Intel chief must go: Fire counterterror boss for staying on vacation after plane attack: "It is reported in today's Daily News that the chief of the National Counterterrorism Center was skiing on Christmas and stayed on the slopes for several days after the attempted bombing of Northwest Flight 253.
It must soon be reported, certainly by tomorrow's editions, that President Obama has given Michael Leiter all the free time he likes to schuss and slalom the slopes to his heart's delight.
Where Leiter belonged the moment he was notified that a terrorist had nearly executed an attack upon the United States was on his way back to Washington. Staying in touch by phone or by teleconference or by any other marvel of communication does not cut it following an act of war.
You can't phone in a high-alert scramble seeking evidence of a possible follow-on attack.
You can't phone in top-priority intelligence-gathering on how the plot was executed."
