FBI has had their hands tied through the efforts of “CAIR” limiting on how they conduct investigations on Moslems and follow Internet Terrorists Videos..

From the American Thinker....

“Realistically, the FBI had its hands tied. Tamerlan had broken no law, nor even uttered anything that could be construed as seditious or threatening.

At this point, I would blame the Russians more than the FBI. Whatever information they shared with the feds, it wasn’t serious enough to have the FBI reopen the Tamerlan file.

I’m not ready to throw the FBI under the bus quite as enthusiastically as some members of congress appear to be doing. Twenty-Twenty hindsight is a wonderful thing and what looks to us like “dropping the ball” may very well turn out to have been proper procedures.

We saw much the same thing during the investigation into 9/11. While there was certainly negligence enough to go around, some critics pointed to straws in the wind as evidence that “warnings” went unheeded. Tamerlan Tsarnaev was an extremely minor blip on the FBI’s terror radar. From this point of view, the FBI acted properly and within the scope of the law.

“If only” is not a valid criticism.

When the Russians tell you someone visiting their country for 6 months might be involved in terrorism, you just might want to keep the case open for awhile.
