1. What they are using as a source falsely says they've arrested him. Hence, suspect source. Sorry.

"Investigators have arrested a suspect in the Boston Marathon bombing after reviewing photos and video from Monday’s event, a federal source confirmed to FoxNews.com."

5. How do you know they haven't arrested him??

I think they did arrest him but didn't want word to get out due to security issues, so the Feds want the media to backtrack and cause confusion. If it is getting leaked that they made an arrest, chances are they probably made an arrest.

2. This isn't the suspect. As someone pointed out

the windows are blown out, this pic is post blast. He's wearing a gray baseball cap instead of white and the bball cap was on backwards.

I'll wait for the FBI presser at 5pm.

13. Isn't he touching a backpack?

Could the backpack have a change of clothes in it? It probably would not have seemed odd to change given a lot people do so at marathons. So even though the clothes are wrong maybe he is the right guy.

The Spidey sense is definitely picking up those vibes, and was even before seeing that pic.

4. The descriptions I've heard on NBC report...

the suspect is wearing a white baseball cap and a grey hoody. The "suspect" in the pic you linked to is wearing a grey hat. Oh, NBC also reported the baseball cap was on backwards.

17. Arrest him for that 90s baseball cap style error

Sorry if this slight humor sounds offensive but my larger point is that this to me screams not modern/urban and maybe not American because who wears that look these days? However in other countries it's still tres cool.
