I've Been Thinking:
Red flags were missed about the Paris attacks. And for some reason that I cannot understand, mainstream media has not made this information public. It is time for people to know.
These were not small flags, they were major flags.
The list is long. Here are some examples:
One of the terrorists had an international arrest warrant out on him, another was on an international watch list.
A third terrorist had missed his check-in with his official police monitor for three weeks in a row.
Some of the terrorist had been deported to Belgium from Turkey.
Turkey conveyed details of how the terrorists were involved in plans and other information. hen the terrorists arrived in Belgium they said it was untrue they were let go.
Several terrorists were members of a known terror ring in Belgium.
The French were warned by Turkey about this terrorist attack and only after the Friday night horror did France ask for details. Twice they were warned about the first suicide bomber Omar Ismael Msutafei.
Turkey named him by name. Sadly he was the first one identified as a suicide bomber.
According to the reports in Europe there were 24 people in the cell that pulled off the attacks. That included a sleeper cell in France and Belgium. The training for the attacks, run through as well as the planning took place in Raqqa Syria, which is an ISIS regional capital.
Aba'aoud, the ring leader, had bragged that he was able to enter and leave Belgium and Europe at will and without fear of being detained.
Two brothers, Saleh and Ibrahim Abdeslem, were on watch lists.
Ibrahim blew himself up in Paris that Friday night on Boulevard Volatire. Seleh his brother fled to escape. He was apprehended on Saturday, the day after, at the Belgium border and after a short interview he was released and is now in the wind.
Wow. I could not make up these details and they are only a handful of the snafus from before and after the horrific terror attack in Paris.
It is not just France and Belgium that are at fault - the entire system is not set up to stop these acts of terror.
Terror suspects are a different breed. They are not simply criminals. Countries need to apply a different set of conditions of due process.
The threshold for evidence needs to be changed and it needs to be lowered. Police should not need enough evidence for prosecutors to decide whether to charge and convict as they do with common criminals.
The only evidence they should need is the information necessary in order to follow, track
