Abundant tweets about civil liberties & national security. "Has a longer memory than an elephant & keeps more records than Jim Comey.” Legendary potty mouth.

    Here's another possibly stupid question: Why do we never consider the Chechen tie could be organized crime, not Islamic terror?

        @emptywheel It's damn easy to criticize journalists struggling with a massive breaking story from the comfort of your desk chair.

        @MaryLizShaw Sorry: How is an admittedly out of the box question criticism? I AM criticizing CNN, but they've done dangerous things.

        @emptywheel Organized crime violence usually targets individuals. I don't see a OC-like motivation here.

        @emptywheel I hope this isn't related to anything Islamic, but what possible benefit would a criminal enterprise get from doing this?

        @emptywheel Under the covers it's all about porn, prostitution, and/or money so is there really a difference?

        @emptywheel Bit of an odd thing for organized criminals to do though.

        @emptywheel You mean like a shakedown of the Boston Marathon and this is the penalty for refusing to pay for protection?
