Patrick F. Kennedy Testimony on C-SPAN and Intelligence Failures
Undersecretary of State Patrick F. Kennedy testified that an intelligence agency requested the State Department not revoke the visa of the "crotch bomber" (Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab). The hosts note that the C-SPAN archive of this testimony was difficult to locate, though it remains on the State Department website. The segment questions whether the attempted attack was part of a botched intelligence extraction or sting operation.
