Suspects? we know that the suspects got on the radar of the fbi last summer. after the fbi saw them posting very alarming things on the internet in a website that traffics in isis ideology and propaganda. they decided to introduce them to an undercover informant who then was able to record them as they talked about what their plans were. we know that, in addition to traveling to turkey and eventually to syria, if they were thwarted in those plans they were talking about air kag out attacks in the country, trying to attack president obama or kill police officers or fbi agents or even bomb coney island. one of the suspects is on these websites talking about those plans. that s what s so crazy to me. they re online. it s essentially a public forum. anybody could intercept these communications. are they talking law enforcement to take action? ....

Blowing up targets in coney island shooting police they pretty well have to move very fast. they could easily pick up guns and turn to action quickly. so it s all a question of timing. right. this investigation, we do know started over the summer. it s been ongoing for more than six months. what is that threshold for law enforcement to take action? i think i would suspect and we haven t seen this for sure, that they had a source close to these people and once they actually talked about once they had been turned away or couldn t get to syria, at that point they were probably considering making attacks in the united states and the fbi moved very quickly. it s always a balancing act for the fbi. do you let the investigation run on for years or move quickly. the fbi has gotten very good at it. but what worries them though is the lone wolf who doesn t go up on the internet doesn t go ....
It seems like this group has been exposed. there are no secrets about what they are about. they are all about the terror the horror seemingly indiscriminate. they go after women, children muslims, jewish people christian people. so how does it seem so easy for them to still recruit? because it s looking easy. i mean there will be a small number of saidists and sort of twisted individuals in many societies. what appeals to them to go here to syria and iraq they re seeing that there s almost impunity. you can go and fight there, you can kill and rape and pillage and no one is going to stop you. this will change when there s a strong military victories against isis. once they ve been killed in large numbers or being arrested and territory taken back from them that s when these hot headed young people will start thinking wait a minute maybe it s not so easy. right now it s looking too easy. ....
Can reach far beyond the immediate surroundings of the middle east into societies where you would expect people have better opportunities, exposed to a wider range of ideas than people living in some village in syria. it sort of gives the lie to the idea that only those young, disillusioned, unemployed poor arab kids are sort of suspect to this kind of ideology. it shows that the ideology can appeal. you have to assume that these are not quote-unquote people. it s not normal thinking to want to assassinate the president of the united states and become martyrs in a foreign country. there are people in all societies. thanks to communication and social media, they were able to leap over the barricades and reach these people. what s crazy, you look at the media coverage of isis in the last months and say they really came on the scene. ....
