Chipping away - Boston and freedom

Who are they protecting, us or just themselves?
How many law enforcement agencies, including immigration and the Russians, were watching the Boston Islamic Jihad Terrorists?
With the exception of the Russians, who, if you will pardon the expression, Red Flagged these two 'Chetchin' Terrorists, the whole body of the combined US, State, Local and any other jurisdiction of Governmental agency flat out failed before, and in many cases after, the terrorist's bombs blew up!
Most of these agencies are terribly inept, especially the over bloated Department of Homeland Security (DHS)!
All appear to spend much of their time, effort and energy on protecting their own turf instead of "protecting" us. They have failed and should be cut back severely or completely disbanded, i.e. DHS.
WHAT GOOD ARE THEY?! m/r

The government’s fidelity to the Constitution is never more tested than in a time of crisis. The urge to do something -- or to appear to be doing something -- is nearly irresistible to those whom we have employed to protect our freedom and to keep us safe. Regrettably, with each passing violent crisis -- Waco, Oklahoma City, Columbine, 9/11, Newtown and now the Boston Marathon -- our personal freedoms continue to slip away, and the government itself remains the chief engine of that slippage.

The American people made a pact with the devil in the weeks and months following 9/11 when they bought the Bush-era argument that by surrendering liberty they could buy safety. But that type of pact has never enhanced either liberty or safety, and its fruits are always bitter.

The Constitution is the supreme law of the land. It was written to create and to restrain the federal government. Every person who works for any government in the U.S. has taken an oath of fidelity to the Constitution, not unlike the presidential oath, which induces a promise to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution.
