As is the case in all national catastrophes, we can thank liberals for the Christmas Day terrorist attack by Umar Farouk Abdul Mutallab. Hundreds of casualties were prevented, not by any action on the part of our government, but rather a courageous Dutchman, Jasper Schuringa, who followed in the lion hearted footsteps of Flight 93’s passengers, this time with a better ending.

Former CIA director, R. James Woolsey spoke to Robert Costa of NRO:

“What troubles Woolsey is that Abdul Mutallab’s name was left off the lists for political reasons. ‘Limiting the ‘no fly’ and ‘recheck’ lists has been a cause of the Left and libertarians for years,’ he says. ‘You’ve got a bunch of people on the Hill and in the NGOs beating on them to have, say, not 5,000 names but only 3,000 names on the no-fly list. There’s a lot of pressure on the system from the Hill, and to some extent the public, to be very, very conservative about promoting anybody from the recheck list of 500,000 to the no-fly list of three or four thousand.’”
