The italicized portions of my post are quotes from the article. You’re arguing against the article, not me.

Your above assessment of your post #307 is contradicted by your own unitalicized words, but don't let the facts stand in your way.

Eagle Eye | Post 307: He did NOT attempt to blow up the plane. He did not have explosives on him. Officials described the device as incendiary rather than explosive, pending tests by forensics experts at the FBI Authorities have yet to verify the claim, and they expect to conduct several more interviews before they determine whether he is credible, the official said. His claims to AQ were unconfirmed. And President was notified within 90 minutes. Pretty much your assessment of the situation is contradicted by the article, but don't let the facts stand in your way of telling everyone what you think should be done, when and how

As I said(two things) both which are correct:

1.) A foreign national who is on a U.S. government watch list of people with suspected terrorist ties to Al Qaeda, gets on a plane headed to the U.S. and attempts to blow the plane up over U.S. soil.

2.)The CIC should be informed ASAP whenever our country is under attack.

So don't lecture me, telling me I'm ignoring a crappy article that is wrong.

And don't lecture me about the 90 minutes vs. 3 hours controversy. I gave no opinion on which was the case. I simply said that the president(whatever was the case) should be notified ASAP.

I am guessing that you have never had to report a serious incident to someone higher up. There’s nothing disgraceful about that.

However, you are certain that you’d report speculation and unconfirmed claims to the president and present that to him for his decision making process. That doesn’t do anyone any good, but you’d insist that he have it anyway, right?
