re: “And yet many wonder if those in power really presented all the information in an effort to do everything they could to catch the terrorists.”

Yes, and someone else on Freepers asked a great question earlier today - How is it that the FBI did not KNOW who either of these bombers were and asked the public for any information as to who these people were, when they admitted to questioning the older brother back in 2009 (or was it 2011)? Also, the mother of these two terrorists claims the FBI were always telling her that they knew the older one was into Muslim extremism and that he was a threat?

The FBI asked the public to help ID them from the photos released to us, how is it that they couldn’t ID at least the older brother?

It's worth noting that the older brother was very difficult to identify from the photos that were released, mainly because his face was shaded by the visor of his cap and he seemed to be wearing sunglasses in the photos I saw. The younger brother wore his cap backwards and had no sunglasses.

This is all speculation on my part, but I suspect someone identified the younger brother from the photo and then the FBI went back and "put two and two together" to identify the older brother from their own records.
