A disturbing report from CNN’s Jake Tapper:
First on CNN: Witness protection program lost two former "known or suspected terrorists" > http://t.co/0Azna5H6H3

"“Therefore it was possible for known or suspected terrorists to fly on commercial airplanes in or over" the US > http://t.co/1UYKgebcOw”

Via CNN:
The U.S. Marshal Service has been “unable to locate” two former participants in the federal Witness Security Program “identified as known or suspected terrorists,” states the public summary of an interim Justice Department Inspector General’s report obtained by CNN.
“Unable to locate”? Uh, beg your pardon? Be sure to read the whole report — if you can stomach it.
So, terrorists in the witness protection program were given new identities, the names weren't put on terror wacth lists, so govt lost them.

I'm sorry, why are we putting KNOWN terrorists in the witness protection program? HELLO???

I get putting mobsters in witness protection. They're money motivated. Terrorists are ideological. NOT THE SAME THING.

So now the government is losing terrorism suspects that were in witness protection. How incompetent is our government?

Is that a rhetorical question?
Maybe the Obama administration should consider going into Witness Protection. Because this has not been a good week for the White House.
IRS, AP mess, Benghazi, now 2 missing terrorists from Witness Protection? Same Dems who claimed Reagan was "Un-engaged" during 2nd term?

How about a special shout-out to the Justice Department?

So, the Justice Dept has lost track of 2 terrorists they had in the witness protection program! WTH?

Justice lost track of two in witness protection program who were / are terrorists. (good job! ugh!)

I wonder if Eric Holder knows 'nothing' about losing former terrorists that were part of a witness protection program.
