Eric Holder is busted when he can't answer how/where OBL would be handled. 2 months of time has passed to correct looking like a complete fool because you can't answer a very real hypothetical regarding OBL. Now advance to today. How do you handle a low level Al Qeada prisoner who attempted a major act of terrorism on our soil? In two months time (that's including since his capture), they never dicussed how the crotch bomber should be handled? Eric Holder was very quick in deciding to treat him as a criminal. Yet, had trouble answering Graham 2 months ago. Wat up wit tat? Seems Mr Holder didn't feel the need to discuss it with his own peers, in fact, one equal in power, Secretary of HLS, Director of National Inteligence or the Director of National Counter Terrorism Center. Don't you think we deserve better? How come Obama was AWOL? Oh, I'm sorry, BHO had a tee time scheduled. Much more important.

What has been downplayed is that Eric Holder's law firm defended a bunch of the incarcerated terrorists. I believe it would (and should) be viewed as a conflict of interest by the ABA (and anyone else who bothers to look at it). They know the criminal justice system is unprepared to deal with issues of this type and magnitude but push it anyway. Unfortunately, this is a deeply ingrained belief by Holder AND Obama and as obvious as it is, they're not about to change their way of thinking, ...... heck, what's history, they think they're so good they'll just change it, even if it would be the first time, remember, ... he's "The One."
Absolutely, it should be a conflict of interest. Holder also got the pardons for the FLN terrorist when Clinton was leaving. He hasn't met a terrorist that wasn't justofied because they were fighting oppression.

Oh but Obama and friends are just that much more inteligent, it only takes them a few hours to get all the information ever needed out of a terrorist without the cruel use of water boarding.
Captured after a bomb hidden in his underwear ignited but failed to explode, Abdulmutallab spoke freely and provided valuable intelligence, officials said. Federal agents repeatedly interviewed him or heard him speak to others. But when they read him his legal rights nearly 10 hours after the incident, he went silent.
Since the attempted bombing, several prominent lawmakers have argued he should have been placed immediately in military custody, and the nation's top intelligence official said he should have been questioned by a special group of terror investigators, rather than the FBI agents who responded to the scene.
The officials who spoke to The AP said on-scene investigators never discussed turning the suspect over to military authorities. And their accounts show that as the hours passed, the FBI turned to its own expert counterterror interrogators and made no effort to involve the special unit, because it was not yet up and running.

Turf wars are so counter-productive. And yes, Ol Mongo is absolutely right in that Eric Holder has a definite conflict of interest. That COF is yet another sign that Obama really doesn't think things through and Obama has no excuse as he is a lawyer also. He learned that stuff in first year law school and DOES know better.

The "Fruit of the Boom" bomber was only "interrogated" for 50 minutes before he was offered an attorney!! I've done a ton of interviews and interrogations and you can't even get the formalities completed in 50 minutes. I doubt they got anything of importance from this guy and if they did, it wasn't much. What a wasted opportunity. Frankly, I think this is criminal.
Can you get anymore incompetent?
