I know this isn't the FBI's charge, but I do hope that we as a society have not become so blinded by fear of terrorism that we are incapable of being merciful in a case like this. These were three college students helping a friend. There's no indication whatsoever that they were al Qaeda terrorists or some such. We should not need a pound of flesh from these kids.

Three college students arrested for helping Boston suspect
Let's not forget this is the same mainstream media everyone has been ranting about for years. Maybe just maybe we could actually wait for the FACTS to come out and not jump to conclusions.
