Kinda like the deaf ears FBI warnings about the 9/11 bombers fell on, eh?
If ya wanna play the 20/20 hindsight blame game, there's LOTS of blame to gbo around on BOTH sides of the aisle.
I'll see your Boston Bombers and fraise you 3 hi-jacked airliners.
It's a failed argument to argue that Clinton and Bush failed so it's understandable that Obama failed despite going to extraordinary lengths to spy on the citizens of the country.
If you are going to fail, at least leave me out of it.
But actually they were advised. Even the Russians warned them. No different than warning about pilot training by FBNI agent or the shooter in the last shooting having made threats to do just what he did. Its just that nothing was done as far as being effect to so called protect the public. We have known for a long time that the church commission basically destroyed our human intelligence gathering which was clearly shown with the WMDs in Irag problems. With those examples alone I fail to see how having cellphone records mean much if they do not show evidence of prep to commit attacks and not much organized terrorist can't get around it easily. Reminds me of the letter to policy warning them that veterans should be watched as highly potential terrorist when police departments are loaded with a high percentage of veterans. I think we are seeing more and more that citizens are the target rather than any terrorist in watching them for who knows what political purpose. Just increasing spying to increase funding based and not acting on what you get is useless. The same could be applied to street crime that threatens use everyday but no one wants that.
How on Earth can anyone say that the NSA is not doing a good job ??
