You know the scariest thing about this? It’s not that the FBI is merely incompetent. It is that, apparently, so many<\/em> American Muslims in sensitive positions make contact with Al Qaeda that the FBI is forced to conduct investigatory triage and evaluate whether, in their minds, the emails are merely innocent-for-now banter or something demanding a more urgent response.<\/p>\n

Otherwise, why the blow-off? I don’t understand how the FBI could possibly deem any<\/em> chatter with Al Qaeda harmless and not worth investigating unless<\/em> so much of this was going on that they had decide which illegal chatter with a hot-war enemy was worth their limited let’s-take-a-looksie-at-this resources.<\/p>\n
