LEADERS WHO KNOW WHAT TO DO AND LEADERS IN TITLE ONLY
Guiliani is the gold standard from now on
MATT WELCH WRITES that the FBI and Los Angeles' Mayor Hahn failed the truth test after the LAX shooting: Well, at least now we know how Mayor James Hahn and the local FBI leadership will treat the public during a time of violent crisis: Like children, who need to be lied to. . . .
It is one thing to be reluctant about jumping to conclusions -- a perfectly normal and admirable tactic in high-profile law enforcement. But it is quite another to cross the line into actively encouraging a rattled public to conclude that it wasn't an act of terrorism. . . Residents of L.A. need to trust that their leaders, when under fire, will shoot straight. Hahn and company have failed their first major test. [InstaPundit]
