The Russian newspaper Izvestia (4/24) reported that during his 2012 trip to Russia, Tamerlan Tsarnaev attended a conference sponsored by the Fund of Caucasus, which cooperates with the U.S. organization Jamestown [Jamestown Foundation], a nonpartisan DC based research organization. The paper reported that the July 2012 conferences and others like it are used to recruit intelligence assets to gain information and influence in the Caucasus region. The United States and regional ally Georgia compete with Russia to win the favor of peoples and regional powers for energy transport and exploitation. (Image)
Izvestia reported that this information came from the Republic of Georgia Ministry of Internal Affairs Counterintelligence Department. The Fund of Caucasus denied any connection to Tamerlan and the other allegations from in the Izvestia article.

(1,782 posts)unfortunately it makes sense.
The MSM coverage of this whole thing has been too "feel bad now, feel good now," just like 9/11. The "feel bad" part wasn't the news media -- it was so horrid that there was no need to exaggerate. But after Dzokhar's capture it just felt like too much of "Aren't the police just wonderful?" Well, maybe they were just wonderful, but it was just eerie.

(2,730 posts)support in the Syrian Civil War? I also wonder what they meant about U.S. atrocities in Iraq and Afghanistan. I think it depends of which sect of Islam you support. The U.S. has supported both sides at one time or another. The U.S. don't trust the Russians and the Russians don't trust the U.S. when it comes to each others Terrorists.
