``There was nothing he told us three months ago or last night that would lead us to believe Mr. Muhammad or Mr. Malvo would have the kind of future that led them to where they are today,'' he said.

The chief added that Singh's story changed when he was re-interviewed this week

Here comes the CYA stories.

THIS should probably be linked here.

And maybe THIS too.

I wonder how many "tips" and "warnings" the FBI gets in an average day?

[mhking]

Let's make it easy for them: "The FBI has been warned of every crime since 1955 and forward for the next fifty years."

Satisfied? [rolling eyes]

[B4Ranch]

I have no idea whether the FBI or if the ATF should have investigated the tip. I do know that when someone is looking for an under the table silencer or a suppressor they aren't the folks that I would want teaching my kids. They are probably up to no good, don't you think?

You can buy a silencer for about $1000, then you are supposed to regerister it with the ATF, another $250.

I don't know if the background check is more detailed for this Class 3 equipment. I imagine it is. I have a friend who has a couple of these Class 3 type weapons and he complains about the ATF fees.

30 years ago I called the FBI offfice and told them about a bank robbery discussion that I had overheard at a bar one evening. I told the SAC that I didn't know the people involved , nor did I know if they were just bs'ing each other because they were drinking.

The following Saturday, the SAC called me at home and told me that the information I had over heard turned out to be correct. They had the local Sheriff stop the car on a false charge, something to do with brake lights, and the young men inside were all carrying guns and masks and were 1/4 mile from the bank.

The guys were arrested on a variety of charges, none of which was bank robbery of course because that was prevented. This is what we have cops for, correct?

I would imagine if someone had followed up on the tip about Muhammed and his desire for a silencer, they might just have scared him enough to think twice before murdering innocent Americans.

Sorry for the hiccup post.

There is no way to tell. But in my opinion, the number of people coming to the FBI on the average day, week, or even month, and accusing someone they know of threatening to kill law enforcement officers, is zero.

FBI should have investigated this report.
But they didn't and look what has happened.
Of course, no one will be responsible for this fufu!

[Rome2000]

The thing that pisses me off the most is that there is no accountability on the civilian side,these agents will still be there and will still get all of the benefits of being employed by Uncle Sam.

if this was the military, these incompetents would have been out the door for their absoulutely unacceptable failure to investigate the tip from Singh

[BeAllYouCanBe]

" Bellingham Police Chief Randy Carroll said his agency had met with Singh last summer. "

Connect these dots:

The Police knew something in WA from Singh. Dot 1 .

Malvo was in INS custody and released. Dot 2 .

The pair were stopped 5 times in the DC area. Dot 3 .

The police depended on false White Male profiling. Dot 4 .

[BeAllYouCanBe]

I connected the dots and it adds up to Political Correctness gone to the most stupid extreme.

[BeAllYouCanBe]

"This is what we have cops for, correct?"

If we wanted traffic control and people to mediate domestic disputes we could use the thousands of liberal-arts arts graduates who have no employable skills but know political correctness.

If we want people to take risks and may hurt some groups feelings then we better get new cops. Remember how Moose didn't want to hurt any groups feelings?

I am so tired of whiners who slam the FBI.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation is busy 24 / 7 / 365 protecting America. They were heroes who did their best to save lives at a fire in Waco, Texas that burned alive a large group of criminal children.

The FBI was also right there trying to stop the evil terrorist Kevin Weaver. Weaver’s psycho 14 year old son was valiantly “neutralized” by machine gunning him in the back. Then a highly skilled and courageous FBI sniper stopped that traitorous Vicki Weaver. Unfortunately for America, as Vicki’s head was shattered, her body turned and fell, and the courageous FBI hero was unable to get a head shot on the infant. Oh well, there’s always next time.

Don’t forget Florida: an FBI agent was falsely accused of drunk driving, killing two brothers, then allowing the Florida Highway Patrol to spirit him away until he sobered up. The fact was, these two brothers were the true perpetrators.

We all admire the patriotic FBI agent who unflinchingly defended his fellow agents by shooting the “bank robber” in the face while he sat in his car with his girlfriend. That WAS the real robber, and you know it!!

then 9-11, then, then then...

Thank God for the Federal Bureau of Investigation. God bless Amerika, Heil Hitler!

That is, um, interesting.

[mickie]

Interesting observation......now tell us how you really feel!
LOL

It the cops had followed up the lead, they would have found out that Mr. Muhammad had no right to own a gun on the first place.

Mr. Muhammad should have been arrested for illegal possession of firearms.
