I guess the NSA and the rest of the US intelligence agencies are too busy reading everyone's e-mails, to pay attention to those who do present a threat.

Just remember that the US was warned several times by Russia about the Boston bombers, but they were too busy to follow up...

Maybe they should be more concerned with al shabab instead of shish ka bob. Or the new al queda group al baclava.

There was a picture of a young, non-Arabic, hijab-wearing white woman with an English name (I don’t know whether she is a British or American convert) who is thought to be the woman reported as participating in the Kenya attack.

I do not like Peter King.
I do not trust Peter King.
To me, he is one step to the right of upChuck Schumer and just as much of a publicity hound.
Anything King says, I would have to verify with at least 2 sources and then I would still be skeptical.

That is exactly why they were recruited. They know the language, they know the lay of the land, they are the insiders crucial to an attack.
