Sort of. Everyone all the way down the chain said "from what I know right now" or "based on the information I have" and followed it up with something like "but there's still an investigation..."



Obama, in his first statement about the attacks to the media, the day after it happened:

No acts of terror will ever shake the resolve of this great nation, alter that character, or eclipse the light of the values that we stand for. Today we mourn four more Americans who represent the very best of the United States of America. We will not waver in our commitment to see that justice is done for this terrible act. And make no mistake, justice will be done.
I am not faulting the Administration for their poor reporting, as the event was just unfolding. Obama intentionally did not state that the attack was a terrorist act, and he handled Boston the same way. Not an issue for me. Eventually, when more facts came out, it was revealed for what it is.

The fact is that they got it wrong initially, and then politics came into play. Politics never should have been injected into the mess to begin with. Regardless of political affiliation, there are times to set aside political differences and unite against common enemies - this is one of them. A foreign enemy does not care about your political position.
