This seems like it might be something. Though to people like David Sirota it’d no doubt be kind of a disappointment. Unless the Saudi national was one of them “White Arabs.” Named something like Walid Zimmerman.
Editors’ UPDATES:
Sources tell TheBlaze that the Saudi national is set to be deported on “security and related grounds.” His visa also has been revoked. Below is some of the information that has been communicated to us:
1. One source at the FBI and another at the Saudi Embassy referred to the student as connected to an important Saudi family.
2. An “event” was created on this guy three days ago. An event is a file. The file contains his deportation record and the reason he is being deported. According to ICE the reason is under section 212 3B — “Security and related grounds” – “Terrorist activities”
3. His visa has been revoked.
4. The FBI said a file was started “just in case he was found to be connected to the crime,” however, the file shows he was scheduled to be deported. This was not a precaution, it was in “orders.”
5. One source said they believe a “voluntary” departure has been signed — that means the Saudi Student could be out of the country as early as today.
6. The file was immediately classified. We believe the deportation order will be classified as well — requiring a FOIA to get it.
7. The story was going to be “he wanted to go home,” however he was actually being deported.
8. Our source said the FBI believes the Saudi student is tied to 2 to 3 more people.
9. Our source said this “looks like they were trying to make this a ‘lone wolf’ crime so, the Saudi government would be spared embarrassment and the U.S. would avoid explaining how a terror cell was active when we had AQ on the run.”
In addition, there are whistleblower reports of an unscheduled “walk-by” meeting that took place lase evening the White House.
Interestingly, what’s covered here seems to comport with the sudden shift in interest within law enforcement for a single actor — a “lone wolf.”
Perhaps ObamaCo will be able to find one who made a trailer of for a movie and posted it to youtube. For the consistency.
I’m not ready to jump to any conclsions here, but let me just say that I find this a bit fishy. But then, maybe it’s routine in some governmental security kind of way. More as I learn of it.
Developing.

update from Beck (h/t Pablo):
UPDATE 10:50am ET: Joel Cheatwood, President & Chief Creative Officer for TheBlaze, told Glenn on the radio show: “Just got a note from one of our investigative reporters that she has been told that there is now discussion that they may not allow this man to be deported.”
weird
on the one hand, saudi royal perverts do not add value
on the other hand, food stamp fascists and their sleazy FBI fucktoys do not add a great deal of value either
Clinton says “Give up da funk”
“Napolitano: 2 Men of Interest in Boston Bomb Video”
– Hey, if Janet says it, that’s good as gold.
– Does it strike you that this “event” seems to be evolving in a way similar to Benghazi?
“Shit. They’re on to us! Cheeze it!”
Is his last name Bin Ghazi?
Jinx!
Apparently, those two guys aren’t very happy about being persons of interest. It seems they’re not running, hiding or shutting up either.
Does anyone sense a cover up?
Cover ups require competence, not something I normally associate with these clowns.
If I were a foreign national, innocent or otherwise, caught up in some sort of event like this I’d sure as Hell be trying to get back to my country of citizenship ASAP.
So I’m on the fence with this guy, but if the Feds want to avoid giving fuel to any budding trutherism out there they damn well better put the brakes on his departure until they know more about the bombing.
Tough luck for him if he’s innocent, but he’s only got his countrymen to blame.
Not stamping “classified” on everything would help too.
Cover ups require competence, not something I normally associate with these clowns.
Or a willing media. See Benghazi. No competence there, yet here we are.
I would be willing to wager a 6 pack that the saudi kid that wants to go home is the person running from the scene in the stills spliced together half way down the page on the link below. I recall statements about the first suspect being tackled while quickly trying to leave the scene. Not an unreasonable reaction. Keep him here while trying to connect the dots even though the search of his apartment came up empty.

If he is capable of realizing that, he may be safer here than back home.
“If he is capable of realizing that, he may be safer here than back home.”
Good point. I hadn’t considered the waiting arms of Saudi Intelligence.
I just keep recalling what utter jackasses some folks on the left were, claiming that Saudis being flown out of the country were bin Laden’s family, and possibly accomplices to the US government conspiracy to get us up in arms by concocting a bogus terrorist attach on ourselves.
Maybe I’m remembering that wrong, though.
You aren’t. It was all part of piece with the Jooos and Bush being in on 9/11 and pinning it on the Arabs.
I think the Trilateral Commission and Skull and Bones had something to do with it, too. Or maybe just the Masons.
bin Ladins were flown out of the country. I don’t know that that means anything more than that America was not a comfortable place to be a bin Ladin after 9/11. There’s about a trillion of ’em.
Sure, if you count the particles scattered in the form of fish poop all over the bottom of the Indian Ocean.
Beck’s sources are saying that the Saudi kid is from a hugely influential family and that they (the Oministration?) were going to slip him out as a favor to the Big Saudi $$$.
Bastards.
So they’re saying he’s not a person of interest and yet also to be deported because of security reasons. Makes no sense.
Napalitano confronted (update to the Blaze post):
Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano had a fiery exchange with Rep. Jeff Duncan during a House hearing Thursday morning over reports that Al Alharbi is being considered for deportation.
Napolitano refused to entertain a question regarding if it would be “negligence” to deport someone who just days ago was a person of interest.
“I’m not going to answer that question,” she shot back after being pressed by Duncan and denying any knowledge of such a plan. “That question is so full with misstatements and misapprehensions that it is not worthy of an answer.”
“That question is so full with misstatements and misapprehensions that it is not worthy of an answer.”
– Which part Janet, you duplicitous crap-weasel.
– They ought to tie her and Holder together at the ankles, and drape them over a cable face to face. Eventually they’d tear each others eyes out.
Professor Eloquence never fails to deliver:
Don’t say “there is a piece of Boston in me” when orating about a bombing in Boston that put shrapnel in many victims
Obama at the memorial today:
“Boston is your hometown but we claim it a little bit too,” he said, referring to his days as a student at Harvard Law School. “I know this because there is a piece of Boston in me.”
Oy vey.
Fire the teleprompter.
Nitpicked like the good righteous thinking fault-finding left-of-cemter, but not, y’know, crazy left of center, but I guess I’ll vote for him anyways (twice?) moderate Democrat leaner Althouse is.
Nitpicked like the good righteous thinking fault-finding left-of-center…
Heh. Every time I see these “regretful” Obama voters criticizing him or bitching and moaning about his actions I can’t help automatically thinking to myself “And you’re the idiot who voted for him”.
And in the good Prof’s case, it’s every time she votes for him, he lets her down.
Barry’s a bad boyfriend, but Ann just can’t quit him.
Blue track suit and white cap look all wrong and “white guy” is not carrying a heavy back pack.
Now the two tall guys dressed similar with the large backpacks, they look suspicious.
You don’t need to cover up if nobody is looking.
Mentions Harvard, doesn’t mention “undocumented probationary citizen” Auntie Zeituni, who at last report was still living in public housing in Southie, collecting disability.
My mistake. Auntie Z has been given “political asylum” now.
His uncle, the DUI guy, is still here, as well?
According to Wikipedia, Uncle Omar has been here illegally since 1989, despite two deportation orders. He’s going to get another “hearing” next December.
Well, there is no need to rush to justice, after all.
can you get a saudi national hot dog in mecca?
Quite right. Let’s give him another 24 years to make his case, just to be certain.
FBI presser at 5:00 Eastern. Murmurs of them calling out a “young white man” for the bombings.
If so, Sirota will squee in delight!
– Not if he’s a white Muslim.
Probably not. But, if he’s just a Muslim convert? Squee?
almost looks like a Harris and Klebold.
Images released by FBI.
I thought that too, bgbear.
Occupidiots? Up-twinkles or Down-twinkles?
