An article that the "Los Angeles Times" published earlier this week stated that the U.S. government learned details about AbdulMutallab, the man who did the attempted Christmas Day attack on the Northwest flight bound for Detroit, MI from the Netherlands, after he had boarded and the plane was in the air. However, the white house is pushing back on that report saying that there was nothing new learned about AbdulMutallab while the plane was in the air. That all the information they knew was obtained after the fact from previous records. John Brennan, the assistant to the president on homeland security and counterterrorism, is going to release a report detailing what all went wrong in the incident/why it happened and possible solutions to the problem/what is going to be done to prevent future attacks. After the review is released President Obama plans to make a statement regarding it and the whole incident. Obama is demanding to know why AbdulMutallab was even able to board the plane given that he has a record like he has. Officials have said that his name did not appear on a no fly list. Mostly Republican critics have said AbdulMutallab should have been subjected to military interrogation, instead of receiving the rights of a defendant in the U.S. criminal justice system.
I agree with President Obama. I do because there is no reason that AbdulMutallab should have been allowed to board the plane; he was on a no-fly list. Even if officials are saying that it wasn't there, the fact is that it was. I don't know where the Los Angeles Times got its information about the government finding out more information about AbdulMutallab while the plane he was on was still in the air. I believe President Obama when he says that no information on AbdulMutallb was recovered until after the plane had landed. I think it will be a step in the right direction after John Brennan releases the full report of the incident officially informing the American people of what all went on formally. By him doing that the trust of the American people may be able to be restored once the whole story is made public; sharing the steps that the government took and what steps they are going to be taking to prevent future attacks. I don't know whether or not AbdulMutallab is an American citizen or not, but if he is not I don't think he should be given Miranda Rights. If he is an American citizen then there is no doubt that they should be given to him. But, since I think that he is not an American citizen, just guessing, that the act that he attempted to committ was an act of terrorism. And since it was an act of terrorism against the United States I think he should have been subjected to military interrogation. In the end I know either way they have tons and tons of counts against him, and either way he will get the consequences he deserves. And as a result of this incident I hope that airport security tightens up, even though officials are saying that nothing went wrong and that all security measures were followed. But, if he was almost able to blow up a plane, obviously more security measures need to be put into place so another incident does not happen like this agian.
