I'm not really comfortable with this national security exemption either, but it does make a certain amount of sense. It's important to know asap whether there are more unexploded devices out there, or other bombers still to be captured. As I understand it, the exemption lasts for a max of 48 hours and then the suspect must be mirandized.
Surely you can understand that a standalone, attention-grabbing event like the Boston bombing—particularly because it comes in a place and at an event where it's not expected/common—will get more coverage than an ongoing, generalized issue like "child mortality." Same with rocket attacks in the middle east, etc. When they happen on a routine basis, people get desensitized to it, and it takes a bigger calamity to get it back on the front page.

Not sure exactly... there's a pond behind me with a retaining wall that's a few feet higher up than that barn. Looks like the wall broke down over time and flooded the lower area.
