I know somebody here in my city, who worked in audio editing for Cartoon Network, and apparently what he heard was that the FBI demanded somebody fall on their sword.

Why would the FBI have that power?

[selimthegrim]

The point was the FBI combined with the rather inflexible security people in Boston were probably threatening repercussions to Cartoon Network along the lines of their broadcast license

Excuse me? Cartoon Network is a cable channel, it doesn't have a broadcast license.

[selimthegrim]

I didn’t ask for specifics but the government clearly wasn’t playing.

[astura]

Your "friend" is just making shit up to sound important. Learn to have some critical thinking skills.

[mulmen]

What repercussions though? That sounds like a threat to abuse power.

[yesco]

That's because it was.
