NCTC director Michael Leiter remained on ski slopes after Christmas Day airline bombing attempt: "WASHINGTON - The top official in charge of analyzing terror threats did not cut short his ski vacation after the underwear bomber nearly blew up an airliner on Christmas Day, the Daily News has learned.
Michael Leiter, director of the National Counterterrorism Center since 2007, decided not to return to his agency's 'bat cave' nerve center in McLean, Va., until several days after Christmas, two U.S. officials said.
'People have been grumbling that he didn't let a little terrorism interrupt his vacation,' said one of the sources.
The NCTC, the post-9/11 clearinghouse for intelligence to detect terror plots against the U.S., is under intense scrutiny for failing to 'connect the dots' on Nigerian bomber Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab."
