House Intel BrainTrustPalz™ Mike Rogers and Pete Hoekstra have issued their latest pronouncement:
"There is no evidence that Detroit was targeted," said Rep. Mike Rogers, R-Brighton, who was in a classified briefing on the House Intelligence Committee.
"It was just one of several options the bomber suspect had," Rogers added.
Rep. Pete Hoekstra of Holland, the ranking Republican on the committee, confirmed Detroit wasn't targeted.
Well alrighty then, if Detroit wasn't targeted I guess that makes it all okay!
Both Rogers and Hoekstra have spent quite a bit of time jumping in front of every reporter they can find to thunder about the awfulness of Scary Underpants Bomber GuyAbdulmutallab's arraignment in civilian court.
Oh, and don't forget Hoekstra's attempt to cash in on said Underpants Bomber.
It would have been great if the Detroit News reporter had asked Mike & Pete what exactly was the significance of Detroit not being the bomber's target. Was that really the most salient point of the "closed door" House Intel session?
We all know how Rogers and Hoekstra love to talk about their intel cred... hey, Hoekstra even Twitters about it!
They need to stop the grandstanding and actually do some work to keep our country -- not just Michigan -- safe. |
