Is this going to be an 'intelligence failure'? Is the administration going to say, "We lacked imagination that there could have been a threat?" Guess what? There is a threat.
DISTRBING FBI Director Divulges Massive ISIS Investigations Currently Being Conducted Here In The United StatesListening to Security of State John Kerry’s bazaar statement, that we are “in a period of less daily threat to America and to the people of the world”, one can’t help but wonder what type of medication the good Security is on. To say there’s a “disconnect” between what is actually taking place around the world and Kerry’s rose colored vision, is quite frankly a disturbing understatement.
And nothing can be more apparent of that fact, then what FBI Director James Comey outlined in a recent speech to law enforcement officers in Mississippi, about the unfolding threat of ISIS on the homeland, and the potential of homegrown terrorists within our mist. The Director went on to outline that the FBI has opened up “cases of suspects who may be tied to ISIS in 49 states of the United States”, he later amended that number to also include Alaska, as the 50th state.
U.S. officials have estimated that there are approximately 100 American citizens that have either gone or are going in and out of Syria to fight for ISIS, and not all of them can be identified or known to law enforcement authorities, which of course pose additional problems in identifying those that may be coming back to the homeland.

The White House did not invite the most senior American official charged with preventing terrorist attacks — the F.B.I. director, James B. Comey — to the three-day conference this week on countering violent extremism in the United States and abroad because the administration did not want the event too focused on law enforcement issues, according to senior American officials.
But Mr. Comey’s Russian counterpart — Aleksandr V. Bortnikov, the director of the Russian Federal Security Service, the post-Soviet K.G.B. — was at the meeting, even though international human rights groups have repeatedly accused the Russian security service of unjustly detaining and spying on Russians and others.
