Via Sky News:
I see the hand of Axelrod and Emanuel here trying to deflect criticism leveled, justly, against Comrade Zero, Goose Stepper Napolitano and Al Qaeda's in house counsel, Eric Holder.
But don't worry, like Midnight Rider adroitly conveys below, TSA is on the prowl and alas, we are "safe"!!!!

Did UK Pass or Not Pass The Intel?
Update 1:
MI5 told US about Detroit bomber's terror links 'a year ago'...see here.
Fausta has some excellent reporting on the matter here.
Via Sky News:Gordon Brown's official spokesman has admitted that British intelligence officials did not pass any information on the alleged Detroit plane bomber to US authorities.This is getting murkier by the minute? Did MI5 drop the ball? Didn't they reject his re-entry into the UK? Why would PM Brown even permit the hint of this in light of his upcoming probable smashing by the Tories and James Cameron? Or in light of the manner his wife and he have been treated by the Obamas?
It follows reports that the White House accused the spokesman making a "mistake" when he appeared to confirm the UK told the US that Umar Farouk Abdul Mutallab had links to extremists over a year ago.
During a briefing to journalists, the Prime Minister's spokesman said: "There is no suggestion the UK passed intelligence to the US that they did not act on."
But Sky's political correspondent Joey Jones said it had been an "awful" briefing.
"He tried to clear things up but only succeeded in muddying the waters still further," Jones said.
"After he read Downing Street's statement, the spokesman said there would be no further comment on intelligence issues.
"However, he did then comment, saying: 'Whatever information was passed to the US, they did what they needed to do with it.'"
The alleged bomber, 23, is in US custody after apparently trying to trigger a blast on an aeroplane approaching Detroit from Amsterdam.
He has been charged with trying to blow up the plane by setting off explosives stitched into his underwear.
The alleged attempt failed when he was stopped by passengers.
Mr Brown's spokesman will brief journalists again at 3:45 this afternoon, around the time Home Secretary Alan Johnson will make a statement to MPs about the attempted bombing.
I see the hand of Axelrod and Emanuel here trying to deflect criticism leveled, justly, against Comrade Zero, Goose Stepper Napolitano and Al Qaeda's in house counsel, Eric Holder.
But don't worry, like Midnight Rider adroitly conveys below, TSA is on the prowl and alas, we are "safe"!!!!
