“Fewer than 5 percent of the TIDE entries were U.S. citizens or legal residents, according to a description of the database on the NCTC website.” See article at http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3011876/posts

5% is less than 45,000. Boston metropolitan area is less than about 1-1/2% of the US population, which would equate to less than 650 on the list known as being in the Boston area. The big question is why they didn’t look at the people on the list in the area as a starting point - or did the politically correct rules in place prevent them from looking for people thought by someone to be tied to terrorist - if they were in Zero’s protected group(s). How they couldn’t have matched his pictures from their files to the pictures of suspects raises questions that need to be asked - and answered no matter how embarrassing to Zero and his administration.
OK, that’s good to hear. All the rhetoric about being on the lookout for ‘right wing extremists’ is like the smoke that makes up most of the communications from the administration.
