Dem Rep: 40 American ISIS fighters have already returned to the United States

a reply to: seeker1963

Aiding a terrorist organization is a black bag offense isn't it? So what's the purpose of monitoring 40 of them versus arresting them?

Evidently not, i guess Americans have quite a bit of freedom don't you think? I think a law stating, if you go and fight for a terrorist organization then you lose your citizenship. But then we have to decide who is a terrorist organization. Not sure what bureaucratic idiot would do that and i can see where this would get muddled. One man's freedome fighter is another.... you get the gist.

By the way NSA does really good sigint. That's what they do. I'm sure the people were flagged by computers and checked when they came back. Once they are here that's the FBI's job to watch over them. Bet that's a fun job. I could imagine it costs quite a bit to cover one idiot stumbling around in his life after coming back. "Is he going to the store and buying Doritos?" or is this some kind of code?" you can almost hear the FBI guys musing about all kinds of mundane #.

Could be they are hoping those 40 will lead them to others who never left.
