We need to do some more domestic oil drilling so we don't have to treat Saudi terrorists with kid gloves.
Dang it.

that is what i said when answering the question as to why he was on that watch list
Because he was there and of middle eastern origin who is here on a visa,
Right...and an FBI hours after the bombing likely designated anyone in Boston on a temporary Visa from the Middle East known to be in attendance at the marathon as being on the "watch list" to prevent them from leaving the country.
But as far as him "having been" on a watch list prior to the Marathon...no...he was on the list for however long it took the FBI to find him at the hospital and talk to him and family.

fbi allowed this event, were in counsel with older brother.
He has copies of the DOJ paperwork. From sources inside the beaureau who are red-hot that the administration is trying to swiftly deport this Saudi under the radar. The congressmen that head the Homeland Security Commitee have the documents IN HAND.edit on 23-4-2013 by NOTurTypical because: (no reason given)

People also keep forgetting that there was a press conference scheduled that day - after there was confusion over an arrest. Some news agencies reported that officials reported there was an arrest. Then they backed down on that. Then they postponed and then cancelled the press conference - all after Obama's secret meeting with the Saudis.
Put that together with everything else, along with Napolitano evading questions and practically lying to Congress, and I'm still not convinced that SOMETHING is not wrong with this whole situation.

I know, right? Another thing I don't understand is how easily people here will quote Napolitano's testimony today as the final word, when she is clearly caught in a lie to congress last week. How can they blindly defend when they don't even know what they are defending? "It's Obama's administration, so we have to derail investigations in order to protect our dear leader!"

Um, dismissing someone or information from them because of their "bias" is a circumstantial ad hominem fallacy.;
And putting all your chips on the table defending and believing them and fox is considered patriotic or something like that? i'd rather not be one then. You just ate..it...up.... now , consider the source, again.
be a informed american ...pffff Good job there. Take some advice , press that "Off" button on your remote.

I find it funny you addressed everyone else but my post and I would think mine was the most point blank. The Saudi national was on the watch list before the bombing. That statement is really, really childish. The FBI knows who he is, the bombers, as well as the others they arrested and are currently looking for. They knew 5,2 and 6 months ago. They even knew about his trip abroad.
Napolitano firmly responded: “He was not on a watch list. What happened is — this student was, really when you back it out, he was in the wrong place at the wrong time. He was never a subject. He was never even really a person of interest. Because he was being interviewed, he was at that point put on a watch list, and then when it was quickly determined he had nothing to do with the bombing, the watch listing status was removed.” [Emphasis added]
That’s a very different statement than what Napolitano had said when questioned about the story last week when she told Rep. Duncan that his questions were ”so full of misstatements and misapprehension that it’s just not worthy of an answer”.

Here's what has me scratching my head:

When this information was reported last week Napolitano and ICE stonewalled and lied to cover this information up.

Now that congress has some of the original documents in question, she is desperately trying to reshape the story into something that can be fit into some kind of "misunderstanding" category.
Originally posted by blamethegreysHere's a couple thoughts: Is our DHS is so inept that they never watchlisted a Saudi Foreign national from a prominent terrorist family, who has SIX brothers affiliated with Al Qaeda, FIVE of whom are in Gitmo? That is insane, because this kid should have been a section 212 3B before he ever stepped foot on American soil, according

Still seems kind of odd to be put on just while he was questioned then removed right after.

Well, secular progressives have a huge problem, well two problems, Barry already stated to the American public that this was a terror attack, and the other problem is that the second bomber already told investigators that the motive was "religion".

and...man, you have no substance. This is why I told you to go read a book. The head of the DHS has told multiple stories during testimony and flat denied this guy existed. Explain that...

They had him he wasn't trying to leave. They put him on the watch list while they were interviewing him .............. Therefore this has nothing to do with him being prevented from leaving then after interviewing him they removed him. How is this not strange?
