That is alarming if true. I must admit I am skeptical. This quote from Mencken comes to mind:

"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary."

But if it is true, thank God we have savvy people in the WH now who can be trusted to deal with the problem appropriately.
