| IG report attempts to shift blame for Boston Bombing to Russians. |

| [Jihad Watch] News about this new report is circulating as an exoneration of the FBI, as it is referred to explicitly in the last paragraph of this New York Times report. However, it is not really an exoneration at all. It is an attempt to displace blame for the FBI's dropping the ball on watching Tamerlan Tsarnaev before the Boston Marathon jihad bombing from the FBI to the Russians. The problem with this attempt, however, is that while the report says that the Russians refused to give the FBI further information, it acknowledges that they told the feds that Tamerlan Tsarnaev "was a follower of radical Islam and a strong believer" and that he "had changed drastically since 2010 as he prepared to leave the United States for travel to the country's region to join unspecified underground groups." The FBI clearly failed in this case and bears some responsibility for the Boston bombing, but ultimately the responsibility lies with Barack Obama and John Brennan, who made sure that agents would be abysmally ignorant of Islam and jihad when they scrubbed all mention of both from counterterror training -- so how could the FBI properly evaluate what the Russians told them? "Abysmally ignorant of Islam"....hardly. They were only following orders. Obama and Brennan complicit in failure? Absolutely. |

| #1 Possibly valuable information-wise, but Jihad Watch articles, IMNSHO, veer more into editorial and opinion and not into actual news. |
