Philip Mudd, former counterterror expert for the CIA and the FBI

"I would charge these guys as murders not terrorists," Mudd said of the suspects in the attack on the Boston Marathon.
--
"What I fear though is that people too quickly categorize this as terrorism," Mudd added. "This looks more to me like Columbine than it does like Al Qaeda."
--
"Two kids who radicalized between themselves in a closed circle and go out and commit murder," Mudd observed. "I would charge these guys as murderers, not terrorists."

“Thankfully, the Boston Bombers did not have a body count as high as Adam Lanza or the Columbine killers.”
Not for lack of trying.
Actually, like these recent Muslim bombers, Walker Lindh and Adam Gadahn did it in the name of Islamic Jihad. There’s no comparison whatsoever to the Columbine killers who were simply mental nutcase psychopaths acting out their violent video game fantasies against their school mates who avoided them like the plague.
No, we just need to be on guard against crazy people along with organizations and governments run by them.
Correct. On all points.
Former. Whatever the liberals say believe the opposite.
The murderers from Columbine were not Chechen, nor were they muslims. They were mentally disturbed. These two were muslim extremists who wanted to kill as many people as possible for allah.
I can’t stand these liberal loons. They don’t care how many of us die as long as it’s not them.
Don’t ever underestimate the pathology of the kid next door who might turn out to be a complete mutant, Jim.
I can bet that he gets a significant portion of his paycheck from people who want to hear this point of view
And you cannot compare the jihadist bombers to the mentally disturbed wacko Lanza, either.
In this case it’s jihad for Allah!
“I can’t define pornography but I know it when I see it. Same with terrorism.:
We need to widen our definition or “terrorism” and accept that all mass acts of violence against Americans is an act of terrorism and the perpetrators are terrorists.
The terrorist label needs to be attached to all the sick POS who have conducted mass shootings in our schools, malls, movie houses or any public or even private space.
If we do proclaim that the Boston Bombers are worse than the mass shooters, we are elevating the status of the mass shooter.
Unfortunately, the most we can do is execute them.
Probably “former” because of incompetence. Became a paid consultant or university professor or other similar profession where competence is not a requirement.
And I also know I’m not the only Freeper who took one look at several of the younger/surviving Boston bomber’s Facebook or Twitter photos and concluded that the kid is probably a latent (if not open) homosexual. You can go back to the two D.C. snipers and see signs of the same pathology at work there, too.
I disagree. These weren’t a couple of kids that were bullied at school or were nerds, outcasts (ie: Columbine). The eldest one went to Russia, worked with Al Quaida terror groups for 6mos, posted violent video’s on his facebook, had violent rantings at his Mosque, etc. Then they make bombs to blow up, dismember, main, kill people at a large sporting event due to Islam, kill the infidels.
This was a terrorist action.
I recall Obama making excuses for Islamic terrorism, he said something to the fact, they were uneducated, poor, out of work and this is the reason they resorted to terrorism. Really?
‘Follow the money’ ... I would bet this loon is drawing a check from Saudi paymasters, to divert attention from Is Slime as the murderous enemy of anything Western Civ.
So we can assume these fourteen year olds who strap on a bomb and blow dozens of people up in Israel are not terrorists, just pissed off school kids?
I don’t.
Yes, they tried for a higher body count, but that could be said of all mass killers as they all aim for a higher body count.
Most radical Muslims aren't poor at all. Look at almost every one of those 9/11 hijackers (if not all of them), for example. Look at these two Boston bombers, too. How do these guys come over here and end up in expensive American schools, while the rest of their dysfunctional family is scattered all over the place?
My whole point here is that these two guys -- especially the older one -- were completely 'effed up before the older one went back to Russia to get his "radicalization training."
