Emblematic of White House Press Corps

UPDATE: Charles Krauthammer: Obama's Gitmo Obsession. (emblematic of the Obama White House)**Helen Thomas Asks: Why Would Al Qaeda Want to ‘Do Us Harm?’ Video.

Related. Big Government:
Not only did the State Department not comply with all the requirements Secretary Clinton had said, but the State Department also violated United Nations Security Council Resolution 1735 by not providing the new information they received on an al-qaeda suspect to the UN. We know that State Department officials in Nigeria and Washington had the information because someone wrote a top secret cable dated November 20, 2009 explaining that Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab had ties to al-qaeda. This means that the State Department had 35 days to revoke Adbulmutallab’s visa and share the information with the UN – it failed to do either.

Had the State Department shared the cable with other U.S. agencies or given the information to the UN, as required under the Chapter 7 Resolution, all Nations would have been obligated to deny entry and freeze the assets of anyone officially on the UN’s Terrorist List.

The smoking gun is the November 20 State Department cable that wasn’t acted upon.
Emblematic of a bureaucracy that is still issuing diversity visas.

P.S. Your high school classmate, the terrorist:

My goodness, even Helen Thomas can hammer home the point ... It should be obvious to anyone interested that we have NO reasonable understanding of what's going on.

I would call the Administration's response: "denial at the highest levels." Instead of psychologizing others ... it might be time for them to look in a mirror.

Yeah. Nothing to see here. Move on administration.
