From NBC/NJ’s Matthew E. BergerAnother terrorism expert, speaking on anonymity, also said he was not confident in the idea of 23 thwarted terrorist attacks. He points out that President Bush declassified aspects of several thwarted terrorist plots in May, but mentioned only about a dozen. He notes that it would have been in the White House's best interest to discuss more if there were so many others.
One knowledgeable source reminds us that 23 is also the number of tax cuts Giuliani has claimed to have provided as New York mayor. Did he trip up on the numerals?
It's also Don Mattingly's retired number, FYI.
