It is becoming clear that the FBI should have known about the Boston Bombers. Speaking of not knowing, FoxNew reports the FBI is scurrying around trying to figure out what is coming next. Why don't they already know?

<<<<  He was in the FBI data base,  just taking up data space and little more,  apparently.  He travel to Russia and remained in that country for several months before returning home.  Intelligence was defeated in tracking him because he changed his name.  Who would have thought that our once robust intel system could be defeated with such a mundane task as changing one's name?  And Obama may be the only man in America who does not know that jihad Islam is at war with our country.  Anyone feel more protected because Obama  is in charge??  

In a story broken by non-American press, Reuters, gives us this:    tThe name of one of the Boston Marathon bombing suspects, Tamerlan Tsarnaev, was listed on the U.S. government’s highly classified central database of people it views as potential terrorists. But the list is so vast that this did not mean authorities automatically kept close tabs on him, sources close to the bombing investigation said on Tuesday.  

Tsarnaev, 26, was killed in a police shootout early Friday, while his younger brother Dzhokhar, 19, was captured later that day. Prosecutors say the brothers, ethnic Chechens who had been living in the United States for more than a decade, planted two bombs that exploded near the finish line of the marathon on April 15, killing three people and wounding more than 200.
The sources said Tamerlan Tsarnaev’s details were entered into TIDE, a database maintained by the National Counterterrorism Center, because the FBI spoke to him in 2011 while investigating a Russian tip-off that he had become a follower of radical Islamists.
