One hundred years ago an Imam that was found to be preaching the hate and murder on our soil would have been arrested and deported with in a few days.
How do we come to the point of ignoring a guest in our country telling our citizens and other guest to kill us.
It is non-sense. These Imams and those that allow them to continue to spout this curdled bile in their Mosc should be deported with out further delay.
The 07/07 events in Great Britain was not due to the war in Iraq, but it may have happened due to the as yet imperfect coordination between the CIA and the FBI.
The ringleader was in Great Britain at Heathrow and on his way to the U.S. We found out and we knew he was a person of interest. FBI and CIA tried to decide who to be the lead agency to trail him, every minute he was here and just how to organize that. The discussions also involved who would be held responsible if our agents lost him. The most active analysts wanted him here so they could learn, directly, who his contacts were. The inability to decide went all the way to the heads of the FBI and the CIA.
Unable to resolve their differences, word was sent to Heathrow to not let him board the plane for the U.S.
After being told he could not board and a brief round of questioning her was released - no evidence yet.
He went underground in London and later was identified as the 07/07 terrorist leader. Had he been allowed to come here and watched, and bugged, and traced here we may have learned of his contacts in England as well as here.
