So, lets go back to Mr Snowden (the national hero), who told the public that the government was colleting data on phone records in order to monitor people talking to terrorists. Politicians, mostly from the GOP side were 'outraged' and demanded they stop the data collection that immediately. They got their wish through the courts, which ruled the program illegal, and took away a valuable anti-terror tool. So, here we are, with Faruuq and his wife talking to terrorists, and no one was able to track them down.

Would the phone data collection program been able to stop this? Maybe, maybe not, but I think the lesson is that you have to be careful what you ask for. We knew the treat was still there, so why did the politicians insist on shutting down the program?

UPDATE: FBI has OFFICIALLY listed this investigation as ACT OF TERRORISM!

Obama, ISIS doesn't have the capability to hit U.S, huh? Either directed or inspired, "at this point what does it make?!"

This is becoming California circus

- the landlord let TV reporters into the shooter's townhome where they broadcast live as they went though the house handling and contaminating evidence - allegations that the landlord was paid off to let them in

San Bernardino shooters' apartment: Reporters let in - CNN.com

- the lawyers for the gunman's family deny that the husband and wife were involved and cast doubt that Sandy Hook really happened.

Sounds like this Pakistanian woman convinced her husband to become a Jihadist killer.

FBI Director said they secured a search warrant to access to the unit and catalogued and seized specific assets. They then turned it back over to the unit owner.

Why do you keep saying "Obama's FBI"?
FBI press conference on right now, spokesman says, quote, "the FBI is apolitical."

The POTUS can instruct the FBI to keep things under wrap....they knew this was a terrorist attack from the get go...it was obvious.

Hate it when an embedded copy pops like that.
