The CIA Black Sites were free to carry out drone strikes based on what was being learned in the torture sessions.
The FBI learns about a person of interest and it turns into a killing?
I think this has a lot to do with the potential of suicide bombers. The guy should not be dead.
Whatever came into play to accept a handwritten confession from him anyway? That is acceptable FBI policy? No handcuffs with ride to the headquarters, just, "Sure, here's a pen. No can state this is harassed either." Like. What the hell?
Then the guy ends up dead? Multiple wounds and now the FBI believes his father might be linked to something?
This is either the biggest Chechen Mafia organization in the world or
there is something very wrong here. All of a sudden everyone is a
suspect. If that were the case, the FBI needs to investigate
racketeering and not just a bombing.
I think the FBI internal investigations need to have a second outside, autonomous and anonymous review of the findings to be sure the agency is conducting their own shootings without bias. And not the CIA. An autonomous independent review board unknown to anyone at the FBI. I don't like the way any of this sounds. I don't want the FBI to cause a war.

...“The F.B.I. takes very seriously any shooting incidents involving our
agents, and as such we have an effective, time-tested process for
addressing them internally,” a bureau spokesman said.
But if such internal investigations are time-tested, their outcomes are
also predictable: from 1993 to early 2011, F.B.I. agents fatally shot
about 70 “subjects” and wounded about 80 others — and every one of those
episodes was deemed justified, according to interviews and internal
F.B.I. records obtained by The New York Times through a Freedom of
Information Act lawsuit.
The last two years have followed the same pattern: an F.B.I. spokesman
said that since 2011, there had been no findings of improper intentional
shootings....
... Occasionally, the F.B.I. does discipline an agent. Out of 289 deliberate
shootings covered by the documents, many of which left no one wounded,
five were deemed to be “bad shoots,” in agents’ parlance — encounters
that did not comply with the bureau’s policy, which allows deadly force
if agents fear that their lives or those of fellow agents are in danger.
A typical punishment involved adding letters of censure to agents’
files. But in none of the five cases did a bullet hit anyone....
