Gibbs and Napolitano on Meet the Press Dec. 27

Homeland Secretary Janet Napolitano says the underwear bomber wasn't on a "watch list" as the media has been reporting. The media ought to be banned from providing information within the first 4 hours because they always get the facts wrong at the beginning of a story and then others build off the misinformation and the misinformation never goes away.

Napolitano says the underwear bomber was on another list that didn't trigger any concern. Gibbs says the list of various databases needs to be reviewed. I'll say, especially after his own father reported him as nutso. If the underwear bomber's name had only triggered a more thorough search at the airport, then this might not have happened.
