FOXNews.com - Intel Chief Admits Dropping Ball on Christmas Plot, 'New Mistake' Inevitable: "Director of National Intelligence Dennis Blair, in a candid assessment of what went wrong before and after the attempted bombing of a Northwest Airlines flight on Christmas, said he had wrongly caved to external 'pressure' to trim the no-fly list and even admitted the intelligence community would probably drop the ball in the future.
The visibly frustrated director spoke Wednesday alongside other top officials in a hearing before the Senate Homeland Security Committee. The intelligence director as well as Michael Leiter, director of the National Counterterrorism Center, both said at the outset that the system failed and they are making changes to correct it."
