Richard Wolffe, an MSNBC analyst, said that according to administration sources, the White House is considering whether intelligence about the Christmas bomber was willfully ignored within the intelligence community:

“Is it a case of the agencies having so much rivalry between them that they were more determined to stymie each other or the centralized system rather than dealing with the terrorist threat or was it just that there were so many dots no one could connect them because it was all too random to figure out,” Wolffe said.

“Seems that the president is leaning very much towards thinking this was a systemic failure by individuals, who maybe had an alternative agenda.”

If the White House is truly considering whether there is a conspiracy in the intelligence community to allow a terrorist attack occur, then this is absolutely unbelievable. If true, this administration has stepped across a line it will never be able to get on the other side of again, and it is despicable. They will have lost all legitimacy.

Wolffe already is a jackass for even suggesting this is possible. He is saying that a group of Americans within our intelligence community are conspiring to allow Americans to die from a terrorist attack. He is accusing them of treason of the highest kind.
