Last year we noted that a Congressional investigation revealed that Homeland Security‘s „anti-terrorism fusion centers“ were a complete joke. They created no useful intelligence, even though they cost a ton of taxpayer money, and they regularly violated American‘s civil liberties. In the wake of the Boston bombings, then, it might be useful to wonder how much the local fusion centers were involved in the process — especially since the FBI had been aware of Tamerlan Tsarnaev and had interviewed him. Well… it turns out that the FBI didn‘t bother to share that with the fusion center.
