after the SIP was lifted because he was in the boat of the backyard of the person who wanted to check things out. The perp was apparently out cold at the time. But I agree about the media shooting (pardon the pun) their mouths off. I got irritated because they couldn't even speak coherently (Wolf Blitzer, I'm talking to YOU!).

    I had to revive this subject because of todays "big story"

    Frankly, I was perfectly fine not knowing where Tamerlan Tsarnaev was buried. Why the big push to get the news out and cause more fuss because of the humanity of someone who decided the right thing to do was to provide a burial plot for him?

    Why is this such huge news? He's dead. Bury him, and be done with it.

    There was a 'man on the street interview' with a woman who stated, "He's dead and we can't do anything to him, bury him and let's move on..."

    I agree.

    Maybe a 'burial at see' would have been a little more apropo seeing the problems that may arise because of his burial?

    I found it somewhat morbidly amusing that a local (to Boston) radio host was sounding like an absolute neanderthal n this particular issue. (we get one of the Boston stations out here after dark).

    Bury him, move on. Should have been at either the Dix or Devens prison cemeteries in an unmarked grave. by dragging this out they're giving the bastard more publicity than he should get.

    I stand by my opinion that perps in crimes like this shouldn't even be identified by name in the media, instead referred to as idiot #XYZ.

    It was ultimately up to his family, no one else, as to where and how he would be buried. I just didn't care, or need to know where his body is interred. And I doubt most Boston-area folks really don't care either! Let's focus on the survivors, thanks!

    Karen, I for one DO want to know where he's buried. The reason? They were offering him a plot in a cemetary here in Ohio where my sister's husband is buried and she too eventually will be buried! My SILs mother (and her father to follow) is buried there also. They were both outraged and upset.
    I know, Christian thing to do and all that, but when it comes to thinking your body or that of a loved one might be buried next to him I think people have a right to know if they're buying plots in a 'terrorist' cemetary.
