The same FBI that investigated one of the suspects after a tip-off by a foreign government that he was a supporter of radical Islam? https://www.fbi.gov/news/pressrel/press-releases/2011-request-for-information-on-tamerlan-tsarnaev-from-foreign-government

The enemy combatant thing is bullshit and much scarier to me than any of the gun control stuff going on lately.

In this country, it's not against the law to be a supporter of radical Islam. Plus, it appears they responded appropriately... Since the Tsarnaev brothers hadn't committed any major crimes at that point, or even prior to the bombings, what do you actually expect the FBI to have arrested them for? They don't have a "Pre-Crimes" unit or any "precogs" to predict what they were going to do. Plus, as everybody on here keeps hyping, they had "rights." Lastly, considering how quickly they were identified and brought to justice, I think the FBI did a pretty good job. I'd like to hear how you think they could have done better given the circumstances...

Kurdistan, Kyrgystan,... whatever works.

The heart of the usaf's problem, ladies and gentlemen: Complete lack of faith in our "leaders".

Don't worry, the FBI will ensure the case against this individual will be clean; I've worked with them before, they know their shit.

Thanks for the citation, I obviously needed that. At any rate, the disconnect between us is that you seem to hang your hat on modern political law, I prefer old fashioned common law-which was used as the basis for our Constitution and, for that matter, our country. I have plenty of good reads, PM me if you are interested. If not, you might start with "Three Felonies A Day" by Harvey Silvergate. And I assure you that my dismay is genuine, but it's equally divided between recent events and the unconscionable reactions of so many Americans. But, then again, I guess that's why there's a bell curve.

You might want to take a look at the rules governing the denaturalization process. Membership in subversive groups such as al-Qaeda or Caucasus Emirate, or failing to testify regarding suspected subversive activities is grounds for USCIS to revoke one's naturalization. So perhaps you should drop the faux-outrage and gain a better understanding of immigration law. I recommend you start with 8 U.S.C. § 1451 which states, in part: "If a person who shall have been naturalized after December 24, 1952 shall within five years next following such naturalization become a member of or affiliated with any organization, membership in or affiliation with which at the time of naturalization would have precluded such person from naturalization under the provisions of section 1424 of this title, it shall be considered prima facie evidence that such person was not attached to the principles of the Constitution of the United States and was not well disposed to the good order and happiness of the United States at the time of naturalization, and, in the absence of countervailing evidence, it shall be sufficient in the proper proceeding to authorize the revocation and setting aside of the order admitting such person to citizenship..." Now, maybe the "within five years" part will be his saving grace, but that doesn't change the fact that naturalized citizens can indeed have their citizenship revoked for gross buffoonery. Edited to add the citation.

Yeah, we should have tried just talking to these young men....maybe offer them some ice cream and they surely would have put down their guns. And we need tougher pressure cooker laws....if we had more restrictions on the purchase of pressure cookers and ball bearings, none of this would have happened! (I know, that argument sounds ridiculous doesn't it....imagine that)

Wouldn't surprise me. However, commanders using it as a way to dole out DPs won't.

Just saw Jurassic Park 3D. Although the exact same movie that came out 20 (holy crap) years ago, it made me inner 10 year old happy.

. Not really, I'm not the best source for that kinda thing we are pretty busy making gunshipery happen and handling our own rumors, I'll ask some of my NSA bros though.

Yeah, most people who are framed throw IEDs out the window at cops as they're being chased. I know a guy whose sister is #4 prostitute in whole of Kazakhstan. Reports are saying they were granted citizenship along with asylum (although not at the same time). Guess it was domestic after all, Rokke. (KIDDING!)

It's all Kosher.
