Saudi Arabia warned the United States IN WRITING about Tamerlan Tsarnaev in 2012...

Saudi Arabia warned the United States IN WRITING about Tamerlan Tsarnaev in 2012, and rejected his application for an entry visa to visit Mecca in 2011

Saudis developed intelligence separately from Russia, which also warned the U.S. about the accused Boston bomber

A letter to the Department of Homeland Security named Tsarnaev and three Pakistanis as potential jihadis worthy of U.S. investigation

Red flags from Saudi Arabia included Tsarnaev's name and information about a planned explosive attack on a major U.S. city

Saudi foreign minister, national security chief both met with Obama in the oval office in early 2013

And I am just curious as to why the vast majority of your OPs since the bombing are about it or the bombers. Just curious.

You can get very specific on subject there and the amount of material is almost overwhelming.

I'm thinking this is going to have a significant impact on a number of areas and rights, privacy, efficiency of government, immigration, relations with Russia and accusations of human rights violations...

Learning a lot about the stans too. Fascinating stuff.

Also, I noticed DU is lacking in coverage. CNN is on it wall to wall. MSNBC, not so much.

Mostly I'm seeing this as a significant failure of the Government and I am not so happy about that.

This tragedy is opening to view a whole other area of intel and espionage and foreign entanglements. Those who are Russian language experts and wanted a government career just became more likely to find employment.

Benghazi Whistleblowers! Breitbart is pushing May 1 as Blog about Pigford Day. And this hits in the wee hours tonight.

It's like a perfect storm of bullshit.
