This was a total non sequitur. Ridge issued a terror warning based on information that the administration had for weeks. This information was on terrorist computer files that were last accesed in January by anyone connected with that computer and the information was a program terrorists had before 9/11 and not more recent.. In order to try to justify this dubious terror warning they disclosed this information putting their best spin on it and protected the identity of the person briefing the reporters but released the name of the mole allowing terrorists to escape. I think Democrats should apologize for not impeaching these incompetent American hating *********s.
