MT @jaketapper: DOJ: no Miranda rights to suspect now; govt invoking public safety exception to question him. High Value Detainee Interr.

RT @visionbrokerage: @Atul_Gawande I'm sure the fight for an attorney will get ugly. This will sadly make some lawyers career.
Then there's this view RT @BroodingPelican: plenty of liberals will line up to defend his civil liberties...after the smoke clears
RT @rjn050: @Atul_Gawande yes! He needs the very best so that no one can question the quality of justice and the verdict

People incredibly jittery. Scene chaotic. Sorting innocent from guilty--benign from malignant--terribly difficult but important.
This picture is incredibly awful. Martin Richard, 8-year-old victim, circled in blue. Suspect in red. fm4.fm/ZB4Cdj

Atlanta had 5 of 6 of these factors in its favor. Boston had 6 of 6. Waco TX responders have 1 of 6 at best. Thoughts are with them.
6. The first responders and hospital providers have received advance training regarding the essentials of blast injury care.
5. The explosion is detonated outside (lessening fatality count and blast severity) rather than inside.)
4. The explosion occurs at the city center, close to many hospitals and, ideally, multiple trauma centers.
3. The explosion occurs during business hours so lots of staff are around.
2. The explosion occurs when hospital ORs and other services are operating at less than full capacity due to the event.
1. The explosion occurs at a big event with extra police and EMS pre-deployed.

.@ezraklein Of course the fateful question is, what if all every style of leadership fails?
