#1 They'd have everything on him from his first burp to his last gasp. That's reserved for political enemies of the Obamagenda, not for real enemies of the USA.

Unfortunately, Lois Lerner and her staff were busy on another, higher priority assignment.

#4 The report leaves out another disaster. in 2011 the US received a report from
Russia about the elder brother. The reaction was to have the FBI question him. This caused him to wonder who informed the FBI about him. Not knowing that it was the Russians, he blamed his three American friends, who he proceeded to murder in revenge. (the guy recently killed in Florida was involved in this and confessed that he abetted though he had no idea that the murders would take place.) Is it really a good idea for the FBI to alert suspects that they are so?
That names on the TECS list are removed after a year seems an insane idea. That the list is a joke follows from the fact that though he was on it nobody noticed or cared when he flew to Russia. That its maintenance is a joke follows from the fact that the notice that he should be barred from reentry to the country never made it to the list because of a variant in the transliteration of his name.
One might also notice that the younger brother was only found after the complete shutdown of Watertown and Newton to allow a massive police search (accompanied by sporadic gunfire) ended. A civilian noticed him on his boat, and the infrared view from a helicopter confirmed it. The huge police effort got nothing at all!

#5 there are so many holes in the system (including the borders) and missed opportunities, only a fool would accept the fallacy that NSA's efforts are effective; namely, we we've had terrorists in our sights- Bledsoe, Hassan, these guys and others and couldn't get it right.

#6 the U.S. Human Intelligence [HUMINT] community would salivate over sources like Nidal Hasan and the Tsarnaev bros. I will never believe the placement & access of these people went overlooked and unmonitored.
