I'm sure that President Obama and his minions in the White House and Congress will be extremely displeased with this development.

It is heartening that the FBI is apparently following the evidence rather than the desires of the President. Other agency leaders in the government have not shown such courage.

Bravo FBI.

It is obviously terrorism but is there an ISIS direct involvement in it? The wife seems to be the radicalized Muslim who brought her husband on board. But, it sounds like ISIS is applauding their actions but did not plan, finance, or do anything else in this horrible event. The facts though are still up in the air as far as I can tell.

Why is it that Facebook had a special French flag filter for the Paris jihad victims, but not the San Bernardino jihad victims?

Amidst the news that the San Bernardino Massacre is now being considered a terrorist plot, we wish to show our support for those fallen, those fighting for life, and those trying to make sense of it all. Make sure to hold those close to you tightly and even in these dark times, look toward the light. #PrayforSanBernardino

Carl, as a former law enforcement officer and you seem to be following this story closely. I've been out all afternoon, but before I left about noon I was watching CNN and one of their reporters was going into the terrorist apartment. They said it was released by the FBI and the landlord had given CNN permission first to enter.

The reporter was making note of the many items spread out on the bed that apparently the FBI had looked over. What was somewhat puzzling was the CNN studio expert said he is surprised there is no fingerprint powder anywhere in the place. They scanned the camera around and it didn't appear to have been dusted. He said he was shocked, because they should want to know who else had been there. Also, he was surprised it had been released back to the landlord so quickly, he said normally they will pay the rent and keep the place as long as it's needed in case they need to return, if and when new information comes to light. What's your take on all of this? Any other experts hear anything else?

I heard on news that MSNBC or Inside Edition paid the landlord to be the first in. Then everyone else stormed in with cameras etc. Heard the SB Police and FBI were livid the 'crime scene' was compromised. If that's the case?????? Why was there not a guard posted or such - very confusing. Good news is the bad guys are dead - so no jury trial issues - but you're right - other's fingerprints.

Also heard on news from the family's attorney - news conf this afternoon. The Mother of the bad guy lived with the couple - after answering a question 'When the 6mo old was dropped off for babysitting that morning...." That's when they offered Mom lived there and apparently was questioned for 7hrs by FBI - knew nothing (Sgt Schultz)... sounds stinky...

If Obama doesn't wake up to the fact that our biggest threat is Isis and not global warming then these terrorist strikes will continue.

He is fully awake and knows that. It's a matter of wanting and leading the nation to:

a) be united and to prosper together; or

b) be divided and destroyed in another civil and/or world war.

I don't see interest in, nor leadership toward, choice a).

Presumably this holds true for the Christian Crusades, the cry of which was "Kill them all. God will know his own!" The "all" were primarily Muslims.

Is it any wonder that the jihadists refer to Westerners as "crusaders" in their social media messages? Is it possible that memories like this just don't go away?

Just sayin' (that is, not intending this point as justification...).

Gracie girl's statement, "Religion, any religion is wrong if it kills" is stated in the present tense, not 1,000 years ago!

Blaming the victims of attack instead of the attackers is pretty small.

There is no "blaming the victims" in what I wrote, no "justification" (quoting myself).

Again, "just sayin'...."
