Well said, Wysiwyg. I feel your last long paragraph may be too strong, I agree about the Monday-morning quarterbacking. Too many people are eager to criticize, too early.

Remember the Exxon Valdiz oil spill? Dear Connie Chung killing herself to imply that the crew was drunk. When it came out months later that the spill happened because the crew was overworked and sleep-deprived, the news was buried in the back pages.

I do wish to point out that if there had been a bomb in the bag, then shooting the bomber might have been the worst thing to do. What if it was on a timer and only he knew how to disable it?
