"Intelligence" chief? What "intelligence" might that be?

The head of Germany’s domestic intelligence agency said in an interview published Sunday that security officials had misjudged the Islamic State group’s ambition to sneak terrorists into Germany under the guise of asylum seekers.

In an interview with the German newspaper Welt am Sonntag, Hans-Georg Maassen, head of Germany’s Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution, or BfV, admitted there had been a “misjudgment” regarding the Islamist group’s strategy.

Intelligence officials at first believed it was unlikely that terrorists would enter Germany among migrants, he said.

“We thought that the risk was simply too high,” Maassen said according to quotes translated by DW. “Although they did not need to mix their people among the refugees, they did it.”

He described the infiltration strategy as “a show of force.”

The intelligence chief made another surprising admission – that some 70 percent of refugees entering Germany did not arrive with a valid passport and have been registered based solely on the information they provided.

“I am concerned that we (the BfV) and our partner agencies may, in fact, have information about dangerous individuals saved in our databases. However, we might fail to notice that they are here because they enter with false identities,” he said.

Maassen called the security situation in Germany “very serious” given that the Islamic State group aims to carry out attacks. At the same time, he said he had no knowledge of a concrete attack plan.

Does this ring true? Are the leaders of Germany and the other Western European nations really that stupid? This story sure makes President Twinkle Toes plan to bring in a host of Syrian refugees even more appealing than before.
