what i just dont get is Brody is a powerful asset for Nazir so why would you have him do dumb shyt like this and risk getting caught?
Because terrorist cells (real ones) usually dont let one cell know about another one. That way if one of the terrorist cells get busted, they can't bring down any other ones when they talk. Remember Riya (Nazir's friend who called Brody) said that the tailor only knows Brody and nobody else. Nazir has some other operatives in the area, like his CIA mole for instance. But Nazir would never tell the mole about the tailor because that's just another link of information should one of them get caught.
Nazir involves Brody so deeply because Brody is in too deep. It not just about the kids killed in the drone strike anymore; that stopped being the issue when Brody didn't murk the Veep last season. No, the issue now is Brody doesn't want to lose his family, his newfound life, his position.
Can't anyone see that slowly but surely Brody is erasing anyone who knows about his double life? Walker was first. Sure Nazir ordered Brody to kill Walker, but all of us could see that Walker wasn't gonna let it slide that Brody didn't kill the Veep as planned. Brody wasn't gonna risk Walker going AWOL. Then the he killed the tailor because keeping him alive was too much trouble. I'm absolutely
sure that he'll kill Riya before the season is over.
