Related post from James Joyner, noting the analogy to the “Bush was briefed!” claims. “There?s room to criticize the administration?s response to the crisis, most notably DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano?s idiotic insistence that ‘the system worked.’ But the idea that the president was somehow supposed to stop the underwear bomber based on vague intelligence of an increased terrorism risk over the holidays is unreasonable.”

UPDATE: Spy chiefs turn on President Obama after seven CIA agents are slaughtered in Afghanistan.
