In the wake of obvious outrage following Janet Napolitano, Homeland Security Secretary, comments on Sunday that “the system worked”, in reference to the failed underpants bomber terrorist airline attack, apparently something else is being said today. According to Napolitano today, Monday, December 28th, when asked whether the US security system “failed miserably”, she responded, “It did”.
In making the rounds on the Sunday talkshows, Naapolitano had left viewers with the impression that the security system designed to prevent terrorist incidents had indeed worked. A day later however, the Homeland Security Secretary is saying that the system failed miserably.
Napolitano has said that her comments on Sunday were taken out of context. She said that she was trying to explain that the system worked after the bomber’s attack was foiled on board the Northwest Airline on Christmas Day.
