There are always going to be suicidal mad man. al-Qaeda's business plan is to use them to kill us.
National Counterterrorism Center (NCTC) is political dynamite.
Bushie sycophant Michael Leiter burned $500-MM. To Boeing and other "connected" contractors.
His RAILHEAD PROJECT screwed NCTC. Failed to match Mr. Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab. Damn near lost Northwest Flight 253 and 289 people.
RAILHEAD misses thousands of matches.
K.I.S.S.: fix the older TIDE No Fly List system.
-- Turns out, what TIDE needs is tight input feeds.
-- A former editor of Harvard Law Review, Leiter NEVER ASKED FOR HELP.
-- NEVER scoped upgrading TIDE in the current environment.
-- These input feeds are already coded. Office of Intelligence at the F.B.I. put the input logic into a Department of Justice Informatica PowerCenter system.
-- That works !
Give TIDE and RAILHEAD to O of I.
Hey there, Obama Administration: I coded a working Oracle 1-terabyte search system for Africa-EU-ME -- during two NFL games.
Abdulmutallab ??? No problem. Including getting him from commercial and visa sources WITHOUT USING HIS NAME.
Leadership problem, 100%.
NY Times slams RAILHEAD and Leiter. MBTF :::
