The Preliminary Report on NW253

Jan 7, 2010

President Obama has given his remarks on the preliminary evaluation by security and intelligence officials of what allowed a suspected threatening person onto a flight on Christmas Day (from Wired.com).  A six-count indictment was issued against suspect, Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, yesterday (from CNN).  Today, a de-classified report on the incident will be released (from USA Today)  “National Security Adviser James Jones told USA TODAY’s Susan Page that Americans will feel ‘a certain shock’ at how many red flags were missed.”

There is so much to write about from this week and it is hard to try and keep up.  I’ll try to post my thoughts later!
