the target? you pointed out in our 8:00 hour that they re not mutually exclusive. right. that perhaps previously they had extra devices that they had planned to utilize to set off in the boston area, if, in fact, these two suspects are guilty, but in sort of a last minute, in the chaos of it all, they needed to get out of town, they were like, well, we ll go to new york. right, exactly. so, that s consistent with what the boston police clearly felt, which is, why are they still here? that s the question i was asked and justifies the shutdown. that was i think very scary for them, and so they might have been planning something else. the fact that they carjacked the car, asked for his atm, wanted to get the money and seemed not to have an exit strategy suggests that they were going to do more here, and who knows what their long-term plan was? they then panic because they re identified, they go on this spree, and the fact that they wanted to get down to new york might be just some w
town, they were like, well, we ll go to new york. so that s consistent with what the boston police clearly felt, which was why are they still here? that s the question i was asked and justifies the shut down. that was very scary for them. the fact that they carjacked the car, asked for his atm, wanted to get the money and seemed not to have an exit strategy suggest that they were going to do more here and who knows what their long term plan was. they, then, panicked. they go on this spree and the fact that they wanted to get down to new york might be just some, you know, wild escape plan that they thought could work. they clearly had more weaponry. and that s what, you know, the fact that they were trying to get on a road to new york must be scary to new york. nick, we re learning new details about the mother being placed on the cia watch list. what do you know about that? and, also, are the russians cooperating with u.s. officials? the first point you make, we don t know much
greta: a tremendous amount of training and surveillance cameras but you that is tremendously expensive. times square is sort of an obvious target but you cities like milwaukee, denver, houston just as vulnerable and don t have the money or o the training. and don t have the size of the police department. new york is fortunate. five counties in one city so we end up with 35,000, 40,000 police officers. so you can put aside a thousand, 2,000, three thousand and train them specifically in detecting terrorism. most cities don t have that flexibility. that is quite true. but then again, new york city is along with washington, d.c. probably right at the top it of the list all the time whenever you arrest these guys. it is always an interest in new york or washington. greta: these guys were peculiar. they bombed in boston. they apparently had no exit strategy. basically hung around the neighborhood until they got

likely they were two young guys hell bent on death and destruction, sick, evil, but not part of broader network. i tempt to concur with the fact west know. we haven t been able to unravel the chech connection. we know his brother s car was still in the shop on wednesday. we have to assume they weren t guided too well on the second day move. the exit. so there was no sense of a successful exit strategy. so apart from being not the brightest bulbs in the lot one guy did forget that surveillance cameras existed in america. with his cap on backwards. neil: were they cocky? could be. neil: patrick, thank you very, very much. when we come back we ll be taking you to texas, the scene
