Liar, Liar, Pants On Fire?

clipped from www.powerlineblog.com That's what ABC is reporting: The plot to blow up an American passenger jet over Detroit was organized and launched by al Qaeda leaders in Yemen who apparently sewed bomb materials into the suspect's underwear before sending him on his mission, federal authorities tell ABC News. At Hot Air, Ed Morrissey speculates about what this will mean for air travelers. We can't wear our shoes through security because of the shoe bomber, and we can't take liquids on the airplane because of the British explosives plot. Wasn't there once an airline where the passengers were supposed to fly naked? So this was a serious terrorist attack. Byron York points out that the White House, perhaps stung by public reaction to its moronic "we cannot fully know" approach to the Ft. Hood massacre, is handling this incident quite differently. No more talk about not "jumping to conclusions" about jihad.
