NYC bombing: Suspect Rahami 'may have been radicalised after visiting Afghanistan'
2016-09-20
Paragraph cherry-picked from article:
[The Telegraph] Mike Rogers, former congressman, and former chairman of the House intelligence committee, said: "No way he did this all by himself. The odds of this one person acting alone is infinitesimally small. "Normally the way this works, you have a cell doing logistics, bomb-making and assembly, and an operational one. Even if you merge those into one small cell you had to have lots of activity going into both locations."
He simply can't stay away from the action. Care to tell us about the Benghazi 'cells', Congressman? No-bid US Embassy security contracts? The UK's Aeigis Security?

Fox News' Katherine Herridge reported last evening that the FBI had previously interviewed Rahami, possibly following a domestic incident and/or foreign travel(s).

#8  Now this guy's Dad says he reported his son to the FBI as a potential terrorist two year's ago. He travels to Afghanistan and Pakistan several times...WTF? FBI? I changed my mind - Agents and SACs don't need to get fired, they need to be charged with Criminal Negligence.

Here's 'WTF'.... it was somebody else's OP.

#6  but who do you imagine makes such decisions?

The Peter Principle in a nut shell.

Promoted to their level of incompetence and then stuck there making incompetent decisions forever.

#5  Ref #2 - It made me 'feel better' reading it. I actually went back and read "fire Comey' five more times.

BREAK BREAK

Former FBI Agent and Congresscritter Mike Rogers must have his BVD's in a crack wedging wad. There he sits with HRC and Trump in a dead heat.

Me! Me! Me! Who will pick Me for a senior Law Enforcement or National Intelligence post ?

#4  I admire your thought, but who do you imagine makes such decisions? They're on the other side. I know...it made me feel better to rant for a few minutes though.

#2  Fox News' Katherine Herridge reported last evening that the FBI had previously interviewed Rahami, possibly following a domestic incident and/or foreign travel(s). The FBI collects criminal intelligence and is over cautious about actioning on it...over and over again...we take the hit, local law enforcement takes the bad guy down, the FBI comes in and takes over...files charges...in Mateen's case looses the co-conspirator... Fire Comey, fire the SAC, fire the incompetents...hire aggressive street cops and investigators and let them identify the bad guys, chase them down, grab em by the tail, pull them to the ground and finish them off...in a court of law if they surrender. All else is nonsense.
