It came as a shock to ABC News reporter Diane Sawyer that Director of National Intelligence (DNI) James Clapper had no idea of the 12 terror- related arrests in Great Britain on Monday. This important intelligence item was on the 24 hour news programs and was given ample time even on the liberal networks, not
The START treaty is being pushed through the Senate before the Christmas recess. Why? Why are they so afraid to wait until the new members come in?
