I heard someone on GEM$NBCmcast say that the surviving suspect is in

[malaise]

critical condition
and I just read this
http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2013/apr/21/boston-marathon-dzhokhar-tsarnaev-injuries

Boston mayor Tom Menino told This Week on ABC that he was so seriously ill that agents might never be able to interrogate him. "We don't know if we'll ever be able to question the individual," he said.

What is the true story?

[ProgressiveProfessor]

1. Nothing comprehensive has been released

Consensus seems to be that he has a neck wound and may not be able to speak for awhile/ever.

Most sites have him in serious but not critical condition.

[malaise]

3. That's why I was surprised to hear critical

and now the mayor is saying he may never answer questions

[femmocrat]

2. They were saying "serious but stable" on the Sunday morning shows.

The only ones who know the "true story" are observing doctor-patient confidentiality, IMO.

7. agreed nt

9. You're probably correct n/t

4. Here's an update thread from the FBI; issued at the request of the hospital...

it doesn't mean the guy can speak though

[malaise]

6. That's from early this morning

Need something more recent

[DonViejo]

13. That's the best we're likely to get...

unless the hospital convinces the FBI to release another statement or, the MD's on the job decide to break their patient's confidentiality.

15. Thanks n/t

[nadinbrzezinski]

5. Serious but stable since to be prevailing

Also if he did enough damage to throat he might never be able to talk again. If there is brain damage they might not be able to try him.

But reality is, none outside the medical community treating him really know. (And the FBI)

I really doubt the Mayor is qualified

[malaise]

8. What a mess

What a waste of a life - stupid stupid inhumane young men

[Buzz Clik]

10. Damn. Do you think we have better info than the mayor of Boston?

[malaise]

11. DU usually has better information that all of M$Greedia

so that wouldn't surprise me.

[darkangel218]

12. I hope he survives. to face a trial and punishment.

Tsarnaev was shot in the throat, U.S. Senator Dan Coats, a member of the Intelligence Committee, told ABC. A source close to the investigation told Reuters he had tongue damage.

"We don't know if we'll ever be able to question the individual," Boston Mayor Thomas Menino said Sunday, also on ABC's "This Week" program.

17. All of it -- and Microsoft no longer owns part of MSNBC, they earlier sold their share to NBC

Microsoft, NBC dissolve MSNBC.com joint venture

Microsoft is pulling out of the joint venture that owned MSNBC.com, freeing the world's largest software maker to build its own online news service.

The breakup announced late Sunday dissolves the final shreds of a 16-year marriage between Microsoft Corp. and NBC News, which is now owned by Comcast Corp. The relationship began to unwind in 2005 when Microsoft sold its stake in MSNBC's cable TV channel to NBC.

So it is all owned by Comcast now.

18. I know about Microsoft n/t

19. My guess is that they are feeding misinfo to keep any other

suspects they may be tracking from getting nervous.

Hell, CBS took pics of the kid climbing out of the boat when he surrendered - and now he is so gravely injured that he will never speak again? Me thinks the mayor overplayed his hand on this one.
