Janet Napolitano rivals Janet Reno for sheer, unmitigated incompetence. In today's press conference, our crack Director of Homeland Security teleprompted her way through missives like:

I think, following up on that, not just the determination of Al Qaida and Al Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula, but the tactic of using an individual to foment an attack, as opposed to a large conspiracy or a multi-person conspiracy, such as we saw on 9/11, that is something that affects intelligence.

And:

...In [Holland], his name did not appear on any terrorist screening watch list, and so nothing pinged to keep him off of the plane.

While in the air, customs in Detroit has access to the entire TIDE database. And as we all now all know, that's the -- the large mega-database. It has 500,000-plus names in it, and they knew he had a ping there, and so they were ready when he landed in Detroit to question him about that -- that ping against the TIDE database...

...But the terrorist watch list -- but the terrorist watch list -- the terrorist screening watch list did not have his name on it.

Al Qaeda must be trembling in fear having realized that the vast intellects of Janet Napolitano and Barack Obama stand arrayed between them and martyrdom.
