Countdown had this guy John Kelly, space editor of the newspaper Florida Today, on last night to provide "expert commentary" on this astronaut attempted-kidnapping story. At issue was how NASA should handle this, with regard to their psychological screening, personnel decisions, that sort of thing. Kelly offered that the space agency's next steps would be to likely "do what NASA does best, which is to study the lessons they've learned from this and try to see if there's anything they can do to maybe prevent this kind of thing in the future."

It seemed like he may have realized halfway through just what he was implying about the space shuttle disasters and tried to change course, but maybe I was just being optimistic and he just tripped over a word or two on live TV (video on the Countdown site as of this writing). Otherwise that seems like an unduly harsh assessment of what NASA is "best" at.
