Feeling Safe? Diane Sawyer Stumps Director Of Intelligence On Terror Arrests

(By Mark Joyella, Mediaite) - Gen. James Clapper is the guy who’s tasked with coordinating everything the nation knows about terrorism and national security. It’s a huge task, and the job requires a certain kind of mind–you know, the kind that soaks up details and stays on top of the latest important events.

So it’s perhaps somewhat less than comforting to watch Diane Sawyer’s revealing interview with our nation’s top terror team and see Clapper appear to know less about the arrests of 12 people in London as part of a potential holiday terror plot than anybody who, say, watched 'Good Morning America' that day as they got the kids ready for school.
