Just got off the phone with the US and listening to the stories circulating around all the Merkel refugee mistakes and how the German security services failed....comments coming from Trump voters....BTW....

ALL comments are flying around in the States with absolutely no understanding of what actually is ongoing in Berlin...........

While we have the FBI....the Germans have their own Federal FBI...and Berlin Regional FBI....have their own version of MI5 WHICH we the US do not have and that in every German regional State....then they have a Special Police unit called Staatsschutz in every Regional State........

ALL tied to their German CIA which has an internal NSA.....AND tied as well to the German military CI.....

They probably have their Salafist scene in Germany under far better surveillance than the US does....especially our own home grown terrorists...and they are using largely Muslim officers for this......

Part of the problem or what is being called security failures in the States is really the Germans holding tightly to the rule of law built after Hitler...they would rather err on the side of the rule of law instead of running it into the ground as we have often done in the US especially with Gitmo....
