When I heard some of the details about that case, I thought to myself that if I was training a new hire on how to find a potential terrorist using a database, I would give parameters similar to the underwear bomber. He was basically walking around with a sign on his chest proclaiming his intentions.
And then I heard John Brennan on a radio interview saying how hard it was to find someone like him, and I thought to myself, Cripes, a good marketing database person could find someone like that in minutes. What frickin' good are you? And that idiot is now in charge of the CIA.
Unfortunately I don’t realize just how many dangerous people we’ve deliberately imported for years.
We brought in thousands of Iraqi defectors from the first gulf war. Lord only knows how many Somalis we’ve brought in. I dated a Serbian sociologist who told me that she had interviewed dozens of war criminals from the Balkan mess who were in American prisons and walking free. There must be hundreds of thousands here on student visas.
Brennan is a Muslim. He didn’t WANT to find him.
