The FBI is scurrying around in a massive CYA effort to whitewash its incompetence in failing to stop the attackers. They had eyes on this guy in 2011 and gave him a free pass after a cursory look. They claim now that they found nothing incriminating. They didn’t look very hard. A Chechen with ties to a radical mosque, who is posting links to a radical Australian cleric, and has a Youtube page full of radical songs. This smacks of the incompetence in the Fort Hood bomber, who was also in contact with a radical cleric. I suspect that the FBI is under orders from Holder not to act on anything other than explicit chatter about terrorist activities and told that they cannot take into consideration a person’s religious activities (unless of course the person is Christian) even if they are dabbling in radical islamic sites. Much more information about this on Daily Mail in the UK, although the link to this article seems to be disrupted.
“FBI ‘investigating possibility that the government’s terror-trackers knew about the bombers before the blasts’
Any inquiry into the marathon bombing will look into whether agents could have taken action to prevent the bombing that killed 3 and wounded 173 others.”
What about the ‘rights’ of a family to go to an American event in an American city and be safe from a hateful cold-blooded attack by a person the FBI had been warned about by a foreign government?
I can fully understand how the administration missed these terrorists. They were busy at the time with more pressing concerns like raiding Gibson Guitar because they were using the ‘wrong’ kind of wood on their fret boards. Everyone knows fret boards made of politically incorrect wood pose a real threat to the public.
This makes the Jamie Gorlick wall look like a picket fence
