8/2-YOU DON'T REALLY HAVE TO UNDERSTAND ARABIC TO UNDERSTAND THOSE PRISONERS. WHAT THEY'RE SAYING IS, "HOW IN THE WORLD DID THE AMERICANS KNOW WE WERE COMING?

Okay, so America didn't start at or near the top of international espionage.  Around the time of World War I someone suggested that America should develop at least some kind of intelligence service, since the rest of the world did had them and America had absolutely nothing of the kind.  America's Secretary of War Henry Stimson recoiled in shock, angrily replying, "Gentlemen do not read other people's mail!"  Does this mean we must remain deliberately and aggressively at the bottom?  The lead media story at the moment is the closure of our embassies and consulates in almost two dozen Islamic countries this weekend because intelligence tells us Al-Qaeda is planning a huge attack or series of attacks.  Have our leaders never seen a B-movie western?  What a chance to deck the halls with well-armed Marines, repel the attacks, interrogate the prisoners and never, ever let THEM know that WE knew or how!  Former New York Congressman JOHN LeBOUTILLIER ministers to the illness of our military intelligence as he visits with Sara and Barry this evenng.
