| #3 It is actually fairly easy to reconcile Big Sis' statement that Tamerlan "pinged" on their database and the FBI's claim that they had no record of him traveling to Russia. The FBI is in the DOJ and has different computer systems than Homeland Security. It's entirely possible that the systems don't interact. One thing that's disturbing is the claim he was missed because someone mispelled his name. This has happened several times already with other terrorists. When I was working on the warrant system for California, we stored both the suspect's written name and a phonetic name to handle this kind of problem. That way "Read", "Reed" and "Ried" would all have the same phonetic value. We had this in the 1980's. I can't believe that Federal law enforcement doesn't have this in 2013. |

| #1 If information existed that could have prevented the bombing but was held up by communications gaps between intelligence agencies, that would be a strong case against the growth of the Department of Homeland Security, which was specifically created to facilitate intelligence sharing between intelligence agencies in the aftermath of September 11, 2001. Well, Shirley, that ain't possible! |
