Former CIA officer: ‘Absurd’ to link uncle of Boston suspects, Agency

[dkf]

Retired CIA officer Graham Fuller confirmed to Al-Monitor Saturday that his daughter was previously married to an uncle of the suspects in the Boston Marathon attacks, but called rumors of any links between the uncle and the Agency “absurd.”

Graham Fuller’s daughter, Samantha A. Fuller, was married to Ruslan Tsarnaev (now Tsarni) in the mid-1990s, and divorced in 1999, according to North Carolina public records. The elder Fuller had retired from the agency almost a decade before the brief marriage.

“Samantha was married to Ruslan Tsarnaev (Tsarni) for 3-4 years, and they lived in Bishkek for one year where Samantha was working for Price Waterhouse on privatization projects,” Graham Fulller told Al-Monitor by email Saturday. “They also lived in our house in [Maryland] for a year or so and they were divorced in 1999, I believe.”

“I, of course, retired from CIA in 1987 and had moved on to working as a senior political scientist for RAND,” Fuller continued.

Fuller said his former son in law was interesting but homesick, and moved back to Central Asia after the divorce.

1. Well this is wild and crazy!!!

2. Yes, fascinating. But can someone please explain

...what the government supposedly gets out of bombing the Boston marathon?? Certainly nothing good so far. The intelligence agencies might end up with a black eye for not sharing info like they're supposed to be doing ever since DHS was very expensively set up, but I don't see that as a 'win' result.

3. You are not looking at this the right way...

The CIA, FBI 'blackeye' of information disorganization is something that needs to 'fixed'. Now citizens will gladly give up privacy rights in order to be safer from nefarious 'others'.

Get thee hence back to AJ and freeperville. You need re-edjamakation.

This post is in no way to be taken seriously

4. You're right

I don't see how the same people who were so skeered after 9/11 that they fell on their knees before the "Patriot" Act and worshiped Bush** for breaking laws to make this country a Big Brother Security State can turn around now and accuse the government of staging a false flag attack...to infringe on people's privacy rights.

Re-edjamakation? I'd need a lobotomy to understand it!
