(CIA) Officials: Dead bomber name in terrorism database

The CIA added the name of the dead Boston Marathon bombing suspect to a U.S. government terrorist database 18 months before the deadly explosions, U.S. officials told The Associated Press on Wednesday.

The CIA's request came about six months after the FBI investigated Tamerlan Tsarnaev, also at the Russian government's request, but the FBI found no ties to terrorism, officials said.

The new disclosure was significant because officials have said the U.S. intelligence community had no information leading up to the April 15 bombings that killed three people and injured more than 260 others. That one of the bomber's name was in a terrorism database for 18 months before the attack was expected to drive congressional inquiries about whether the U.S. government adequately investigated tips from Russia that Tsarnaev posed a security threat.

Look at the big fat failure of the Obama administration on this terrorist attack. They have weakened our intelligence gathering capabilities. They are using the whiz bang drone policy way too much. They cater to the Moslem world continually.

Tsarnaev being on a terrorist list didn’t get him on the no-fly list. He flew round trip to Russia in 2012.

Sounds like we are still dealing with disasters created by this hag Jamie Gorelick. Excerpt: As Deputy Attorney General under Bill Clinton from 1994 to 1997 Gorelick wrote the memo that created the now infamous “Gorelick Wall.” A 1995 memo she wrote, stated explicitly that they would “go beyond what is legally required, [to] prevent any risk of creating an unwarranted appearance that FISA is being used to avoid procedural safeguards which would apply in a criminal investigation.” These rules were, shortly after their creation, expanded to regulate such communications in future counter-terrorism investigations. It set a procedure where various intelligence operations such as the FBI and CIA could not share information with each other./ http://www.newsrealblog.com/2011/03/25/jamie-gorelicks-incompetence-helped-cause-911-and-the-housing-collapse-why-is-she-on-obamas-short-list-for-fbi-director/

Yes, he certainly did. People need to be held accountable for this, no matter who they are. Bring on the hearings!

BEHEAD THOSE WHO SAY ISLAM IS VIOLENT. Real rocket scientist isn’t he. He’s probably a Biden intern.

Biden and his ilk will never admit there are jihadis wanting to kill us all. They don’t want to lose that Saudi money.

Sorry about that. Wrong thread on first post.

*******

I don’t think we will ever get the truth while Obama is in charge. He needs the Saudi money and he will never let the truth be known from the CIA OR FBI. RememberBenghazi

They were willfully negligent. Russian anti-terrorist intelligence notified them several times to be aware of this guy.

And then she went on to pocket $26,000,000 at Fannie Mae and later to serve as legal counsel for BP after the oil spill.

Busy little beaver.

TIDE, the database he was in, is used to generate the no-fly list. Yet off he flew to visit relatives get radicalized and maybe some terrorist training for 6 months in the Muslim part of Russia and he already had an FBI file of some sort. Maybe we need a "don't come back" list.

So a “lone jihadist” was entered into a terrorist database 18months ago.

And yet, he was acting alone. But I repeat myself.
