I call BS, they already know who but would be too embarrassing to the current political faction.
So they are hoping to get enough out of the blue accusations to pin the blame on a certain other political party.

In this current age of tech CSI and intel gathering they know already.

Its all just a stalling tactic.

This administration wasn’t so corrupt, I would think you were being paranoid.

Maybe we overrate our multi billion dollar security apparatus. Maybe they aren’t as good as people think. After all look at all the idiots that are politically in charge. We have more intel agencies and federal law enforcement alphabet groups than we do small businesses in this country and the best they can do is get their info from SPLC bulletins.

I so agree they already know who did it! But we never will... it will all fade away just like Benghazi because it is just way too inconvenient an enemy. Unless of course, it does happen to be some “right wing nut” they can blame it on, then we will never hear the end of it! Are there people who actually believe BO will get these guys and bring them to justice?

I am not that sure about the efficacy of CSI and intel gathering. While CSI and signal intelligence(SIGINT) is sophisticated, and getting even more so, the problem is that terrorism is an asymmetrical warfare stratagem where the foe uses what is available to them to work against a more powerful entity. This means that the terrorists will adopt measures that attempt to dilute, as far as they can, the effectiveness of intelligence gathering. Apparently this is one of the things that helped Osama hide for almost a decade ...eschewing cell phones, computers, etc and relying on 17th century type courier messages.

There is also the problem of information overload, when there is so much information coming in that it is difficult to filter information from that data ...that is until it is too late.

This is also one of the reasons the Israelis rely a lot on human intelligence since HUMINT is better capable of penetrating such groups.

I agree with your assessment. I was thinking more along the lines of they have been browbeat to be so politically correct that they can’t see the truth in front of them.
