After ignoring criticism on Monday of President Obama's claim to 60 Minutes that the intelligence community was to blame for having "underestimated" ISIS, Tuesday's CBS This Morning
finally caught up with the story as co-host Norah O'Donnell declared:
"...intelligence officials sort of brustled [sic] at hearing the
President say that the intelligence community may have underestimated
this threat. I mean, publicly, there's a paper trail of intelligence
officials before Congress saying ISIS is a problem."
Fellow
co-host Charlie Rose added: "We're also now hearing from high-level
intelligence officials off the record, you know, that they think that it
was wrong in a sense, as to some are suggesting, to throw intelligence
community under the bus. I'm not sure the President meant to do that.
But clearly, there is a push-back on the part of the intelligence
community saying, 'We tried to tell you.'"
