Ayman al-Zawahiri

In what may be an effort to politicize/portray their response to the latest terror threat in a favorable light, it appears there’s been yet another “leak” of highly classified information. FOX News is now confirming NSA surveillance operations picked up and monitored a cell call between al-Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri and his counterpart in Yemen. Now why in the world would we want that out there? Could it be someone is trying to make the case for NSA spying even though this was an overseas call? Is the Administration attempting to highlight their “amended” policies in the wake of the Benghazi nightmare? Or worse yet, is this terror alert being used as one big distraction away from a spiraling “second term”?

Look, you will not find a more ardent defender of our government’s efforts to protect “We the People” from our enemies. In fact, this is one of the fundamental and Constitutional responsibilities of our elected government. With that said, I find it peculiar as all get out, that when “the most significant threat analysis since 9/11” was made public, it was apparently being handled by Administration underlings while the POTUS was on the “back nine”.

So as I wait and observe what looks like another self-serving/college thesis approach to critical matters of governing, I must admit it’s a bit unsettling to know these folks are in charge…
