FBI was told agent Headley was double agent
David Headley; who took the name Daood Gihlani; was, in fact, a double agent for the group Lashkar-i-Taiba against the US. Two of Headley's three wives told the FBI about this but their information was ignored. This left him free to scout various locations for terrorist attacks and allowed the sickening slaughter in Mumbai (Bombay). This is covered on Al-Jazeera http://blogs.aljazeera.net/americas/2010/10/17/feds-headley-was-informant

Why is it that this is receiving so little coverage in the US? It is as if the MSM has taken a vow to downplay the stupidity and parochialism of the US Intelligence services.

Mind you DU should not be too annoyed with the MSM, because it has been reported in Latest Breaking News at least twice and sunk with little or no trace.

Here are the 2 threads

Media bias or pop culture-educated zombie populace?

The FBI successfully captured those dangerous Peace Activists in Minnesota.
It is a matter of priorities.
