Director of National Intelligence Blair Resigns

First, there was the alleged attempted Christmas Day airline bombing when suspect Umar Farouk Abdul Mutallab to board a flight bound for Detroit, Michigan, in December. Now, Obama's top intelligence adviser, Director of National Intelligence Dennis C. Blair is resigning, effective today. The Senate Intelligence Committee just released a report that criticized the National Counterterrorism Center that is overseen by Dennis Blair's office. In matter of fact, his office oversees 17 federal agencies of the U.S. intelligence community, which also includes the CIA, FBI and the Department of Homeland Security. So it appears that the United States was lucky in this incident as noone was hurt or killed, but at the expense of the Director of National Intelligence.
