Chatter and commentary around the Interwebs on the Times Square bombing case:

  • Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) and Rep. Peter King (R-NY): We shouldn't have Mirandized him!
  • James Joyner (quoting others): Um, idiots, he's an American citizen.
  • Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-Conn.): So strip him of his citizenship!
  • Washington Post: Case shows limits of video surveillance.
  • Christian Science Monitor: Blame Craigslist!
  • Daily Caller: Still waiting on lefty blogs, Mayor Bloomberg to walk back attempts to link the attempted bombing to the Tea Parties.
  • Slate (via Twitter): It's a bad day to be named Faisal Shahzad.
  • James Fallows: If the TSA were running New York.
