The Obama administration took another public hit Thursday when a Justice Department inspector general’s report found gaps in record keeping for terror suspects who entered the federal witness protection program. According to the report, the program failed to disclose participants’ new identities to the agency that maintains the government’s “no-fly” list. That meant an unknown number of people who changed their names may have been able to fly despite being on the list. Only two people with suspected terrorism connections have joined the witness protection program in the past six years.
