Tamerlan left the United States in January 2012 for Russia and returned in mid-July, according to records uncovered by NBC in New York.

But an official inside the Department of Homeland Security with knowledge of federal law enforcement activities in Massachusetts has claimed to MailOnline that Tamerlan was on the radar screen of agents in Boston between his return to the U.S. and the end of the fall.

The source, who has been contradicted by other officials, said that in 2012 federal law enforcement received tips from inside a Boston mosque about young Muslims, including some converts, who were becoming radicalized into anti-American zealots as their knowledge of their religion grew.

Tamerlan was allegedly one of those radicals, and attracted the attention of an informant working with an agency attached to the Boston-area Joint Terrorism Task Force (JTTF). That informant communicated observations about the man to a government handler, the source said.

This also sounds like the bomber didn't participate in any electronic comunications about his mission, or DHS was in wait and see mode.

They knew their names prior to releasing the photos, simple basic non-partisan fact.

The photos were probably released soon after they had reasonable beliefe, of who the suspects were.

The brother's were obviously idiots and were so deluded they thought they'd somehow sit it out until things cooled down...or they didn't give a fuck. Probably some combination of the two.

They had plenty of time to clear datum if they were prepared and decided to leave.

Census to Count Arabs as White, Despite Write-In Campaign  

 
 The Census Bureau says it doesn’t matter if Arab Americans write their race in on their Census questionnaire.  

 Even if they check the “other” box and write in “Arab,” as many community groups advocate, the Census will still count them as racially white.  

“Anyone from Europe, North Africa or the Middle East [will be classified] as white,” said Roberto Ramirez, chief of the ethnicity and ancestry branch at the Census Bureau.  

 Ramirez said that will be the case no matter how many people write in “Arab,” because the Census Bureau is required by law to use racial categories determined by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), and those categories do not include Arab.  

 Advocates for including Arab as a race say they will press on with their write-in campaign however. Census regulations provide that any organization can request its own special tabulation providing a formal count of write-ins.  

“As with any write-in option, it is not comprehensive enough to be published as a ‘count,’ but it will provide us with important trends and estimates of the proportion of people of Arab ancestry who do not identify with the white race classification,” said Helen Samhan, the executive director of the Arab American Institute, which plans to order a special count.

A few facts:  Jews are not a race, but a religion only, although there are some genetic similarities among some segments.  In general, because of intermarriage, Jews take on the ethnic and genetic characteristics of the general population around them.  Thus, there are Jews of all races, including blacks.  Take a look at the current Miss Israel, who is Ethiopian.
As for the bombers, who are from the Caucasus Mountains, it's useful to point out that the word Caucasian itself derives from that location.  So in that sense they are as "white" as it gets.

They are the two most hung up about race around here, and I am willing to bet they are both so white you need shades to protect yourself from the glare if you were to ever see them in the sunshine.

As for Miss Israel, yeah I'd do her.

I should have said most Israeli's  consider themselves white ,  even the almond colored .
Last time I was in Israel I noticed  50 /50  pleasantly dark ,  and white  .

  I would love  to  take a closer look at Miss Israel to make sure she's not hiding a tan  .  :-D

  The Caucasus mountains are as white as it gets because of the snow , the Boston bombers are not pale face whites by  any stretch .  They are ruthless terrorists with no compassion , like some white American heroes .   http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-BszqbOQGmSs/T_PTnXoUxuI/AAAAAAAAAWU/ifOK_QhKr4M/s1600/andrewJackson.jpg

Pliny the Elder's Natural History (AD 77-79) derives the name of the Caucasus from the Scythian kroy-khasis (“ice-shining, white with snow”). From this Greeks called it Καύκασος (Kaukasos).[1]

I've heard being Jewish is religious, historical, cultural, and identity. Is it one, some of the above, or all of the above?

The best term I've heard is ethno-religious. Jews identify themselves as members of a religious affiliation, but also ancestral heritage.

Look at wikipedia, specifically the early years and education section. They will say something like, "inicky was born to a Jewish family", or a Russian Jewish family", you don't see that with other religions. So it would assume the definition of a Jew is much more than just religion.

Buy hey, I'm just a WASP.

I'm not an expert but I don't think there's unanimity on the question.  For example, if you asked the High Rabbi of Israel (or whatever the top religious title is), he'd probably say I'm not a Jew because though I was born of Jewish parents I had no Bris and no Bar Mitzvah and never have practiced the relgion.  But the ultimate arbiter is my question: "What would Hitler say?"
As for me, I dislike all religions equally.

I've never been to Israel but I know the population there is made up of two major groups: Ashkenazic Jews, or those derived from European ancestors; and Sephardic Jews, or those derived from North African or Arabic forebears.  The former are what we'd call "white," the latter are dark-skinned. Etheopian Jews, like Miss Israel, are a small minority.
As for your statement that the Caucasus are white because of the snow, that's got nothing to do with it being the basis of the descriptor for the Caucasian race, which refers to members being "of the Caucasus."

I dislike the ones that butt into my life more than the others. Shintoism, The Wiccans and  those that worship the Great Pumkin have no impact on my life, and while I find them equally ridiculous, I don't have anything against their members. Christianity and Islam are the two I have the biggest hard on for, and to a lesser degree the Jewish religion.

What sets them apart is the fact that the disputes between the three have the potential to end life on this planet, all over "my version of God is the only TRUE one" please just put them all in a giant octagon and let me shoot whichever one ends up being the last one standing. Then we can go back to better reasons to kill each other, like land or oil, or pussy or gold, or anything else besides some dumb ass fairy tale written by people who were POSITIVE the world was flat.
