Midknight Review -- new and revised: Why the FBI deserves an "F" as the watch dog against in-country terrorism

FBI failings documented by the Boston media.

Special anti-terrorism intelligence units in Massachusetts were not even alerted that FBI agents had investigated Tamerlan Tsarnaev’s possible terror ties in 2011, the Boston Globe reports.

The Boston Regional Intelligence Center and the Commonwealth Fusion Center in Maynard, where information about potential security threats are analyzed, were both unaware that the FBI had interviewed Tsarnaev during its three month investigation triggered by warnings from the Russian government about his radical Islamic ties.

From the Boston Globe, we also learn that the Boston Police Department was never advised of the FBI’s investigation of the Tsarnaeu brothers.

From TheGuardian.co.uk. we learn

“The homeland security secretary, Janet Napolitano, acknowledged on Tuesday that the return of 26-year-old Tamerlan Tsarnaev into the US in 2012 was not flagged. "The system pinged when he was leaving the United States. By the time he returned all investigations had been closed," Napolitano said at a Senate hearing.”

Four "flags" that were not posted by the FBI

She went on to comment that the brothers were investigated without turning up any red flags, when, at a time, the older brother had a web site that featured radical jihadist ideas. She was defending the FBI for a job well done, but many of us heard her admitting the investigative failings of that intelligence body. The FBI did not know when the older brother came back from

Russia

. It did not red flag his seven month stay in that country. It was not aware of his radical website and, it did not know of his expulsion from a local mosque in January of this year, because of a radicalized rant within that meeting hall.

FBI not aware of the law and caused the end to its own interrogations.

From Fox News, we learn that the FBI “interrogations” of the younger brother were cut short, in part, because the . . . . . ah . . . . . FBI signed a criminal complaint, and in so doing, set in motion the demand for the administration of the Miranda Rights and the end to its opportunity to question without a lawyer present. I am saying that, as it turns out, if the FBI had not sign a criminal complaint, there would have been no demand to end the interrogations.

The Stated Nonsense from the Left now includes these Progressive goals:

July 2, 2008, Obama had this to say: "We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."

MICHELLE OBAMA: "Barack knows that we are going to have to make sacrifices; we are going to have to change our conversation; we're going to have to change our traditions, our history; we're going to have to move into a different place as a nation."

“ . . . . . . they have become a generation of activists possessed with that most American of ideas – that people who love their country can change it.” -- Obama the Radical

On September 30, Van Jones told MSNBC "I think everybody should hold onto your seats. October is going to be the turning point when it comes to the progressive fight back."
