The first line of the text says it all (From what is on the tube...). You can't
rely on the first word from the tube, obviously. It turns out that the "ties"
are apparently just wishful thinking except in one case, and that one's somewhat
tenuous. We'll get a better story tomorrow.

I saw the arrest of three suspects on a train leaving Boston. Where did
you hear that they had 'clear ties' to Bin Laden, or that actual arrests
we're made in Florida? It was stated that perhaps two homes were rented
by two pilot trainees from the Middle East, and they had vacated the
residence before the weekend.

I hope you're correct that they may have evidence of a connection to the
suspects - but I haven't heard anything - at least on CNN and MSNB yet.
Where did you hear this?
