#1 "jaw-dropping revelation"....? "Recruitment" gone bad? I thought it was an 'intelligence sharing' failure, 'stove piping' and so forth.

Khalid Muhammad Abdallah al-Mihdhar and Nawaf al-Hazmi..'on the FBI's radar' were they ?

Not one person in the Intelligence Community or Law Enforcement was ever held accountable or fired. Yes, it was all a big intelligence sharing fuc*k-up. We'll do better next time.

Perhaps this is something the Mueller investigation may wish to look into. Oh wait !

#2 They all seem to be known wolves...

Maybe stopping terrorism isn't in the establishments interests, but 9/11 went a bit OTT even for them.

#5 John Solomon 2002 story. FBI agent warned of flying school fears. Filipino authorities warned as early as 1995 that mid-Eastern pilots were training in U.S. flying schools for airliner takedowns.

#6 Ref #5: One would have to be terribly naive to believe the intelligence community had NO knowledge of these vermin.

Please add the Tsarnaev bros, MAJ Nadal Hasan, and DNC computer 'fix it' man, Paki Woodbridge, VA resident Imran Awan (and clan) to the list.

#7 Ask Jamie Gorelick. She helped put in place walls between intel and law enforcement.

#8 In history one problems that empires have is "Too Big To Fail" Disease. The so-called elites starting using foreign actors, or foolishly ignore the machinations of same, because they are convinced that "..they can't hurt us!"
