#1 Sure glad we had those neat FBI photos of the Tsarnaev bros. so soon after the bombing. They've always been keen on releasing critical information regarding potential suspects during the conduct of..... "ongoing investigations."

Tough Questions.

"Did the FBI have the suspects under physical surveillance at any time prior to releasing the photos to the public?" Grassley wrote in his letter to FBI Director James B. Comey, Jr. The FBI aired the photos of the then-unnamed suspects during a 5 p.m. press conference on the Thursday after the bombing, about five hours before Collier was shot and killed.

Grassley also writes that his office has learned through sources that, "In the hours leading up to the shooting of Collier and the death of the older suspect involved in the bombing, sources revealed that uniformed Cambridge Police Department officers encountered multiple teams of FBI employees conducting surveillance in the area of Central Square in Cambridge. It is unclear who the FBI was watching, but these sources allege the Cambridge Police Department, including its representation at the (Joint Terrorism Task Force), was not previously made aware of the FBI's activity in Cambridge."

#2 The Russians and Saudis supposedly warned us about the Tsarnaev brothers. Russia warns and Saudi warns.

#3 Yet we are expected to believe that the finest intelligence and law enforcement services in the world had no prior knowledge of the Tsarnaev Bros. whatsoever.

Please file under Nidal Hasan, Chris Stevens, IRS, Fast and Furious, or NSA. You pick.

#4 Let's see how quick they are in getting the needle in, say, vs the Oklahoma City bomber Tim McVeigh.

#5 Hey, the kid only killed three people. And besides, he is still grieving because his brother died. True, his brother died because he got run over by Dzhokhar.

It will also be interesting to see who dies first: Tsarnaev or Hassan.
