Boat by the river. lol One thing that really pisses me off about all this is that they are reporting the fbi got intel on one of these guys from a foreign government about his involvement with a foreign terrorists and questioned him about associations he had with radical groups two years ago?

"According to CBS News, the FBI actually investigated one of the two Boston Marathon bombing suspects two years ago. 26-year-old Tamerlan Tsarnaev — the elder brother who was shot and killed in today's ongoing manhunt — was questioned by the FBI about potential extremist ties at the request of a yet-unnamed foreign government.

According to the publication, the FBI failed to find any evidence of such ties, but his mother Zubeidat Tsarnaeva claims that the FBI continued their investigation, telling Russia Today that her family was under continual FBI surveillance. "They used to come [to our] home, they used to talk to me... they were telling me that he was really an extremist leader and that they were afraid of him."

CBS News correspondent John Miller reports it is likely Russia asked to have the elder Tsarnaev vetted because of suspected ties to Chechen extremists.

The FBI is likely to have run a background check, running his name through all the relevant databases, including those of other agencies, checking on his communications and all of his overseas travel. Miller reports that culminated in a sit-down interview where they probably asked him a lot of questions about his life, his contacts, his surroundings. All of this was then written in a report and sent it to the requesting government.

This is an issue they've had in the past. They interviewed Carlos Bledsoe in Little Rock, Ark., before he shot up an Army recruiting station in 2009. They were also looking into Major Hasan Nadal before the Fort Hood shootings

However, the FBI has maintained in those incidents that they took all the steps they were asked to and were allowed to under the law.

Although the FBI initially denied contacting Tsarnaev, the brothers' mother said they had in an interview with Russia Today.

Zubeidat Tsarnaeva said her son got involved in "religious politics" about five years ago, and never told her he was involved in "jihad

She insisted the FBI "knew what he was doing on Skype" and that they counseled him "every step of the way."

Tsarnaeva, who is a U.S. citizen currently in Russia, told Russia Today the FBI had called her with concerns about her elder son, although she did not specify when exactly she was contacted.

"They used to come [to our] home, they used to talk to me ... they were telling me that he was really an extremist leader and that they were afraid of him," Tsarnaeva said. "They told me whatever information he is getting, he gets from these extremist sites... they were controlling him, they were controlling his every step...and now they say that this is a terrorist act!"

This attack is nothing compared to Beslan, the Russian apartment bombings, the Moscow theater hostage crisis. This mother is under an enormous of grief and I dont know how truthful she is being , but how can the fbi get intel on a guy like this, see his writings and hwatever info they had from the russians and not take this seriously. She says the fbi approached her numerous times, http://rt.com/usa/tsarnaev-brothers-parents-innocent-124/

True or not, if they questioned this guy and some red flags didnt come up somebody wasnt doing their job.This is an issue theat has come up before like the cbs news article stated. They interviewed Carlos Bledsoe in Little Rock, Ark., before he shot up an Army recruiting station in 2009. They looking into Major Hasan Nadal before the Fort Hood shootings.

If the FBI maintains in these incidents that they took all the steps they were asked to and were allowed to under the law, the law has to be changed.
 
Greg, but what do you do even if you have a guy that has all sorts of links to crazy people, and is a fanatic, and talks crazy, and writes crazy, and looks at crazy stuff on the internet........but doesn't commit a crime?
 
Like I said before, if the FBI says they couldnt do anything about Carlos Bledsoe before he shot up an Army recruiting station or Major Hasan Nadal before the Fort Hood shootings because they took all the steps they were asked to and were allowed to under the law, the law has to be changed. This guy traveled to russia the year before, the fbi admitted Friday they interviewed Tamerlan. His mother is claiming there were follow up interviews.

" But her biggest suspicion surrounding the case was the constant FBI surveillance she said her family was subjected to over the years. She is surprised that having been so stringent with the entire family, the FBI had no idea the sons were supposedly planning a terrorist act."

"They used to come [to our] home, they used to talk to me…they were telling me that he [the older, 26-y/o Tamerlan] was really an extremist leader and that they were afraid of him. They told me whatever information he is getting, he gets from these extremist sites"
 
Greg, Russia probably asked the US to check on them boys thinking they were in support of a Chechnyan cell plotting against Russia. Having read pretty much nothing on this I'm pretty sure the gvmnt did their intel gather from that perspective not expecting home to be a target. From that angle, it's not like the US is ecstatic in giving Russia a hand, i.e. Syria. Turning a blind eye on atrocities is a common tool of foreign policy.
