Off the coast makes it sound like they were practicing some kind of boat rescue.

Could they have been involved in the Boston Bomber Ja-sar HRT when he was hiding in the boat. I know HRT WAS THERE.

I do not want to besmirch the memory of these two fine FBI agents but why does it seem that every law enforcement,quasi law enforcement, government organization,private company has it’s own SWAT, hostage rescue, guerrilla, sniper,etc........?

Are they expecting a hostage situation on a boat at sea? Or are the practicing for a seaborne terrorist attack?

Do you realize that Free Republic is one of the few truly Conservative bastions?
On FR we collate and digest news and organize and join Conservative causes.
We expose government excess and hold politicians feet to the fire.
If FR ceases to exist, Conservatives will lose a valuable tool.

No, I know what you mean. When I read this, my first thought was that this is extremely wasteful. Don’t we have military forces, better trained for this type of thing?
I don’t know if there is some kind of Posse Comitatus issue associated, but this just seems like bloated government, each one duplicating the functions and probably not doing it nearly as well.
I don’t want to sully the memories of these FBI personnel either, but I think this is a question to be asked. It doesn’t make sense to me, but...I will keep an open mind.

The FBI Hostage Roasting Team was practicing their BBQ skills.

Not to mention the fact that they have to practice shooting people to death As they attempt to escape the flames.

Prayers for the families. It’s unfortunate that, if there had to be an accident, that the sniper Lon Horiuchi (despicable killer of unarmed woman and her baby) wasn’t among the casualties.

Time is of the essence. How far away is the closest military base with a specialized unit? If you or your loved one was a victim, how long would you be willing to wait. Plus the fact that it violates the Constitution, it is not a viable alternative.

Time for a backgrounder on these FBI agents. Are they Democrats who knew too much about Obama or Hillary? Were they Republicans? Can Freepers let us know more about the agents who died in the so-called training exercise?

Did they know too much about Hillary or Obama?
Wow! I hadn’t even thought of that angle. Worth pursuing.

Probably an Achille Lauro type incident in US waters, or a US flagged ship.
