Obama’s bumbling Intelligence crew

The Director of National Intelligence James Clapper takes an interview from ABC News anchor Diane Sawyer. She asks him about the arrests of 12 suspected terrorists in London. Clapper does a hem and haw and doesn't answer the question.

The White House is spinning the story to make it like Clapper was too busy with far more important intelligence things to be briefed before the interview.
