CBS News has learned the State Department system designed to keep track of active U.S. visas twice failed to reveal Nigerian terror suspect Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab had been issued an active visa allowing him multiple entries into the United States.
According to a law enforcement source, the first failure came on Nov. 19, 2009, the very same day Abdulmutallab father’s, Dr. Umaru Mutallab, a prominent banking official in Nigeria, expressed deep concern to officials at the U.S. Embassy in Abjua, Nigeria, that his 23-year-old son had fallen under the influence of "religious extremists" in Yemen.
The second failure to flag an active visa belonging to Abdulmuttalab occurred the very next day in Washington, after Mutallab's concerns were forwarded to officials there. It was only after the Christmas Day terror attack in Detroit that U.S. officials learned that Abdulmuttalab had been issued a visa by the U.S. Embassy in London.

Incompetents in government.
Too busy monitoring Glenn Beck’s program.
A really active journalist would search for this muzzies conections to our cinc the half-white bat turd kenyan.
It is a slow process, but we now know US Embassy in Nigeria sent info re father’s concern the next day to Washington DC.
And that is when Obama and his incompetent Black Muslim Presidency dropped the ball.
reported this morning on Fox & friends that he boarded the plane without a passport. A well dressed Indian man was with him at the airport and convenced them to let him board the flight without his passport.
But yet Obama’s minions are claiming he acted alone and is not part of a larger plot.
No, it's failed countless times all the way back to Atta & Co. The State Dept. has no idea how many "students" are here on expired visas.
the first failure came on Nov. 19, 2009
No, dad reported him SIX MONTHS ago back in JUNE. Not only that, we knew about him and had him on some list TWO YEARS ago. Beware the cover up!
The no passport is also headlined on Drudge.
No passport but he did have a visa. Someone help me out here. Are we purely referring to the records that Hillary’s Dept has?
Passport issue can be easily solved.
Either he had a passport on him when he was arrested and removed from the plane or he didn’t.
I cannot understand this ‘no passport flying’ thing: how can that be???
Every time I returned to the US from ANY country, through ANY country, mine is examined like if it was a fake by several people, and I am a US citizen!
Does not compute...
It is also being reported that the FBI is looking for a man who recorded the ENTIRE FLIGHT on video!!
Per the Drudge Report!
“Her daughter said that ahead of them was a man who videotaped the entire flight, including the attempted detonation.
“He sat up and videotaped the entire thing, very calmly,” said Patricia. “We do know that the FBI is looking for him intensely. Since then, we’ve heard nothing about it.”
“We heard what sounded like an electrical pop to me. Everybody looked above their seats, kind of like startled, panicked. Shortly thereafter, we heard the screams. We could not see what was going on. We were too far back. We heard shouting, and you could hear the mayhem happening.”

That’s weird. I saw those people interviewed on Fox ‘n Friends this morning and although the interview was short, they didn’t mention the man who taped the incident, but they said everyone was interviewed individually by the FBI, so I am left to wonder why the FBI would now be looking for that man, since I am certain the FBI took names and addresses and verified same.
How will they blame Bush on this? Seems everything has happened on obammma’s watch!
Obama and Co need to go. They are a danger to our country.
I am sure that the FBI interviewed the cameraman who identified himself as Osama Abdullah Hussein al-Jihadi, Executive Producer of “America’s Funniest Crotch Fire Videos” on MSNBC. Nothing to see here, move along...
He was traveling on the same pass port that Obama used himself?
Or someone removed the dots from the computer .... ...
