There should be nothing like "minimal contact" when it comes to the threat of radical Islamist! Any contact with radicals is major threats, no further questions! Send them to the Caliphate or to Gitmo!! Strip them of all rights and also anyone who knew and kept quiet!
Dude, none of us know what is in the heart of another. I am sure there are murderers, pedophiles, wife beaters racists among the people we may have spoken to and even break bread with. They do not tell you they are horrible creatures. Contact here is considered minimal.The FBI has a responsibility to make the distinction otherwise the law falls apart. If the contacts tell you and you of their intent and criminal bent and you do not inform the authorities then and only then you have crossed a threshold in the law.
No, but that fact he was in contact, albeit not frequent, with a suicide bomber, he should be deemed high risk. It means he was in deep but being clever.
I do not second guess the FBI. They said the contact is they went to the same high school and attended the same mosque. I guess that is "deep" contact for you.
