[cnn-photo-caption image=http://i2.cdn.turner.com/cnn/2009/images/01/02/liveblogfinal.copy.jpg]
Tonight on 360°, breaking developments in the Times Square bomb threat. Investigators are looking at the possibility this was not the work of a lone wolf. Plus, we're keeping BP honest over the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. We also have Gary Tuchman's investigation on the priest who was convicted of being a child molester. Why did Cardinal Ratzinger, who is now the Pope, hesitate in defrocking him?

That Dog was trying to catch the thunder? LOL, not buying it either. My dog refuses to go out into rain! LOL
Dear Anderson,
I think this Pope should resign along with the top management of the church...because there'll be a forever drip-drip of letter's concerning the signature of this Pope from the past protecting paedophiles. It doesn't matter how long ago it was, it was still children now adults who had childhoods stolen & were horribly violated. Irish TV showed a film recently of another scandal that not only the present Pope knew about, but his predecessor knew all about as well. Is it any wonder the world is suffering with so many disaster's today? When the church is corrupt within it's walls!.
Thank you very much Tom Foreman and CNN for the repts on flooding in TN and Southeast.
In the case in Gary Tuchman's rept the Vatican should've taken action.
No that looks real, probably they had a hell of a time getting their dog back.
Good night everyone.
It was real lightening, the timing b/t it and the thunder was natural. I buy it!
Anderson, keep them honest and get to the bottom of really how much oil is out there. We have a right to know the actual potential of this disaster.
Good show tonight,, I pray that they will soon find a solution to stop
this oil from spilling.
Good night AC360 team and fellow bloggers.
@Mike, formerly from Syracuse - I agree! In fact, child molestation should have much stronger sentence. It is scary when we look up our area code in the registry and find that they are all around us! And some cases we can see the face, know they are in the area code, but no address. Very scary.
great to have you back, Anderson! 🙂
great, great show tonight!
have a wonderful and safe night to you all.
Good Night Everyone! "It is a doggie, dog world! " Sleep tight!
Great show, Thanks!
Good night Anderson and Gary, and bloggers Emily and Mike.
Conan belongs on a channel with a younger demographic anyway.
Conan O'Brien is my favorite host talk show most important man!

Day of the shot with dog ran and fetch and hit by lighting, LOL!!! So funny shot! Awesome! Thanks Anderson!!!!!!! HUGS! 🙂 OUCH!
Thanks for coming in, for join us tonight! 🙂

Good night!
Thank you and good night Anderson & Team 360. Another really good show tonight.
Good night all, wishing you a safe and pleasant day tomorrow.
@Megan, my prayers are also with the people in TN and all of the other areas affected by the floods. There alsmost seems too much going on to keep up with.
Love the Conan interview!
The shot: Amazing! Anderson & Tom, you think it was fixed? really?
That poor dog!. Good night Anderson and Tom! Good night everyone! Sweet dreams! I am so glad that Anderson is back.
If this former priest abuses in the future, is the government to blame!
Dear Anderson,
I think this Pope should resign along with the top management of the curch...because there'll be a forever drip-drip of letter's concerning the signature of this Pope on letters protecting paedophiles. It doesn't matter how long ago it was, it was still children now adults who had childhoods stolen & were horribly violated. Irish TV showed a film recently of another scandal that not only the present Pope knew about but his predecessor knew all about as well. Is it any wonder the world is suffering with so many disaster's today/ When the church is corrupt within it's walls!.
@charlie,
The Pope is the Head of The Vatican! All of Vatican City. He is in charge of Vatican City, not just the Vatican (place), but the Country, and The Roman Catholic Church, etc. You get the idea?
I wonder if Cardinal Ratzinger's power was because he had all the goods on the priests.
Gary Tuchman, Great reporting! Hope you get that interview.
Conan..keeping it honest!
i sure hope all the late-night guys don't end up taking a lot of the shuffle-and-change personally - mostly business and demographics going on there ...
Good night everybody. 🙂
Pedophiles can't be trusted to be released. It should be a life sentence.
@ Starr, formerly known as vincent--I agree. Go for it Gary! lol
@Kelly, I don't know if there is a way to 'fire' the Pope. I think he would have to resign.
I'm not sure why Conan's mad at Leno rather than NBC execs. They are the ones who made all these decisions, not Leno. Leno got demoted, he's a victim too. Sad Conan doesn't see that
Gated communities and closed doors are no obstacle to Gary! A great job by a great journalist!
This story is making my stomach turn!
How sick is this?!!
I feel as outraged as those women!
This is a great report by Gary Tuchman. I've been looking forward to seeing this one.
Shame on him indeed, Anderson. Thanks for saying that on-air!
Is it "a long time ago" for the victims? I don't believe time heals all sins...
Anderson,
I saw you on 60 Minutes last night–along with Conan O'Brien. Your chef report was great.
Hi Anderson its good to have you back!!!Life seem to be getting harder in all areas. Because the attacks are coming at us from all directions. Oil,floods,booms and banks.
They let a registered sex offender in a gated community?!
Michael,
I think priest would have gone to jail, never have committed yet, There are going to investigation right now.
Are children members of the universal church? So if children are members and the leaders make decisions for the good of the whole church, why can't they make decisions to protect children?
This goes back to ancient beliefs in patriarchal societies like the Catholic church that women and children are property.
All pedophiles belong on an island together.
What that and many other priests have done and what Pope has NOT done have altogether really lowered my opinion of church as an institution and the entire christianity system. I'd wager I'm not the only one who feels so.
What can the church do to the Pope to investigate this or dethrone him?
