Another dropped ball by our federal government

A suicide bomber strikes again in Jerusalem. Who knows the intimate details sooner? The FBI or the New York City Police Department? You win the prize if you say the Police Department. The department has NYC police officers serving in seven foreign cities from Singapore to Montreal. Their job is to funnel anything about terrorist attacks back to Manhattan so that the police there can be better prepared. You might ask why can’t the FBI do the same thing. After all, New York has been a prime terrorist target and is likely still one. Shouldn’t the feds be as proactive as the city police? What is the federal government doing for its citizens?
