columnist george will, juan williams, and steve hayes.we have obviously heard about al qaeda and plans and concerns from intelligence officials, among them, the director of national intelligence at a recent hearing to launch attacks in the u.s. and europe, but this seems interesting that it's specifically about shoes and it reminds us of richard reid, obviously, from 2009. >> it sounds like we've got enough information that they were comfortable going public with this, which is unlike the other reports where we had bits and pieces and they decided not to go public about the threat. i think the first thing to say about this is it's obviously a serious potential threat. they have obviously got real intelligence or they wouldn't have gone public with it. the second thing is it's a difficult political challenge for the administration because they have been making the argument and pushing back against people like james clapper, the administration still contending that al qaeda is on the run, that it's on the path to defeat, and this obviously
