I think Janet Napolitano is getting a bit of a raw deal with her "the system worked" comment in the aftermath of the terrorist attack attempt in Detroit.
What she in fact said was, "the system, once the incident occurred, the system worked."
There's a difference. The way pundits spoke about it, they made people believe Napolitano was arguing the system worked from A to Z. That is, from the boarding of the plane in Amsterdam, to the intelligence gathering all the way to the botched attack.
But that's not what she meant at all.
Just another case of taking a comment out of context and twisting it. Very irritating.
I had a friend like that. Always waiting to pounce on a vulnerable phrase. He's in politics now. Surprise.
