Releasing terrorists shows America’s moving forward

Washington finally comes to its senses:

As part of its routine series of preparedness drills aimed at testing national security, the Department of Homeland Security announced Monday that it had set free the five most deadly foreign terrorists in U.S. custody.

“Protecting the American people is our highest priority, so it is crucial that we periodically put our country’s safeguards to the test,” DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano said during a press conference. “Only by loosing these dangerous extremists on our infrastructure, landmarks, and chemical or nuclear facilities can we properly assess our vulnerability to terrorist attacks.”

“If the Empire State Building or Jefferson Memorial blows up, for example, then we’ll know we have to make some improvements,” she added. “It’s all part of the process.”
