Dennis Blair is the National Intelligence Director. When he was questioned by a senate panel on the circumstances that allowed Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab to board a plane with a bomb in his underpants, Blair said the High-Value Detainee Interrogation Group, also known as HIG, should have questioned the suspect before any decisions were made on whether to place him in the civilian court system.
There's just one little problem with that. The HIG unit doesn't exist yet according to FBI Director Robert Mueller. Blair's office says his remarks were "misconstrued." Yeah, right. It seems to me we need someone with some actual intelligence to be our National Intelligence Director.
