Obama team apologizes for Christmas bomber lapse

Key Obama Administration national security officials were on Capitol Hill Wednesday:


Dennis Blair (left) Director of National Intelligence.

Janet Napolitano (center) Homeland Security Secretary.

Michael Leiter (right) director of National Counterterrorism Center.

They apologized to lawmakers for failing to stop an alleged bomber with al-Qaida ties from getting on a Detroit bound flight even though U.S. intelligence had information on various aspects of the plot.

After the apologies, the only one to really take responsibility was Dennis Blair. Janet Napolitano seemed bored with the proceedings.
