Why is this Relevant?

This has got to be one of the most useless stories I've ever read. It has pictures (with really stupid and pointless captions) of the alleged Times Square bomber, Faisal Shahzad's, Connecticut home. What is the audience supposed to learn from these pictures? Yes, he lived a "normal" American suburban lifestyle. Yes, he ended up allegedly trying to blow up a van in Times Square. Aren't terrorists supposed to blend in so that they don't draw attention to themselves? What good does showing Shahzad's child's room do? How is that supposed to help Americans understand what happened? Why don't we focus on the political implications and the reasons why this happens?
