So how exactly did the FBI interview with Tamerlan Tsarnaev go...
after the Russians warned the US that Tsarnaev might becoming a radical?
FBI agent: Mr. Tsarnaev, how are you today?
Tsarnaev: fine
FBI agent: do you ever chant "Death to America"?
Tsarnaev: no
FBI agent: how do you feel about Israel and the issue of Palestinians?
Tsarnaev: I believe in the two-state solution and Israel should stop the settlements
FBI agent: do you ever feel like killing Americans?
Tsarnaev: no
FBI agent: what is your favorite color?
Tsarnaev: blue
FBI agent: are you making any bombs?
Tsarnaev: no
FBI agent: how about the Patriots this year?
Tsarnaev: they have a chance at the Super Bowl
FBI agent: do you ever feel like killing Americans?
Tsarnaev: no
FBI agent: how do you feel about the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan?
Tsarnaev: they were strategic blunders that cost the US heavily
FBI agent: do you ever feel like killing Americans?
Tsarnaev: no
FBI agent: Do you love America?
Tsarnaev: yes
FBI agent: Do you love your mom?
Tsarnaev: yes
FBI agent: Do you love baseball?
Tsarnaev: yes
FBI agent: Do you love apple pie?
Tsarnaev: yes
FBI agent: do you ever feel like killing Americans?
Tsarnaev: yes... I mean no.
FBI agent: all right, thank you very much. Good day.
And so they just left him alone, and no one in the FBI was ever alerted that he traveled to Dagestan, the disturbed region of Russia, rife with Islamic extremism, in 2012? I find this hard to believe.
But of course it's just absurd to think the CIA connection to Tsarnaev means anything: http://backchannel.al-monitor.com/index.php/2013/04/5090/former-cia-officer-absurd-to-link-uncle-of-boston-suspects-agency-over-daughters-brief-marriage/
