| Obama: Staff is reviewing Boston intelligence |
| 2013-04-30 |
| President Obama said Tuesday his staff is reviewing intelligence gathering prior to the Boston Marathon bombings to see if anything was missed that could have thwarted the attack. "When an event like this happens, we want to go back and we want to review every step that was taken," Obama said at a White House news conference. Obama also pushed back on claims by a prominent Republican -- Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina -- that Boston and last year's Sept. 11 attack on a U.S. consulate in Libya show that U.S. intelligence is going backwards. "No, Mr. Graham is not right on this issue, although I'm sure it generated some headlines," Obama said. The president said the Boston review led by Director of National Intelligence James Clapper is standard operating procedure in the wake of the April 15 attack that killed three and injured hundreds more. |

| #4 Maybe if the White House reviews enough intelligence, they'll find out what it looks like. God knows they have no idea now. :-( |

| #2 Staff reviewing Boston Intelligence. Law Enforcement criminologists, and/or military intelligence analysts are they? Interesting, and all this time I thought they were little more than Chicago thugs. |
