(20,176 posts)38. There is literally no way to inquire how Tamerlan T financed his lifestyle...
under the public safety exemption. It's astounding that people cannot grasp how narrow this exemption is.
It is in no way within the limited scope of questions that immediately assess an ongoing danger to the public. They can ask him are there are more bombs out there, they can ask him if he knows of other plots, they can ask him if he's aware of any associates of Tamerlan who may be enemy combatants who may pose an immediate danger, they can ask him where the bomb-making materials are. The second they ask him a non-exempted question like "Where did you brother get the money to finance his lifestyle" or even "Do you like school?"...everything he has said is rendered no longer admissible. Everything.
