The Best Men In the CIA are Women:

From this story, discussing being a "spy" with Lindsay Moran who is on twitter @lindsaymoran. 

One point that Moran makes that I partially disagree with is that the drone strikes in other countries creates domestic terrorists.  While Moran is making this reference originally regarding Yemen, she goes on to attach the Boston bombers to the outcome of creating "Terrorists".

In nations such as Pakistan and Yemen, there is a high likelihood that drone strikes contribute to the joining or inculcation of terrorist organizations or their ideology/narrative.  A narrative we have limited ability to effect having little foot print inside these nations and limited ability to communicate on a wider platform.  Such narratives are invariably geographically "local", thus, local events like drone strikes impact the local narrative.

My objection is explicitly to the reference of the Boston bombers.  While Tamerlan Tsarnaev expresses the world view of global jihad and attacks against Muslims, his ideas are far ranging and not necessarily or directly impacted by these events.  Except possibly the death of Al Alawki who is reported to be one of Tsarnaev's inspirations and was killed by a drone strike.

The issue is that both Tamerlan Tsarnaev and his brother Dzhokhar had other, local and personal issues that drove them to an act of terror.  In fact, the brothers seemed only to have settled on an act inside the United States when they were unable to reach or join their intended group in the Caucasus. 

Tamerlan went expressly looking to join this group in January 2011.  He was thwarted essentially by FSB activity that eliminated his contact.  Fear and familial pressure from his father drove him back to the United States in June 2011. 

Dzhokhar in March 2011 tweet had originally informed his acquaintainces he was going to go "home" (to Dagestan).  He later tweeted that there was a problem with his passport and he would be unable to go.  This suggests that he was intending to join his brother, but events prevented him from going. 

Whether the issue was actually a problem with his passport or something else remains to be validated.  What can't be missed is that both men had been slowly identifying with their "heritage" and focusing on going "over there". 

Since Russia is not the perpetrator of these drone attacks, it is hard to fathom how US activities on this directly lead to the brothers' acts on US soil.  Acts which are best described as the Tsarnaev brothers' "plan B" to go on jihad.

Therefore, directly relating drone strikes that necessarily occur "over there" and have greater "local impact" (ie in the country it occurs in) to domestic terrorist plots is pushing a narrative that is not validated by the example case.
