5. He (and others)
are expounding on what Obama just said, that the threat was "credible", that 2 packages "contained explosives". Now they're talking about what they did, what they're doing. Brennan says" we're not presuming we've disrupted the plot". They're answering press questions now.

4. Brennan doesn't want to speculate about the damage that could have been caused by the 2
that had harmful material.

6. Gibbs - we are on the job and Pres will not change travel schedule this weekend
Nor should the public change their schedules.

*sigh* that this even needs to be said.

7. With the RW waiting to pounce, everything needs to be spelled out. Plus, I think
it's good to just reassure the people.

16. No problem.
I'd rather it got double posted than not posted at all. It's all good!

12. Brennan (paraphrased) - the system worked. Intelligence worked.
Referencing them knowing that there were packages to look for.

They notified Midland (UK) while the plane was enroute to tell them what to look for.

13. Brennan describes packages as size of a bread box,
method of detonation not known as present.

Re: question about "dry run", "I don't know yet what the intent was."
