Acting Secret Service Director Rowe Says What Happened on July 13 Was a ‘Failure of Imagination’

EXCERPT:

ROWE: "This was a failure of imagination, a failure to imagine that we actually do live in a very dangerous world where people do actually want to do harm to our protectees. I think it was a failure to challenge our own assumptions, the assumptions that we know our partners are going to do everything they can, and they do this every day, but we didn't challenge our own assumptions of, we assumed that someone's going to cover that. We assumed that there's going to be uniform presence.”
