Welcome to The Micah Report, my ruminations on Israel, terror & security and the Middle East as well as politics and world events. Thanks for stopping by.

I've been thinking:
Tommy Thompson, the outgoing, US Secretary of Health has sung his last, great, swan song. But rather than going out on a high note, he hit low.

His final ruminations sounded to more like the ravings of a fool than sound advice.

What could he have been thinking when he said:
"For the life of me I cannot understand why the terrorists have not attacked our food supply because it is so easy to do."

Put aside transmitting intel to the terrorists or giving them ideas, that's a non-issue, terrorists already know what they want or need to know, they don't need us for that. My concern is the thought process of the man responsible for a very significant portion of American society. These are the final comments of a secretary of Health for the US? This is how he wants to be remembered?

His comments are ludicrous and ridiculous. Thompson should not be rewarded with another position of trust. Leaders should not and cannot stoop to the level of "I cannot believe ... I cannot understand."

It was part of his responsibility as a leader to make certain that he did indeed understand. It was part of his job to make sure that his fears will never be realized.
