I'd file a suit against the people who libelous comments, such as asserting that he factually was the bomber, and ask reddit to disclose such information about the posters as they possess as part of disclosure.

The internet does not give you the right to spread untrue statements about people which you were negligent in discovering the truth of before repeating - such as that they committed a specific act of terrorism.

Too bad Reddit will surely be too busy not collecting such information just in case the evil government happens to ask for it, eh? You can never be too cautious about that government, you know.

Funny how this stops being true as soon as it involves people you don't like. (Not accusing you personally. Just tired of "it's okay if they're politicians on the other side!")
