More awakenings on OU blast story

What if they held a suicide bombing and nobody covered it? asks the Politburo Diktat?

He cites several news stories and several critiques from the Pajamahadeen, and makes the following points and/or observations:

Again, nothing in the mass media even approaches this level of questioning. Setting the WND (which, as Scheie notes, is prone to hysteria) report aside, something is definitely rotten in Denmark here, and unfortunately, one of two things is going on here: either it’s media dropping the ball on a massive scale, or it’s a media whitewash — out of a desire for “political correctness” or a desire to protect certain politicians whose agendas these organizations favor but who are not serious about fighting terrorism. (Actually, I’ll bet on the first one.)

I’m not talking about jumping to conclusions. I’m talking about asking questions, including one that the media doesn’t seem to be interested in: Why did a young man, who is apparently a frequent visitor to a mosque, who had Middle Eastern roommates who may have been in possession of jihad literature, who did have a large amount of explosives in his apartment, travel to a place 100 yards from a crowd of over 80,000 people to blow himself up?

Indeed. It's the same set of questions we've been asking.
