"The CIA on Wednesday rejected accusations that it failed to share vital information with other US intelligence agencies that might have helped prevent last week's attempted plane bomb attack."

"The intelligence agency rejected charges that it possessed, but failed to disseminate, information about Nigerian suspect Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab that might have led to his being placed on a no-fly list."


"We also forwarded key biographical information about him to the National Counterterrorism Center (NCTC)" Gimigliano said, referring to the government office tasked with compiling and integrating intelligence from various US agencies."

oh boy, the blame game and finger pointing has now begun at full speed. I kind of believe this and Obama wants to make it look like it was the big bad CIA's fault, when it was his very own appointees that messed up. What a joke this administration is from top to bottom.

Everything that goes out of this inept administration has talking points that taxpayers pay Axelrod's former firm to come up with.

The words that America will accept like good little robots. You will hear the same line from each one of them over and over.

The White House Chief of Staff faxes or alerts media as to the talking points daily and they repeat them over and over.

I hear them in here from trolls.

Blame the CIA. Blame Bush.

I wish that I could be cautiously optimistic that Obama could find a decent bone about him and not point fingers until he has the facts in hand. However, the way he treated the CIA in the name political expediency (ie. waterboarding memos) I have no doubt whatsoever that he will be at the microphone in short order to tell us how bad Bush's CIA really is. Nevermind the fact that he appointed the director in charge of the Agency. I hope I am wrong.

You know, I think you are on to something that I never connected the dots on. Axelrod's old firm! You're right! I bet they do fax out the talking points to their sheep. It only makes sense, I was wondering how they all could have the same talking points and opinions so quickly. I made a joke in another thread about some posters getting their talking points cheat-sheet from the WH, I guess I wasn't too far off.

They do this every time they screw it up..finger point at another agency.

Why do we have so many agencies tracking the same crap and yet they don't share ?
I thought Homeland Security and the Patriot Act was supposed to bring them all together like one big fat happy funded family..each sharing information with no fear of not getting funded the next year ?

Why isn't there a center data base where all the agencies---FBI, Homeland Security, CIA, etc.---can feed in their information about suspected terrorists so they don't have "pass it on" thus things getting lost in the shuffle? That way if any one agency gets information in, it's immediately available to all.
