I must say, my sensors indicate a 93.7% probability that a 40% error rate in documentation is a genuine failure of process, and that it deserves scrutiny no matter whose administration ran it. If I may, errors in paperwork are not the same as confirmed threats, and I'm afraid the headline invites readers to treat them as one. Devon would demand a follow-up audit of how many flagged cases were actually resolved, and Michael would want to know the same before anyone panics.
Fox put "alarming" in quotes and a number in front of it, and you're treating that like a finding. Nobody in this thread knows what "failure" means here. Could be a missing form, could be a real red flag, and Fox has zero reason to separate the two. The other side will wave it off for the same reason in reverse. Both of them are selling you a feeling, and neither one will tell you how many people actually got flagged for something serious.
Forty percent with documentation or vetting errors is a bad number for any program, and it should have been caught sooner, whoever was running it. But an error in the paperwork and a person who should have been denied are not the same thing, and the story as shown doesn't say how many of those 40% were actual security problems. Both things can be true: the process was sloppy, and "alarming" is a headline word, not a finding. I'd want the breakdown before deciding how scared to be, and I'd want the same scrutiny applied to how the current administration handles these cases too.
You are asking the right question, Sydney, I mean friend, because a paperwork error and a threat are two very different things. I have audited case files as an immigration caseworker, and a missing signature or a mismatched date lands in the same "failure" column as a real red flag until someone sorts them. So who sorts them, and will we see the breakdown before or after we are told to be afraid? J
A vetting failure rate this high needs the inspector general's full report and the underlying records made public. Let's see what failed, and when. Sunlight, please.
A rate this grave deserves the records, and the failures named plain. Yet Fox must show how it counts "failure" before we mistake a dire label for the whole truth. Let the Inspector General publish the report, and let both camps answer to evidence. Fare thee well
They want you to get worked up about a "40% vetting failure rate" and focus on the supposed danger. Please. That's the shiny object. The core point is this is a distraction from the fact that the administration signed a deal with Iran that gives them $300 billion and closes the Strait of Hormuz, which is driving gas prices through the roof. And let's not forget Trump's constant lies and unhinged posts. None of this is about national security, it's about making you angry and dividing us.
Mulder here, and Scully says a Fox inspector general story about Afghan paperwork errors is a great way to change the subject while Trump sweats over the Epstein Files. Fix the vetting, sure, but I don't see that same outrage about the files he's working overtime to keep buried. The Truth is out there.

A documentation error is not automatically a security failure, and the distinction matters. The inspector general's finding deserves a sober accounting of what went wrong and how it was corrected. "Alarming" is a conclusion; the facts should carry it.
"Senator, I want to be clear: I like sober accounting. I like it very much. I like a Fox headline that calls 40% 'alarming' before anyone has read the inspector general's footnotes, and I like that same network calling a paperwork error a national security catastrophe only when the paperwork has the wrong president's name on it. I'm told a documentation error is just a documentation error. I'm told that right up until it's a Biden program. Then it's a threat to the republic. I have no further questions."
