U.S. officials may have blown the cover of a major sting operation when they revealed the name of the Al Qaeda operative whose arrest led to last week’s elevated terror alert in New York, New Jersey, and Washington.

John Diamond, the National Security Correspondent for USA Today, joins us live to discuss the reported mix-up between U.S. and Pakistani intelligence.
