If the underpants bomber was indeed an intentional slip-up in security...

[berni_mccoy]

it means treason by whomever committed it.

Obama is supposed to give a presser on the investigation tomorrow and there is talk that this bomber was intentionally allowed to board. If so, who do you suppose was behind it?

I have to admit, I had thoughts like this when I found out that the bomber had his passport pulled but I didn't want to sound like I was a tin-foiler. Now I've got it wrapped tightly on... waiting to see what develops.

1. "talk that this bomber was intentionally allowed to board"

Who's saying that?

6. It'd be fairly easy for the Company to arrange this

And there are people in it who'd like nothing better than to take our current president down by falsely implying he's lax on security.

2. If true it gives the 9/11 LIHOP fans some ammunition.

5. Let's see.....Cheney's people.

Remnants of his evil empire he left behind.

Hersh: Cheney ‘Left A Stay Behind’ In Obama’s Government...

HERSH: I’ll make it worse. I think he’s put people left. He’s put people back. They call it a stay behind. It’s sort of an intelligence term of art. When you leave a country and, you know, you’ve driven out the, you know, you’ve lost the war. You leave people behind. It’s a stay behind that you can continue to contacts with, to do sabotage, whatever you want to do.Cheney’s left a stay behind. He’s got people in a lot of agencies that still tell him what’s going on. Particularly in defense, obviously. Also in the NSA, there’s still people that talk to him. He still knows what’s going on. Can he still control policy up to a point? Probably up to a point, a minor point. But he’s still there. He’s still a presence.

19. WoW!!

While I divert the inspectors with my incredible body (sans breasts, thanks to cancer); just think how many terrorists can sneak on the plane, while said inspectors try to figure out just what the hell they are looking at.

12. Then Kurt Haskell threads should be REMOVED from the dungeon...

Where the implication is, and always has been, that the people asking questions are CRAZIES.

[avaistheone1]

17. I agree.

I think Kurt Haskell's claims may well be legitimate. Consider the fact Seymour Hersh, a Pulitzer Prize winner journalist, has gone on the record saying the Cheney and his stay-behinds are capable of sabotage.

16. Obama is "STEAMED".

Everyone who was making excuses should have been steamed too. I certainly was.
