miranda rights apply to us citizens suspected of criminal behavior
they're not meant for nigerians trained, armed and sent by al qaeda to kill grammas and little girls bearing gifts on christmas
dhs's napolitano and hig's dennis blair testified last week before jiltin joe lieberman's homeland security committee, under rough questioning from john mccain, that THEY WERE NOT EVEN CONSULTED about the movement of mutallab before civil venue
that is, doj did not even CONSIDER the national security ramifications of this civilian-izing of terrorists that cost ms coakley teddy's seat
doj weighs, evidently, only the political and legal consequences of its actions, with zero eye to security
so say napolitano and blair
furthermore, mr blair blabbed that, unfortunately, his high value interrogation group (hig) was NOT PREPARED for apprehension of wannabe bombers within the united states
darn, if we'd only caught him in yemen, he suggests, we would have acted totally professional
LOL!
hig isn't even fully operational, blair submits as an excuse
this failure of the politicos at justice even to make a phone call to the security folks at dhs and within the nsc was a pretty big topic on yesterday's sunday talks
the admin once more comes off as totally incompetent
chris wallace (son of 60 minutes mike) on fns actually asked press secty gibbs IF THE PRESIDENT WAS INFORMED, unlike hig and dhs
this is just one more major screw up that aint goin away
and it contributes to the view held now by most informed americans, from all sides of all aisles, that this obama white house is simply in way too deep for its capacity
an absolute disaster, mutallab
politically, i mean
"isolated extremist," my ass
no wonder coakley's clock got cleaned
