OK, let's do some wild discussion without knowing all the facts yet.
The latest I read i a dutch online newspaper is that the two guys (one of whom is dead now) ar brothers from probably Chechnya who had military experience. And who were legally in the US since a year or so.
So there is a tremendous continuously ongoing intelligence effort in the west (especially in the US) and big security measure in place everywhere.
We all know what we have to go through when boarding a plane, especially when travelling to the US. But this is only a small part.
Before boarding we now have to fill in a long questionaire which has to be send to the US amabassy at least so many weeks before flying etc. (and this is only security when flying)
So how is it that two guys from the Kaukasus (a place known for it being full of terrorists and sympathisers) with millitary experience, apparantly can get a residence permit to come and live in the US, legally?
If I want for example to take a 10 month holiday for traveling through the US, I can't. They wont give me a permit.....there is a tourist visum but that is for 6 months.
And yes I have been always incredibly critical of GW Bush here on the lounge.....but this is Obama time now.......and it seems he didn't learn to much
