In her speech, Ms. Harris only mentioned enough details to make her point, and she accomplished that very well.

It was the reporter who chose to focus almost exclusively on this one small portion of her entire speech. He left right after Harris' speech was over. It's fair to say that the reporter is well aware of the limitations that exist in providing details of such events, and why the majority of terror threats that have been found and eliminated in the CONUS are not reported. But by making an issue of it, the media seeks to denigrate Harris' statements, and therefore her position. No surprise there.

Sounds like she may have let something slip about the plan to blow up the power grid in Carmel, Ind.

First, she says that she learned of a plan to blow up the power grid from the Mayor.

The mayor confirms that someone was arrested and sent to Guantanamo, but he is unaware of any bomb plot

The sherriff was not even aware that anyone had been arrested

Seems to me she has more information than anyone in Carmel, Ind., and I'd bet that if the story is true, she got the information from a classified briefing.

"I probably said too much," Harris said.

Isn't it interesting that the Herald Tribune story didn't mention the size or enthusiasm of the crowd?

Oops! I just noticed that the story did talk about 600 people in an overflow crowd.
