Do you think heads will roll?
Clearly there was a problem that allowed ScrotoBomber to take flight on Christmas Day.

If that problem is traced to some person or group of persons, do you think heads will roll?

Do you think heads *should* roll?

2. Damn straight they should
Edited on Tue Jan-05-10 07:37 PM by eleny
All you have to do is imagine yourself or a loved one on that plane and it's clear what should happen.

Oops - forgot to answer the other question. Of course someone's head will roll. If not, the Republicans will have a field day. It's an election year, baby.

5. scapegoats will be sacrificed....
That's probably inevitable-- Americans would generally rather find someone to blame than admit the impossibility of "securing" transportation that can only exist if it carries lots of people. Frankly, the problem isn't that aircraft (or malls, stadiums, train stations, etc) are vulnerable-- it's that Americans piss off so much of the rest of the world. Folks don't like being ground under the boot heels of empire.

6. I think the personnel who had access to the info and didn't share it, or however
it fell through the cracks, should be canned. I don't think Napilotano can be made aware of every threat that comes our way -- that's what the "professionals" are there for, but she may pay because of the "the buck stops here" philosophy. :shrug:

What do you think should happen?

21. That made my old aching body put a smile up onto my face
I love my country and gave it a sizable chunk of my early youth to prove that and it breaks my heart that what is going on has been going on for quite some time. It's time we all stood up to be counted once again.

11. no and in fact some may well be promoted
But this story will last a week or so then it will be out of mind and forgotten.
But the fear will go on and on, and the official version will become the truth no matter what the real truth is.

13. Yes, I hope so. I think Obama knows who did it
Who ever kept that alert secret, probably a Cheney mole left in the CIA

17. You are probably right. I sure hope they find who did it and they are gone, gone, gone.

18. Cheney mole left in the CIA
That was my first thought.

I hope Obama is making good use of The Patriot Act and the wire tapping BS to nail Cheney's smarmy ass to the wall.

14. The info can be traced..the guy who gave it would know who
he talked to, then that person needs questioned as to who he/she told and on up the line until they hit a snag..where one says they passed the info on and the one who was supposed to receive it says they didn't. Voila! One isn't telling the truth...log books should clarify.
