Uh what?
The smart thing to do would have been to immediately leave the country and never look back.
Why would any suspicion be drawn to 2 people who were legally in the US, with no prior criminal history, who werent even considered suspects to start?
When those 2 track kids were being arrested, these guys could have walked into any police station in America and no one would have even blinked.
They had no heat and this is not the sort of crime that authorities were just going to raise their hands up after a few days and go "Well we give up."
Every second that passed was a second closer to them being caught. Any other belief on their part was absolute delusion.
These guys could have gotten out of the country but for their own stupidity. How scary is that.
I guess they could have tried to get teaching jobs at Columbia and blend in with the other bombers.
FYI, I heard a FBI Counter Terrorism guy on WBBM this morning saying just what i typed above. Since they were in no way a suspect before the pictures came out, unless they were able to get gone in the first 5 minutes, the smart thing was to go back to life as they knew it, not raising any suspicions. Not something I pulled outta my ass.
