Something does not smell right about this. This guy travels the world representing his father's tour bus company from Little Rock, Arkansas. Gets picked up in Yemen on a bogus Somali passport. The US State department HAD to be aware. I contend that the FBI-CIA-State Department lost control of their pet muzzie. That is why they are letting Arkansas have first shot at trying this guy. He was one of theirs (the feds).
The folks at Stratfor just sent out message saying that sources at the FBI are now saying that they had been told, quite strongly, to “back-off” all Black Muslim converts by the higher ups.
Looks like the FBI does not want to be hung with this one by the new administration.
The obvious implication is that this is first US terror attack that can be tied, directly, to actions by the Obama Administration. Didn’t take long.
