My Ioan, although I am sure you meant rhetorical question. That is twice you have use the same reason for posting as you did. Do you even understand what rhetorical means and how it should be used?
The question I asked was meant to convey to you based upon your previous post what may have seemed obvious to was not for everyone. If you want to name the United States of America as being your target then do so. Don't be a wuss hiding behind verbiage that is unclear.

When you reply with honesty, then I will respond.

"children who left the Branch Davidian cult compound said David Koresh gave girls as young as 11 plastic Stars of David that signified they were ready to have sex with him. Today's New York Times, quoting therapists working with surviving cult children, said Koresh also told youngsters to call their parents "dogs" and only he was to be referred to as their father.
The cult's compound in Waco, Texas, the therapists said, became "a misguided paramilitary community" in which sex, violence, fear, love and religion were all intertwined. The children held captive by both parents and Koresh."

Can not remember what this tread is about? Got to go stumbling off on rabbit trails without a clue? Perhaps this will help. http://static1.businessinsider.com/i.../boston-28.jpg Richard Martin, his sister to the left, in green shirt who lost her leg, and the bomb is also circled, along with the younger brother-bomber with his smiling face standing behind them.

Guys, keep it on topic and quit personal comments/insults or I close it !

So the heat is being turned up by the media and others on the FBI. Essentially, they are blaming the FBI rather than the criminals for the blast. So much for holding criminals responsible for what they do.

I see no way that the FBI has the resources to be tracking each possible suspect that someone thinks might be a radical or nutcase of some sort to prevent the possibility that they may go crazy and actually hurt someone.

When such preventive measures have been done in the past, some holler it is racial and religous profiling in violation of civil rights.


CNN is says heat is on FBI.....

Heat is on FBI over handling of bombing suspect - CNN.com

First CNN says that a Congreesman blamed the FBI for failing to prevent the bombing, but later:Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) on Sunday declared that the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) was at fault for failing to prevent last week’s bombing in Boston.
In an interview on CNN’s State of the Union, host Candy Crowley noted that the FBI had intervewed deceased bombing suspect Tamerlan Tsarnaev in 2011, but wondered if it was fair to blame the agency for not anticipating something that happened two years later. Lindsey Graham blames FBI for Boston bombing:



bombing the result of an intelligence failure?

There was this, which is more accurate:

Boehner, an Ohio Republican said authorities have to walk “a fine line” that takes account of civil liberties.
“If you are in America and you have a legal status, you’re protected by American rights,” Boehner said. “It’s a fine line that they have to walk, and we’re going to have to make a determination how well they walked that line.”
The FBI’s investigation of the information from Russia followed the attorney general’s guidelines for probing possible terror suspects, according to a person familiar with the matter who spoke on condition of anonymity because of the continuing investigation. Those guidelines lay out what authorities are allowed to do to investigate suspects based on the level of evidence they have.
The FBI searched intelligence and criminal databases on the suspect and conducted interviews, the person said. The findings of those inquiries didn’t suggest anything suspicious. As a result, investigators couldn’t obtain warrants for wiretaps or take other investigative steps under the guidelines, the person said. The guidelines are designed to protect civil liberties.
Russia Trip

The current FBI-led investigation is paying close attention to a six-month trip Tsarnaev took to Russia in early 2012.
Tsarnaev was in the U.S. travel screening database known as the Treasury Enforcement Communications System, according to the two law-enforcement officials. The addition to the screening system is a routine occurrence when the FBI reviews individuals, the officials said, confirming that Tsarnaev’s name was misspelled on the Aeroflot passenger manifest for the flight from New York’s John F. Kennedy Airport to Russia.

Can I endorse that comment.
This thread covers a very serious topic. It is not the place for trying to score cheap political points, deliver personal insults, start or continue squabbles and the like. Some members seem to be overlooking this and appear to trying to see how far they can push the envelope.
No modersator likes to close a thread or issue a ban, but if his hand is forced ....

So , meanwhile , here in Canada , we've just had what has been called , a "major terrorist threat" , thwarted by the RCMP , as they just arrested two guys , one in Toronto , the other in Montreal , over what was said to be a plot to bomb a VIA Rail train in Toronto .
As they deal with the terrorist threat down in Boston , we have one here as well , and , rather obviously ironic is a debate in the Canadian house of commons in Ottawa , over the new anti-terrorism laws .
