FBI Hunts Terror 'Sleeper Cell' Linked to Tsarnaev Brothers

I think he would have
had to put it into his mouth
.....as I don't think he would just point and open his mouth. Doesn't mean he wont be able to speak ever again anyways. Just for the time being.

I thought he was shot in the neck, not from within the mouth.
 
Same deal with reporters taking stories off scanners and not getting any validation. Other than a nod that an event is ongoing. Or Former Agent so and so who no longer is working with them.

Kinda remind me of CNN's reporting of Hurricane Katrina when they reported cannibalism.


Here’s a transcript of part of the show, a “South Park Evening News” broadcast where the journalists ridiculously hype the situation:

Tom the anchorman: “Peril, crisis and fear tonight as what appears to be a massive flood has overtaken the town of Beaverton, Colorado, home of the world’s largest beaver dam. Earlier today, a break in the beaver dam which protected the town broke open, trapping people in their houses and destroying their lives.”

Mitch, the reporter: “Tom, I’m currently ten miles outside of Beaverton, unable to get inside the town proper. We do not have any reports of fatalities yet, but we believe that the death toll may be in the hundreds of millions. Beaverton has only a population of about 8,000, Tom, so this would be quite devastating.”

Tom: “Any word on how the survivors in the town are doing, Mitch?”

Mitch: “We’re not sure what’s exactly is going on inside the town of Beaverton, Tom, but we’re reporting that there’s looting, raping and, yes, even acts of cannibalism.”

Tom: “My God, you’ve actually seen people looting, raping and eating each other?!”

Mitch: “No, no we’ve haven’t actually seen it, Tom. We’re just reporting it.”

You are ignoring how many were horribly injured.

Yeah...doesn't add much to your point. Small numbers regardless, low probability event. If this is our "worst nightmare" then we don't have it too bad.

If statistically insignificant events like this were to continue, we'd have it bad. Our economy would go to its knees. That's the real underlying fear our leader have, in my opinion. Well, that, and covering their own asses.

Yes, but only so far as we.allow it to fall.
 

Oh noes, never in the history of the US have there been bomb scares!

Tell you what "prof", instead of cherry picking some stories here or there; why don't you pull out the full statistical breakdown and we can see how many bomb threats/year and how the jumps or declines relate to external events? No? You just want to throw out some instances of bomb scares and pretend that it is only now that we encounter them on such grandiose levels? Thought so.

Learn math, come back.
 
gosh, it's hit my own school district, this morning

At approximately 8:45 p.m. staff at D*** V***** High School received a vague and anonymous phone call that there was a bomb on campus. Immediately all students and staff were evacuated from the buildings and police notified. Police arrived on the scene shortly thereafter and are conducting a search of the building. School officials are waiting for police to give the all clear for students and staff to reenter the school.

i'm not going to give you the link because the prof really doesn't need you to know where he works

the point---why are so many of our neighbors and friends these days acting so... well, terrorized?

ie, if it's not your worst nitemare, it's certainly his
 
Well, this is what Napolitano has to say today.

Napolitano: DHS knew of Boston bomber Russia trip.....

ac4024fb8845c80d2f0f6a7067002aeb.jpg


WASHINGTON (AP) — Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano said Tuesday that her agency knew of alleged Boston bomber Tamerlan Tsarnaev's trip to Russia last year even though his name was misspelled on a travel document. A key lawmaker had said that the misspelling caused the FBI to miss the trip.

Napolitano's disclosure came as news to Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., who told the secretary that it contradicted what he'd been told by the FBI.

"They told me that they had no knowledge of him leaving or coming back so I would like to talk to you more about this case," Graham told Napolitano as she testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee on sweeping immigration legislation.

Napolitano said that even though Tsarnaev's name was misspelled, redundancies in the system allowed his departure to be captured by U.S. authorities in January 2012. But she said that by the time he came back six months later, an FBI alert on him had expired and so his re-entry was not noted.

"The system pinged when he was leaving the United States. By the time he returned all investigations had been closed," Napolitano said.

The Russia trip is now seen as potentially important to determining how and when Tamerlan Tsarnaev, the older Boston bomber who died in a firefight with police, apparently became radicalized, and whether he had ties to others.

Well according to CNN and MSNBC the two brothers acted alone. How do they know this you may ask. Because a freaking terrorist told the FBI so. Must be true. How stupid do they think we are?

Geez, DHS, FBI, DOJ all dropping the ball. Think Obama is getting that Chinese Wall built around him in time?
I was accused of hyper-partisanship for just mentioning this mess last week.

They have been talking about how the FBI dropped the ball over quite a few news sources. Now the pundits from both side will get in their mix just to help confuse things some more. Should have hear the them going at each other on Fox News Sunday with Wallace's Show. Christol and Harmon. That broad is straight up goofy. Christol dinger her good. But she just kept talking anyways.

It's like they mentioned......seems most on the left don't stop to hear one so they keep going on with what they are saying.
