Bowdlerize. That's a word I had not heard before. According to the dictionary, it means
to expurgate (a written work) by removing or modifying passages considered vulgar or objectionable.
Michael Mukasey was the Director of the F.B.I. from 2007-2009. He says the F.B.I. under Obama "has bowdlerized its training materials to exclude references to militant Islamism." That is Absurd!
Mukasey wants to know who funded older brother Tamarlen Tsarnaev's lavish, comfortable lifestyle, traveling to Russia and staying for months, driving a Mercedes, all the while being unemployed!
Mukasey writes in The Wall Street Journal
Did he have a support network? What training did he, and perhaps his younger brother, receive in the use of weapons? Where did the elder of the two learn to make the suicide vest he reportedly wore? The investigation should include as well a deep dive into Tamerlan's radicalization, the Islamist references in the brothers' social media communications, and the jihadist websites they visited.
Mukasey asks,
Will the investigation probe as well the FBI's own questioning of Tamerlan two years ago at the behest of an unspecified foreign government, presumably Russia, over his involvement with jihadist websites and other activities? Tamerlan Tsarnaev is the fifth person since 9/11 who has participated in terror attacks after questioning by the FBI. He was preceded by Nidal Hasan; drone casualty Anwar al Awlaki; Abdulhakim Mujahid Muhammad (born Carlos Leon Bledsoe), who murdered an Army recruit in Little Rock in June 2009; and David Coleman Headley, who provided intelligence to the perpetrators of the Mumbai massacre in 2008. That doesn't count Abdulmutallab, who was the subject of warnings to the CIA that he was a potential terrorist.
