This morning, Attorney General Eric Holder announced that the administration now believed that Times Square bomber Faisal Shahzad planned his attack at the behest of the Pakistani Taliban. That’s quite an about face, considering that earlier in the week Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano asserted probably Shahzad acted alone. Over at Reason magazine, Tim Cavanaugh makes the case it’s time to fire the Homeland Security secretary:

Napolitano’s rhetorical slip [asserting that Shahzad acted alone] is a little too serious to be palmed off with some linguistic woolgathering. She has made clear repeatedly that she believes people with Gadsden flag bumper stickers are a greater threat to domestic tranquility than out-of-the-closet terrorists who receive training and material assistance in foreign terror centers. She has been wrong about this every time, and she will continue to be wrong until Americans actually die.
