It's only mindless to defend our intelligence Depts ineptness,
without question...
Good thing the folks in this thread challenging the vacuous attacks on the nation's intelligence experts are actually doing so by asking questions. Seems like you're just blindly assuming answers unless they capitulate to your personal desire to dictate to them what information they must provide you and in what form.

I call it as I see it. Ineptness is there. Period.
Now, you can be the cheerleader for our intelligence all you want,
if that's your American thang

If you feel that way, I wonder what you're still doing here. But whatever; it doesn't matter. You're going to believe what you want to believe regardless of any alternative perspectives.
The mother of the two Boston bombing suspects told reporters in southern Russia on Thursday that she regretted ever moving her family to the United States, as her husband said he would travel to the U.S. later in the day to see his surviving son.
"Why did I even go there?" Zubeidat Tsarnaeva said through tears after CBS News correspondent Charlie D'Agata asked her if she regretted the move.
"America took my kids away from me," she declared through tears, saying she wished she had remained in a village in the southern Russian region of Dagestan instead of emigrating to Boston in 2002.
then stay in your country lady, I thought you were persecuted there.... BS

This is part of a much much bigger problem. We are giving away permanent asylum to people who end up traveling between the US and the place they fled like they are jumping on the subway between Harvard Sq. and Park St.
What the hell is going on with our immigration system?!?
Well, I think their laws don't require their analysts to engage in the kind of hard work our laws require of our analysts. The FBI is under very strict legal guidelines and standards when investigating Americans or persons on American soil. The standards are carefully scrutinized.

it is broken, like all of our systems in the U.S., as they cannot fund it....plus, I don't believe they even have a clue as to where to begin? plus, and this is the irony....they keep telling these illegals, "Vote for me and I'll get you asylum" so now, we've got terrible gangs/terrorist living, working and training right here in this country.
Once again, there are over two billion Muslims in the world. Do the math. How many radical Muslims are out there bombing marathons? Do the math.
Yes, they acted as individuals. I never said that their beliefs, as Muslims or whatever else, had nothing to do with it. I said that their beliefs are individual to them. That other Muslims don't share the beliefs of the Tsarnaevs. What Muslim are you saying they are following?
Here's the "math" you asked for and you probably won't like it. Take out the political rhetoric and just look at the numbers then decide if somewhere between 7%-37% is a "small number" that's acceptable and comforting to you.
I could really care less if someone's a radical as long as they keep their hands (and bombs) to themselves. Unfortunately it's been proven time and time again that this particular religions radicals are not willing to just proselytize via words but will use deadly force whenever possible.
So, given that are you still ok with a few million people possibly living down the street willing to kill your family for not believing as they do?
A new book by John Esposito and Dalia Mogahed, both of them professional pro-Islam propagandists, published by the Gallup organization, where Mogehed is executive director of the Gallup Center for Muslim Studies. Satloff shows how, through fraudulent definition of the word “radical,” the authors make it appear that a multi-year study of Muslim opinion worldwide showed that only seven percent of Muslims are radical, when, in reality, by any fair reading of the authors’ own polling data, the correct number is 37 percent.
The authors define Muslim radicals as those who say the 9/11 attack was “completely justified,” which was seven percent of the sample. However, there were two other categories of respondents who said that the attack was at least partially justified, and they are labeled by the authors as “moderates.” The first of those groups comprises 6.5 percent of the sample, the second comprises 23.1 percent. Further, the respondents in that last category, making up 23.1 percent, also said that they hate America, want to impose Sharia law, support suicide bombing, and oppose equal rights for women. Yet Esposito and Mogahed call them “moderates.”
7 plus 6.5 plus 23.1 equals 36.6 percent of 1.2 billion Muslims, or 439 million radical Muslims in the world. Just a tiny unrepresentative minority.
And here's another estimate which is a bit more sobering if true.
According to Daniel Pipes, Harvard author and Arabologist, it varies by continent and country. In Europe, he estimates 50%, but in Turkey, it is only about 20% due to the active resistance by the government of Iranian incursions, propaganda and influence. In the US, about 80% of mosques are radically led. As concerns worldwide Muslims, Pipes estimates 10-15% are Islamist (radical).
