Here’s what bugs me about the FBI always jumping on the “no terrorism” message.
We are told, as a citizenry, to be on the lookout. That an attack may be imminent, that certain infrastructure are targets...then when something that seems so obviously related to terrorism (as this incident does) occurs, they tell us it isn’t related to terrorism.
It’s like the FBI has become the “boy who cried wolf.” Watch out for terrorism, watch out for terrorism...oh we were just kidding, these guys with explosives who are of ME descent have nothing to do with terrorism.
I think it creates a false sense of security when they downplay things like this. (the guys were near a Naval Installation, it’s not like they were riding around in the boondocks.)
someone(s) may get tipped. and I am not saying what you typed is incorrect. Loose Lips and All, and I include myself in saying (typing) more than should be said (typed).
