    Your own words (emphasis mine): "If CNN is to be believed (questionable at best, admittedly)..."

    Come on, we both know better than to believe the network famous for how often they fail, and given the statement I make above about the Chechen Radical Muslims...still bullshit. This is the same network that reported the Lord and Taylor camera captured an image of a "dark male" [LIE] and that an arrest had been made [LIE].

    They have no connection to the Chechen insurgency.

    I was playing into the Daily Show lambasting of CNN, but other outlets like HuffPo and the Daily Mail (UK) have also confirmed the link between the brothers and Chechen muslim radicalism. Maybe if you tried other sources for news besides Fox, you'd see that real journalism tries to support its claims with fact, instead of just yelling.

    The Chechen insurgency is/was originally more about nationalism, but more recently it's been about Islamic fundamentalism. So the brothers' terrorist attack most certainly has ties to Chechen Islamic radicalism.


    “For God will not permit that we shall know what is to come... those who by some sorcery or by some dream might come to pierce the veil that lies so darkly over all that is before them may serve by just that vision to cause that God should wrench the world from its heading and set it upon another course altogether and then where stands the sorcerer? Where the dreamer and his dream?”

    Oh...but too bad you're full of shit. The DailyFail...really? They're worse than FoxNews, by an order of magnitude. It's a fucking tabloid. Rupert Murdock's UK tabloid was more respected that the DailyMail, and News of the World got canceled due to a scandal involving hacking a dead girl's voicemail. Look at their website right now. Top stories: Kim Kardashian's wardrobe today! and she hosted a CrAzY party. Tragedy of 'healthy' Italian student, 23, who died hours after getting a Tattoo. Ooo, the Femail section sidebar, which is all gossip rag shit. You just proved you have no idea what's going on in the world. HuffPo isn't a whole lot better, just less celebrity gossip. Note I said less, not none, because they have a whole topic on the Kardashians, updated daily! O.M.G. the latest news I'm so concerned about!!!


    Like I've been saying: Caucasus Emirate, considered terrorists by both Russia, the US, and the UN, denies involvement with the Boston attack and any and all connection with the Tsarnaevs brothers. [Second source link.] Doesn't completely absolve them, but better than random speculation by a conservative gossip rag and and a liberal blog that just copies whatever CNN or AP articles are out there.
