National Counterterrorism Center Director Michael Leiter didn't cut his holiday ski trip short upon learning of the attempted bombing of a Detroit-bound airliner Christmas Day, the New York Daily News reports.
Leiter, who is in charge of analyzing terror threats, reportedly didn't return to his office post in McLean, Va., until several days after the holiday, and his decision to do so has been looked down upon by intelligence officials.
"People have been grumbling that he didn't let a little terrorism interrupt his vacation," a source told the Daily News.
If the anti terror chief can't figure out that an attempted hijacking is something they need to cut their vacation for, they can't be the anti terror chief any more.
