What’s Our Line?
New York Times ^ | January 4, 2010 | MICHAEL KINSLEY

WHY are we reading Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab his Miranda rights instead of taking him somewhere and forcibly finding out where he got the explosive underwear and whatever else he might know about Al Qaeda? Isn’t this, as well as the forthcoming federal court trial of Khalid Shaikh Mohammed, proof that the Obama administration doesn’t really regard the war on terrorism as a war?

To obama and his cohorts in crime, these terror attacks on the US by radical Muslims are just an inconvenient distraction from their real agenda - transforming America into a socialist state.

After 9/11 former President Bush and his policies gave us what, about 7 years with no radical Muslim backed attacks within the United States? obama and his troop of a** clowns is in for less than a year and we've had two so far...

BO has proven that he will be soft on the terrorist and they are giddy at the prospect of the damage that they might inflict upon the citizens of the USA. No waterboarding, American citizen rights to lawyers, no GITMO and basically whatever else they want. Whose side is he on anyway?

"We have nothing to be ashamed of, little to fear and much to be proud of in choosing to err on the side of treating captured foreign terrorists as we would treat any upstanding American who tried to blow up an airplane full of people. "

Little to fear, Mikey, except annihilation from the next terrorist that this soft response will begat.

And they used to say that Bush "made more terrorists" with his actions?

Not ours, obviously. He can no longer even remotely claim to have the best interests of the United States at heart. His actions speak louder than his telepromt'd words.

And after his intense interrogation, why are we not hanging him by what is left of his private parts?
