Sen. Grassley floats Glenn Beck's Boston bombing conspiracy theory in the middle of Senate hearing
You've gotta be shitting me:
Chuck Grassley Asks If Innocent Boston Marathon Bystander Was On Terrorist Watch List
WASHINGTON -- A Saudi national briefly reported last week to be a person of interest in the Boston bombings was quickly cleared as an innocent bystander, but that didn't stop Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) on Tuesday from questioning whether the man was on a terrorist watch list.

Napolitano said the man wasn't on a watch list before coming to the United States and isn't now, although he was very briefly added last week while he was being questioned.
"He was not on a watch list," she said of his entrance to the country. "What happened is this student was ... in the wrong place at the wrong time. He was never a subject, he was never even really a person of interest."
Conservative commentators and websites have insisted that the man may have had something to do with the bombings -- regardless of law enforcement saying he was simply an innocent bystander -- and have also reported that he is being be deported. Commentator Glenn Beck said on Monday that the Saudi man was set to be deported for "terrorist activities." The website Townhall.com ran a story on Monday with the headline "Saudi National Questioned in Boston Attack was on Terror Watch List," but it appears to have been removed from the site. Napolitano refuted those claims, and there are no indications that the Saudi student will be removed from the country.
