Cross,
Only the older brother went to Russia. He was not a US citizen, and therefore never had a US passport.

If you're going to try to paint this picture of an incompetent FBI, and imminent danger around every corner from radical Muslims, then at least try to get your facts straight.

Passport or not, the FBI was aware of his trip. That's my point.
And I'm not particularly trying to pain the FBI as incompetent, the article I cited is.
However I believe the reports about the internal investigations and soul searching going on and that's not me questioning their methods and effectiveness, it's them doing it.


It's also exactly what they should be doing, and I applaud them for it. Figure out what happened, and figure out what could have been done better to prevent it from happening again.

It's very possible he did nothing on his trip that would have raised red flags for anyone.

Apparently the story I first heard on NPR was incorrect.
We know about his trip to Russia now, but the FBI missed it at the time because his name was misspelled :doh:
It seems that if they had known, it would have been actionable information.
