        Sounds like the source is an agency with rules about what it collects on US persons.

        MAYBE. Why would you collect from CIA or DIA instead of FBI, tho? Besides FBI would include white nationalist terrorists, I mean

        It's just peculiar. We know who these guys are... because of all the press. Which is a tad ironic.

        I think you're probably right. Which mean we can FOIA the TLAs and see which one believes these are the only terrorist attacks

        @wrstew5150 strange that all the foreign names are written in full and the us names are blanks. Maybe written by an Arab ?

        and "San Bernadino" rather than "Bernardino" - but 50% of all media outlets did the same. They should hire (more) copyeditors

        for someone who cares so much about how people look and dress, you would think the billionaire @POTUS would get an editor.
