Is it just me, or that pic, or does Hoekstra look a lot like a slightly chubby Schumer?
Time to get excited. It’s been confirmed:

The plot to blow up a passenger jet was launched by al-Qaeda leaders in Yemen who apparently sewed bomb materials into the suspect’s underwear.
The suspect had more than 80 grams of PETN, a compound related to nitro-glycerin. Yesterday’s bomb failed because the detonator may have been too small or was not in “proper contact” with the explosive material.
Abdulmutallab made contact via the internet with a radical imam in Yemen who then connected him with al-Qaeda leaders.
