If there was any breakdown i could analyze, it is that, typically, the argument is that they would share information. In this case, the fbi did. It would be an issue of locals sharing it with their counterparts. The model, when it works well, works well. Sometimes you have breakdowns. I went say it broke down in that case, but if there was, it was on the part of the locals. Is there any reason to think that these guys were activated ordered it to do this . Or was itself inspired . Rep. Mccaul it is a matter of semantics. What they were trying to do was activate through calls to arms over the internet.
