Oh fer crying out loud. Wolf Blitzer "speculates" on a Patriots Day connection to marathon event.

The site remains a possible crime scene and obviously an EMS situation.

Blitzer isn't reporting breaking news, he's promoting some side line that doesn't meet journalistic standards.

Stick to the news Wolf and CNN, please.

Remember all the speculation just following the Oklahoma City bombing? People from all across the political spectrum were just sure it was the work of Islamist terrorists.
