Why Would He Say This?

When Tommy Thompson resigned as Health and Human Services Secretary, he said this:

WASHINGTON (AP) - Health and Human Services Secretary Tommy Thompson resigned Friday, warning of a potential global outbreak of the flu and health-related terror attacks. "For the life of me, I cannot understand why the terrorists have not attacked our food supply because it is so easy to do," he said.

You can find the article at My Way News. I'm not disputing the veracity of his comments; I'm just wondering why he would so publicly voice one of our greatest vulnerabilities! (Note to high ranking insiders: when you're privy to national vulnerabilities, it would be best if you KEPT THEM TO YOURSELF!!!!)

As one would imagine, President Bush played down US food threat.
