The shocking sight of journalists storming into the apartment of the San Bernardino terrorists, less than 48 hours after the attack, was apparently allowed by the FBI, which handed the apartment back over to the landlord, who let the media in with a crowbar.
CNN had a reporter on the scene, but its own analyst Harry Houck was shocked, calling it a “screw-up.”

Hayes of the Weekly Standard has waged a lonely battle to force the government to take the intelligence seriously–intelligence that could disrupt terror networks and prevent future attacks around the world. “They haven’t done anything close to a full exploitation,” perhaps only 10%, he quoted one analyst in May 2015.

In aforementioned cases they got what they needed.Modern evidence collection has evolved way beyond having to secure a scene for weeks.For instance,the FBI collected more evidence within 24 hours of the Calif shooting than J Edgars' FBI could have collected in a month.Technology has revolutionized evidence collection.

DeleteI suppose next you will tell me crime is down in Salisbury!
DeleteObama was afraid he would be found out.
ReplyDeleteIn contrast, France and Belgium immediately acted to round up people they'd had their eye on and check their activity. I'm shocked we haven't made any similar moves, at least not publicly.
