"If we can’t catch a Nigerian with a powerful explosive powder in his oddly feminine-looking underpants and a syringe full of acid, a man whose own father had alerted the U.S. Embassy in Nigeria, a traveler whose ticket was paid for in cash and who didn’t check bags, whose visa renewal had been denied by the British, who had studied Arabic in Al Qaeda sanctuary Yemen, whose name was on a counterterrorism watch list, who can we catch?" - Maureen Dowd.

I am relieved that Obama has now promised "accountability at every level." I'd say firing Napolitano would be a start. Show you're different from the Bushies. Actually hold someone you know and like accountable.
