The finger pointing begins. Two SNAFU's:


1. "At police headquarters, someone had disconnected a phone line that would have provided emergency communications from the Federal Aviation Administration, the officials said."


2. "Sgt. Guy Poirier was stationed Wednesday at the Homeland Security Operations Center, along with members of other local, state and federal agencies. He was in a room with law enforcement officials who do not have high-security clearance. Federal authorities with such clearances, stationed in another room, reported monitoring the actions starting at 11:28 a.m. But Ramsey said that they did not share information with Poirier."

There will be many "snafus" uncovered, everyone will run in circles creating a dust cloud to obscure their shortcomings, then it will all settle back to business as usual.

Seen it many a time. Never fails.

As for DC police. I suspect the others see them as a "sieve" that is brought in at the last minute.
