Fucking Liberal Republicans
The White House on Wednesday disputed former Homeland Security chief Tom Ridge's assertion that administration officials were too quick to put the nation on increased terrorist threat levels.
Ridge, at a forum in Washington on Tuesday, said that he and other administration officials often disagreed on threat-level decisions.
"More often than not we were the least inclined to raise it," he said of his agency. "Sometimes we disagreed with the intelligence assessment. Sometimes we thought even if the intelligence was good, you don't necessarily put the country on [alert].
"There were times when some people were really aggressive about raising it and we said, 'For that?'" Ridge said.
