Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano says investigators did not have enough information to keep a terror suspect from boarding a flight bound for Detroit and that the system worked as it should have.
The terrorist got on board one of our planes--despite a warning from the man's father!--with a bomb, and only the failure of the bomb maker to make a working bomb or the failure of the terrorist to understand how to detonate it prevented a disaster over the skies of Michigan!
In what way was this a success? Does our "system" count on either a defective bomb or inept terrorist to work?
Heck of a job, Nappie.
UPDATE: I'm not the only one unimpressed. A better analysis. As I said initially, we got lucky that either the bomb didn't work or the terrorist screwed up detonating it. We were lucky our failure didn't result in dead people in a plane blowing up in our sky, but it was failure.
