Fair enough, I think they do. If they truly have a video of him making the drop (as they say they do), what would it hurt?

They will need the video for trial, if they release it now theres a high possibility it would hamper obtaining a jury. ALL of the videos will be discoverable by the defense.

He will only be facing the death penalty if the prosecution pushes for the death penalty. I think it likely that the prosecution will not seek the death penalty.

So we can feed & house him for 60 more years. Sounds like he will have a long vacation with all things free.......America.

Hardly a vacation. But, yes, housing and feeding you are correct.

I'm fully aware that in certain sections of different prisons there can be very dangerous places to one's health. But a lot of inmates have some freedoms to move about within those walls when let out to eat & exercise. My son's cell had a TV in it or so he said. But while he was in he did a lot of reading books to past the time.

I have no problem with this; but, if you put a dollar amount on the worth of a human life, then I guess you could have an argument.

You can put a dollar amount to incarceration for 60 years and a dollar amount for executing, and I bet they are about equal, if not more to execute.

The blame game is cautiously underway, with Rep. King sending a letter to FBI asking for information on what the FBI knew about the older brother and their interviews of him.

People need to understand that its very difficult for law enforcement (and I am using that phrase here with respect to the FBI and this particular context) to prevent crime. For the most part, the LE community can just react to it as it happens, or gather evidence afterwards. I mean, if they interview him and he says he is a devout Muslim but has no intentions of hurting anyone, he wants to be a US citizen, and he wants to be on the US boxing team, what are they supposed to do with that?

How much does he have to say before they take action? What if he just says something like "I think America is too involved in the mid-East, but I don't plan to do anything about it, this is where I live"? What if he says "I think the US should get out of Afghanistan"? Is that enough?

What if he says "I am not critical of terrorism against America, I understand it and sympathize with it. But I have no plans to do it myself"?

Where is the line? You can't quantify it. And there isn't some specific criteria that tells you who is, and who is not, a threat.

The 9/11 hijackers probably would have said the same thing. You don't go on the interview material, but whatever intelligence is available about what they were doing.

Christ...look at dudes Facebook and Youtube pages. I suspect the ball was dropped by somebody here.

Words and associations should be enough to trigger investigation and maintain some level of awareness. Then if you see actions that you can tie into preparation for an attack, you must act. We've done it enough that it shouldn't be too much of an issue.
