Should counter-terrorism be manipulated by politicians and by the political sensitivities of security agencies?

Both Hillary and Trump are attempting to exploit the return of terrorist bombings to New York (and elsewhere in US) over the last 24 hours. http://www.nytimes.com/2016/09/20/us/politics/donald-trump-hillary-clinton.html .

The officially, only, suspect, Ahmad Khan Rahami, born in Afghanistan, seems, at a minimum, to be inspired by radical Islam and Islamic website bomb recipes.

However, Obama's federal security agency, the FBI, seem to have made snap judgements - that the situation isn't that bad because Ahmad Khan Rahami just seems to be an unbalanced criminal with no Islamic connections. The message is that Rahami's terrorist bombings are unrelated to his Muslim name or that he immigrated from Afghanistan.

"William Sweeney...of the FBI's New York field office, said they were not looking for any more suspects in the case and that they had "no indication" that a terror cell was operating in New York City." http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2016/09/19/494550583/new-york-names-person-of-interest-in-chelsea-bombing-ahmad-khan-rahami

So again - Should counter-terrorism be manipulated by politicians and by the political sensitivities of security agencies?

yes?

Obama cannot link Islam and terrorism and bureaucrats are required to do the same. For instance, Orlando,

http://www.nbcnews.com/storyline/orlando-nightclub-massacre/why-won-t-obama-say-radical-islam-n591196

There is no way in hell that Obama is going to admit the flaws and folly of his and others 'Progressive' (regressive) social experimentation.

At the same time, there is an immediate outflowing of fulsome praise where any good can be attached to 'Islam'. Usually, that is because some individual Muslim has done well for him- herself, which many would observe required that individual to step aside from the medieval limitations of Islam.

It is quite deliberate censorship that goes far beyond spin. Standard operating procedure for politicians and leftists like Obama excel at it. Favoured of course by the political correctness to which they owe so much of their personal success.

It is the antithesis of the freedom of speech that they enjoy and others fought for and is highly corrosive to democracy. As if they care, as long as their self-entitlement and greed are being well served.

Of course it will help Trump.

After the bomb went off in NY Trump mentioned the bomb going off and Clinton chastised him for referring to it as a bomb, just before having to admit it was one herself.

That it was yet another act of Islamic terrorism at the hands of a muslim immigrant played right to his message.

The alternative media is saying the attacks were a diversion to change the media narrative away from events in Syria.

Seems US security bureaucracies (eg. FBI) are high profile political entities. The NY bombing and other non-exploders Rahami set seem a major FBI failure.

This is given the bomber, Rahami, http://edition.cnn.com/2016/09/19/us/ahmad-khan-rahami/index.html made several extended trips to Afghanistan and Pakistan in 2011-2013.

And most significantly he was on a FBI list and passed security interviews with the FBI once or twice.

Biggest FBI stuffup since the Boston Marathon Bombings in 2013 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boston_Marathon_bombing#Backgrounds .

Unwelcome in Hillary's Obama sponsored Election timetable.
