My wish is for us to get the real story behind the blast. Unfortunately, we are being informed by authorities who suffer very low in credibility. I would trust the opinion of disinterested parties more like the Australian bomb experts and FBI. We must all demand for a more credible CSI report!!! Otherwise, the perpetrators will not only get away with the crime, they will also succeed in taking us for a ride to hell!!!

what i think is Trillanes is just doing like others..after the facts and then start making up facts.

but just like other politicians, it is now an accepted norm in the country, speculations, accusations and in the end confusions.

but to minimize or even prevent another incident like this, we all and that means the Political Leaders included, to set their differences aside and put enough resources to the dedicated Intelligence community whose only duties is to gather evidence and apply all the necessary laws to pre-empt these heinous acts and that is not impossible.

JIW,

agree. this is a free country and so, anyone can speculate including our honorable senators like trillanes. it’s perfectly alright for him to accuse gloria (the evil one) as the mastermind (all the facts point to the midget) right after the bombing incident. i believe he has the goods to pin down gloria. and i just thought maybe the good senator could have serve the nation better if he had acted fast and exposed the evil plans of gloria and her henchmen before the bombing happened. it could have save the precious lives of those poor innocent victims who’ve perished (may their souls rest in peace) and those who were maimed and will forever be traumatized by the blast.

sayang talaga. he’s so close. what do you think?

According to the “rule of law” Trillanes is an accused in custody having refused bail and therefore still an “innocent man” and the last time I heard he was elected Senator and since he is not muzzled ‘yet’ he too can speculate (or maybe he has evidence to the effect) just like all other politicians, even the President, without the police even definite in their findings is quite sure of who did it and so are the oppositions and the leftists and the bloggers. make your choice..it is still a free country…

“ramrod, i never dabble in something i know nothing much about, like intel. i leave it to the big boys who have the Ã¢â‚¬Å“expertiseÃ¢â‚¬Â and authority, and therefore, the RESPONSIBILITY, not the monday morning quarterbacks who are all-knowing, all-seeing, all- correct, but no liability for erroneous prognostications.” bencard

broadbandido,

The timing is perfect.

The timing is suspect. To happen on a Friday so that the stocks and the peso rate will not be affected since it is the last day of trading. Makes you wonder.
