"Report finds no single lapse before Marathon bombings" by Matt Viser | Globe Staff April 30, 2014
WASHINGTON — Top investigators looking into whether intelligence agencies missed key warning signs before the Boston Marathon bombings said Wednesday that there was no “silver bullet” that would have prevented the attack but there were several holes in the system.
Officials from the agencies said they are taking several actions to tighten intelligence-sharing and other procedures, as a series of congressional inquiries into the bombings winds down. The changes that are known publicly have not involved sweeping shifts in policy.
“There were some errors, there were some inaccuracies. And we’ve made some recommendations and drawn some conclusions,” Intelligence Community Inspector General Charles McCullough told a Senate panel reviewing the events leading up to the bombings. “But at the end of the day there’s not a smoking gun.’’
“There’s not a singular event or series of events that we can say, had this happened, that would have . . . stopped the bombing,” McCullough said.
The testimony from the four inspectors general followed the release of a report two weeks ago that detailed missed signals and an investigation into Marathon bombing suspect Tamerlan Tsarnaev that was only fleeting.
Blah, blah, blah, we hear the same story each and every time after the total surveillance tyranny has failed with the recommendation to add more as the solution for a staged and scripted crisis drill gone live.
Wednesday’s congressional hearing was one of several examining whether official lapses allowed home-grown terrorists to escape detection.
The investigators concluded that Tsarnaev, as well as his mother, should have received more scrutiny after Russian intelligence agencies warned them in 2011, before his travel to Russia. Instead, Tsarnaev only got a cursory look and the FBI cleared him as a potential threat without searching all available databases or conducting interviews with his friends, his wife, or his ex-girlfriend.
What that tells you is the KIDS were ALREADY CONTACTS for the U.S. GOVERNMENT!
“It’s a cascade of very small judgments that were made that, had they been made differently, it wouldn’t have happened,” Senator Tom Coburn, an Oklahoma Republican and the ranking member on the committee, said in an interview after the hearing.
“That’s Monday morning quarterbacking — and probably I would have made the same assessment sitting in their position,’’ Coburn said. “But it should highlight for us what we should be doing and what we should be changing. Because the information was there. It just wasn’t put together.”
When asked whether he had a sense of what changes might occur as a result he said, “Yeah, but most of it I can’t talk about because most of it’s classified.”
Pffft!
Members of Congress have been trying to determine whether enough has been done to prevent a similar attack in the future. Little legislation is expected to be filed, however, with much of their efforts focused instead on trying to persuade US agencies to change their procedures.
Several changes have been made, according to those who testified at the hearing. All persons of interest leaving the country are given a deeper look by customs agents; information put into terrorist watchlists has been enhanced; and FBI and CIA agents have been reminded to share more information.
Uh-huh!
Thirteen f***ing years after 9/11 and it's still the same old turf shit?
In one indication that Washington’s appetite for examining the Marathon bombings has faded, only one Democrat and three Republican senators attended the hearing before the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs, which was held in a room that was half full and included only two reporters.
That is because EVERYONE in the WORLD KNOWS this was a SCRIPTED and STAGED HOAX and FALSE FLAG!
NO ONE IS FOOLED ANYMORE!!
There have been several reviews of the Boston Marathon bombings by federal agencies and members of Congress, but the group of inspectors general produced one of the most comprehensive.
There were two reports produced by the inspectors general. One was made public and the other, much longer version, was classified.
The public report contained several areas that were redacted. The four inspectors general who produced the report wanted those sections to be made public and saw no reason for them to be classified. But the agencies involved overruled them.
What are they HIDING?!!!!
“There was some pretty vigorous disagreements about that,” McCullough said after the hearing. “We wanted the entire thing unclassified. We feel like everything in there is unclassified. The agencies disagree with us on it.”
“We’re still battling those things,” he added. “We’re trying to get the whole thing unclassified.”
There were also hints that more should have been done to examine Tsarnaev’s mother, Zubeidat Tsarnaeva.
She's a Nazi!
************************
Even without the Russian tip, McCullough said, intelligence agencies could have discovered Tsarnaev’s radicalization — an important distinction for those who worry about how US intelligence agencies can prevent similar attacks if they are orchestrated outside more traditional terrorist networks.
“In a classified session we can talk about some of the post-bombing forensics and what was found and that sort of thing, and you can see when that radicalization was happening,” McCullough said.
“I would think that this would have come up, yes . . . to law enforcement and to the intelligence community. Possibly not as early as [the warning from the Russians]. But it would have come up at some point knowing what we found post-bombing,” he said.
As several senators emerged from the classified portion of the briefing, they said they felt comfortable with some of the actions being taken....
Right, everything is all right now!

"House bill orders spy agency review; Marathon attack prompted worry" by Matt Viser | Globe Staff May 30, 2014
WASHINGTON — The US House on Friday approved legislation aimed at fixing the lack of information sharing that may have hindered investigations into Tamerlan Tsarnaev in the months before the Boston Marathon bombings.
I was just told above no action was expected! WTF?
The bill, which is the first piece of legislation in response to the bombings, requires several intelligence agencies to review their practices for sharing information. The agencies — the FBI, the Department of Homeland Security, and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence — are required to report back within 90 days.
Didn't they do all this after 9/11?
“It’s something that’s plagued us since 9/11, this lack of information sharing,” Representative Bill Keating, a Bourne Democrat who wrote the legislation, said in an interview. “This is why we have breakdowns. They’re not talking to each other, they’re not sharing information, they don’t have a prearranged agreement that they will share information.”
SINCE 9/11? WTF?!!!??!!
Under the legislation, the intelligence agencies would have to review the agreements the agencies have among each other for when, how, and what information can be shared. They would have to examine portions of the agreements that could prohibit information sharing, as well as recommend ways to improve the flow of information.
The provision passed on Friday morning as an amendment to a bill that funds the government’s intelligence agencies. The amendment passed on a voice vote, and the overall bill was approved 345 to 59.
The legislation now heads to the Senate.
Several reviews have been completed on potential intelligence gaps in the lead-up to the Boston Marathon bombings, and several agencies say they have tightened some of their procedures.
But the legislation passed on Friday was the first time Congress sought to respond to the bombing through legislation.
The bill focused on one of the areas that was highlighted in the immediate aftermath of the bombing, and one that then-Boston Police Commissioner Edward F. Davis said was among the most important holes to plug.
Hmmmm! That the same Ed Davis who misled us all.
Davis testified that federal agents had not told local officials of their 2011 investigation into Tsarnaev, saying that he was first told about the FBI’s previous interest in the bombing suspect only after the FBI identified his dead body. Davis also said he was not advised of Tsarnaev’s 2012 travel to Russia.
That would have aborted the false flag operation and frame-up.
All of that information could have been helpful, Davis said, although he stopped short of saying it could have prevented the bombing. But had local law enforcement in Boston known about the FBI’s interest in Tsarnaev, it could have raised other warnings after a triple homicide in Waltham.
See: Tsarnaev and Friends
Those are some pretty strange friends to be hanging out with if you are a radical Islamist terrorist.
In response to Davis’s testimony, FBI officials said that Massachusetts and city law enforcement officials did have access to a computer database that contained information about the threat reports and investigations, including Tsarnaev. Davis and others said they would have looked for the information, but weren’t aware that it was there.
In theory, all of that information should have been shared and coordinated through the Joint Terrorism Task Force in Boston, which contains representatives from various state, federal, and local law enforcement agencies. The task force was designed to provide a venue for sharing information.
But that being said.... !!!

Officer Dennis Simmonds, a Boston police officer who died after a medical emergency at the Boston police academy in Hyde Park in April, also received the award."
