Did you happen to catch the special on MSNBC this weekend with Peter Bergen? How back in October they actually thought there may have been a nuclear device in NYC? Of course it turned out that there wasn't -- but everyone came to work every day and never knew anything about it.

I think it's a muslim terrorist,but I still don't think the FBI employee was selected for her job. I did hear about the nuclear device.

Unfortunately the government is learning as they go along.We've not been in this position before.No wonder the President looks so hagard lately.I wouldn't want to have the weighty decisions he has.

How back in October they actually thought there may have been a nuclear device in NYC?

Christopher Hitchens has written about how, back then, friends of his in the government tipped him off that they thought there was a nuclear device in D.C., and advised him to get out of town a certain weekend.
