Does that statement need further review by the experts? Does this statement make anyone more secure in the future? Just a little lapse in security decision making could and will cost lives. All these political appointees hanging around the news conference doesn't exactly exude safety and security to me. I have 100% more faith in law enforcement on the ground than these politicians. Who knew about this murderous coward terrorist and when did they know about him?
