The FBI had spoken to Tamerlan Tsarnaev before the Boston bombing, but they did not stop his radicalization. Was this a breakdown of security or just the necessary part of maintaining our freedom? Retired FBI Tim Clemente speaks about the ways that Islamic radicalization can recruit men to terrorism.
GUEST BIO:

In his undercover persona as a drug smuggler, Tim worked on long-term narcotics and organized crime investigations in the US, Colombia, and Venezuela, targeting and taking down members of the notorious Cali Cartel.

On the streets of one of the most violent cities in the US, he received multiple commendations for bravery and exceptional performance of duty.
