but may have information that can help us figure out sort of what happened and how do we stop it from happening again. i would be surprised if this wasn t the story at this stage. dzhokhar tsarnaev s three friends from umass dartmouth, they re facing some pretty serious charges including obstruction of justice, lying to federal investigators. do you think this is a way of putting pressure on them to come up with more information, to share more information? or are these charges to be taken at face value? i think it s both. at this stage we probably don t know, you know, for example dzhokhar has a roommate which you sort of wonder why he isn t in the picture. he s not one of the three indicted. it is a message the indictment is a message to the world, to all of their friends, to these boys surrounding dzhokhar if you know anything tell us, in particular about events leading up to the attack. but also, you know, this is where people who have been in law enforcement sort of get a lit
