Just When I Thought...

22 January 2010

…I could not loathe Eric Holder more than I already do, this hits the news wire.

Maine Senator Susan Collins and Connecticut Senator Joseph Lieberman are proposing a bill in the Senate that would force DoJ officials to consult with counter terrorism officials when terrorist suspects are apprehended.
Yes you read correctly. It appears that when the Christmas underwear bomber was arrested after trying to kill almost 300 people on an airplane, he was automatically taken over by civilian authorities and charged with civilian criminal charges. It also appears that this was done without any communication made with the Director of National Intelligence, the Director of the National Counterterrorism Center and even the Secretary of Homeland Security.
Basically, Eric Holder took it upon himself to decide that this Muslim terrorist was going to be handled by civilian courts, circumventing the anti-terrorist Military apparatus that could have extracted some vital information from the guy before he lawyer up.

So the obvious procedure that Americans would assume would take place when a terrorist is captured was completely circumvented by Holder in his continuous attempt to facilitate the enemies of America.
Do not get me wrong. I know that the man is doing the bidding of Obama, but if he did not agree with the policy, he should have enough integrity to resign.
But I do not expect any kind of integrity from anyone associated with the current political leadership, and I am actually surprised that Susan Collins is part of a protest bill against the enemies of the country.

After the earthquake of Scott Brown election, I hold some hope that the bill will have a future as the Liberals in the Senate may not be as willing to go along with Obama agenda for fear of further angering the American people.

Personally, I call for Eric Holder to resign or for Obama to fire him!

And these are my thoughts!
