to talk about the politics of right now, first let s talk about this investigation and this lightning fast arrest. jim cavanaugh is back with us from the atf, the explosive expert. nall come than is with us from homeland security, 35 years on the job working in counterintelligence and a former assistant for the southern district of new york. well, jim, any time you have been on i listen carefully and you taught me over the years that every criminal eventually makes a mistake. we are thankful that this criminal made apparently more than one. and if there s a strange blessing to any of this, he left us with so much to go on. they had over a dozen pieces of hardware spread out in the lab to go over with a fine tooth comb, correct? that s right, brian. i mean, he was better at leaving evidence than he was at making bombs and, you know, looking at
