An interesting item from the Guardian Q&A with Snowdon:

"Q: But isn't there a need for surveillance to try to reduce the chances of terrorist attacks such as Boston?

A: "We have to decide why terrorism is a new threat. There has always been terrorism. Boston was a criminal act. It was not about surveillance but good, old-fashioned police work. The police are very good at what they do."

A very Obamaesque view of terrorism. Police Work. Arrest the terrorists after the terrorists have done their work.

And even then it was a citizen going out for a smoke that found him.

Kerry’s plank, too.

But he’s probably right: if you have a tip about a terrorist, skip the fed and tell the police where the crime is about to be committed.

They’re incentivized to prevent terror and crime. The current admin is NOT.

Yes. Police work.

What Obama has done is take authorities eyes off of the real terrorists.

Since 1960 the overwhelming majority of terrorist acts, like 98%, have been committed by men between the age of 15 and 55 years of age who are ALL Muslim.

BHO2 has, instead, turned the surveillance around and focused on conservative Christians and Jews while at the same time facilitating the entry of Muslims into the U.S.A.

BHO2 must leave, now.
