Thread: More faceless, nameless bureaucrats spin the crotch bomber debacle

I guess they had to let him on the plane before they knew whether he had enough PETN to blow a hole in it.

The official, who could not speak on the record because of the sensitive nature of the information, said the elder Abdulmutallab was deemed credible as a source, but did not have enough specific information to justify canceling his son's U.S. visa or putting him on a "no-fly" list.

"If we pulled his visa or banned him from flying, that would have alerted him you are onto him," the official said. "Whereas in some cases if you have a terror lead, you watch to see what happens when he travels, which could be more valuable." In addition, the official said, it was "fairly early in the process of what kind of threat this guy poses."

and Napolitano is as useless as tits on a boar hog. another one of obamas useless lackeys.

Spies are watched, not arrested. Kind of works the same way here. You too may die at the hands of a terrorists. Get used to the idea and deal with life as if today is your last day because it very well might be. Either that, or go live in a cave and roll a big rock in front of the entrance. These guys, who believe they are doing God's Will, are here to stay for at least my lifetime and probably yours. The sooner you learn to deal with the threat they pose rationally, the sooner you can get on with what's rest of your life because we are all terminal, only the length is variable.

nObamma will not allow our policies to upset his muslim brothers.....

He's not a spy, dipstick. He's aterrorist. He was trying to murder 300 people. You don't let someone with a bomb get onto a plane. The claim that Homeland security planned it that way doesn't pass the laugh test.

So instead of doing something about terrorism, we should just accept the fact that they are going to kill us? And for what end, to protect their imaginary civil rights?

They are here to stay only because nimrods like you believe we shouldn't do anything to stop them.

They have always been here and they will continue to be here. They have simply changed weapon,s and our open and profane society both allows for their actions and offends their fundamental values. What BTW, would you do about it? I can't wait to hear this.

See if you stopped people from getting on airlines, or locked them up, on some one's say so or posting on web-site, all of you conservatives who say "Obama will destroy America", or ""Obama is a muslim", or "Obama is going to take away our liberty", then you would lock up or stop from flying almost the entire clientele of AWE

How about keeping somebody off a plane who paid cash for a ticket and brought no baggage and was brought to the attention of the US intelligence community by his own father months ago, and was on the B list, but not the A list?

While I agree they are here to stay it seems the main policy of the liberals is to DO NOTHING.

The truth is more like don't throw out the baby with the bathwater. If your ideals can't stand up even taller when people get killed by terrorism, and that terrorism was made easier by having a multi-cultural open society, then your ideals are shit and you might as well junk them and live in a Police-State where the authorities know everything about you and thought-crimes are as good as real ones. The safest ways to live are nothing like freedom. Freedom means the chance of getting dead when someone uses it against you. You don't want to take that chance, then you can't be free and you can't allow anyone else to be free either. That is too high a price to pay for few terrorist deaths here or there, way too high.
