Should the president have spoken sooner?


 


Well, I think those decisions -- I'm going to leave that to the White House. I think he had Secretary Napolitano out there speaking, and I think she clarified that one of... the statement she made yesterday. I understood it, I understood what she was talking about. I don't think any of...right thinking person unless you were very, very partisan 1 actually believed that Secretary Napolitano thought the system worked. Obviously, it was flawed. I think what she was referring to was that after the incident occurred, there are certain procedures and protocols 2 that ou put in place. That worked smoothly 3.


 


But obviously when you have somebody who's on the counterterrorism... who's on the watch list who has bought a one-way ticket, paid cash and his father, his father shows up at the counselor 4 office, a reputable businessman and says I think my son's gone radical 5, all these pieces -- all these warning signals portrait..create a puzzle, a picture that is very threatening and nobody did anything about it. It kind of reminds me of what happened in the Hasan case about six, eight weeks ago. When you had different bits and pieces of information and nobody's is connecting them. There's enough there to tell you this is potentially a very dangerous situation but nobody is communicating.
