Bowdich also said that the search of the couple's Redlands home turned up 19 pipes capable of being turned into bombs.
And there are several explanations that are more likely than the one the FBI has been desperately trying to sell a gullible public.
1) Farook did it alone because he went postal on his co-workers, and his wife was only part of the getaway.
2) Farook enlisted his friend who got him the guns to help him go postal on his co-workers, and his wife was only part of the getaway.
3) Organized crime wanted to take out some honest county employees and set up the Farooks as convenient patsies.
4) Any individual or small group of individuals who saw an opportunity to profit from this event set up the Farooks as convenient patsies.
Criminals look for innocent people to cast suspicion on for their crimes every day. The police want someone convenient for them to blame. When that someone is served up to them, they typically don't go out of their way to search for alternative explanations. That's one of the reasons why we have defense attorneys and private detectives who are hired by defense attorneys.
The Farooks were already dead. They are convenient to blame. Blaming them serves the interests of scare mongers, war mongers, and everybody else who eats at the Homeland Security or DoD trough. Why search for alternative explanations?

What? That's not a witness talking. That is an unnamed source in the "fog of war".

LOL. Even after the anthrax attacks & the WMDs, some still believe anything they try to sell you.

there are still twelve people dead. Posting support for jihad or not does not ease the grief.
