Can't wait to see what Janet "The System Worked" Napolitano has to say about this.

WASHINGTON — Law enforcement officials decided not to call all airlines directly on Monday to tell them an important name had been added to the government’s “no-fly” list, even as investigators pursued the man they suspected was the Times Square bomber....
The FBI asked the TSA not to make the calls, according to an administration official who spoke on condition of anonymity in order to discuss the ongoing investigation. The FBI did let the TSA call a few domestic air carriers, which did not include Emirates.

Why? Is the MSM going to get to the bottom of this or are they going to let it ride? Great service these S-OH-Bs provide to the American public.
Nice find BLL.

Nice. Meanwhile as the Times Square incident is breaking news all over the NYC Metro region, some innocent airline booking agent is saying: "Thank you for paying cash for your one-way ticket ... have a nice flight, Mr Shahzad"
These guys are TOTALLY NUTS!
I said from early on that they seemed to be leaking information that would put the perp on guard, while concealing information that might help to catch the perp.
So, they gave him enough warning to cause the perp to try to flee the country, but they didn’t given anyone enough warning so they might help to catch him.
And it was this same FBI that managed to lose the perp in Connecticut while keeping watch on him.
Drudge had a story linked to his site for an hour or two that said that the perp was located by an army airplane, which picked up his cellphone being used from JFK. Then that story seemed to disappear. I have wondered ever since if it wasn’t army intelligence that found him rather than the FBI or the rest of the security forces.
The alternate story is that Emirates Air sent the passenger list to security just before taking off, and someone recognized the perp’s name as a passenger.
Who knows? These people will lie and cover up any time their political bosses find it convenient. Or at least most of them will.
Napolitano already said that Shahzed was on the Terrorist Watch List. The truth simply is not in her. From Day 1.
Leaks, leaks everywhere just like neglected plumbing.
Leaks, leaks everywhere just like neglected plumbing.
The FBI is more screwed up than a Laurel and Hardy comedy.
since Emirates was one of the airlines they DIDN'T want notified, what other ones? The ones that fly or connect to the middle east?
Some people MUST be made to answer some questions...
the bleeding heart media are floating his troubles - house foreclosed could make him desperate...blah blah.
He has traveled back and forth from Pakistan numerous times - and had the cash to buy the van and and an expensive one way ticket outta country.
He comes from wealthy family and he was put on a watch list in 1999 when he brought $80,000 in cash to America.
Poor boy. right. More like he stopped paying the mortgage and let the house go because he didn't figure he'd be needing it much longer - saved up the mortgage money.
Yet they felt free to blame Emirates Airline for not checking the no fly list.
Nothing can be done until he and the like-thinkers throughout government and the country at large are gone.
That may never happen.
The way I see much of what has happened in the last year or so is there are different factions within the govt, and some who Obama thinks work for him don’t really. Someone (actually many someones), and not Obama, wants him to fail. I don’t buy that Obama himself wanted him to get away. If that were so, Holder would not have had a presser in the middle of the night.
