Russia’s Multiple Warnings About Tamerlan Tsarnaev

April 25, 2013 By Matthew Vadum Comments (29)
Russian authorities warned the Obama administration repeatedly — not merely once — that Boston Marathon bombing mastermind Tamerlan Tsarnaev could be an Islamic terrorist, but those admonitions went unheeded in Washington, D.C.
It’s a depressingly familiar tale of intelligence failures, official lies, politically correct posturing, and bureaucratic bungles coming from an administration that has little interest in protecting Americans from the Islamic terrorist threat, a danger President Obama refuses even to acknowledge.
Time magazine previously reported that Russia’s Federal Security Service (FSB) warned the U.S. government about Tsarnaev a single time two years ago, after he frequented a radical mosque in Makhachkala, the capital of Dagestan, during a six-month visit to that politically unstable, jihadist-friendly Russian republic. The mosque is reportedly a terrorist hangout.
But the Boston Globe now reports there were several such warnings….To Read More….

My Take - As I listen to the news reporting about the Russians attempting to warn the FBI and later the CIA they kept coming back to the point that when the FBI asked for more information they received no response.  Why?  To me it was as plain as could be.  The Russians have people on the inside and have no intention of telling American intelligences services anything about how this information was obtained.  We also have to understand that even if they don't tell them the specifics the more they divulge the greater the chance someone will figure out who he insiders are.  As it is this whole debacle is going to expose the fact that the Russian intelligence services knew more than the Jihadists thought they did and will start to put the pieces together.  Am I saying that American politicians and intelligence people aren’t to be trusted?  
The Russians were capable of infiltrating the OSS, the precursor of the CIA at the very beginning of its existence and continued on after it became the CIA.    Considering how many spies within the CIA….theirs, and who knows who else….....why would anyone be confident about divulging information to them, or the FBI.
