Whose side is the Justice Department on: America's -- or the terrorists'?
It's just insane that a lawyer who defended Osama bin Laden's driver and bodyguard -- and who sought constitutional rights for terrorists -- could be one of the Obama administration's top legal officials.
But there's Neal Katyal, occupying a top perch at the Justice Department as the principal deputy solicitor general.
Then there's Jennifer Daskal -- who just months ago was an anti-Guantanamo activist. Now she's in Justice's National Security Division -- working on detainee issues. Eric Holder Eric Holder
Talk about conflicts of interest.
All kinds of rules prohibit government employees from influencing policy to the benefit of their previous employers. If Katyal, Daskal and other conflicted Justice lawyers had worked for corporations, they'd almost certainly be subject to these regulations.
Lawmakers on Capitol Hill are hopping mad about the situation -- and rightly so. Months ago, Senate Judiciary Committee member Charles Grassley asked Attorney General Eric Holder to disclose who in the administration had previously represented or agitated for alleged terrorists.
The AG's reply?
"I will consider that request."
Holder must be thinking long and hard -- because committee members have yet to receive a response.
Meanwhile, they've started asking other questions of Justice -- like who came up with the brilliant idea to Mirandize undie-bomber Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, limiting the amount of intelligence he might provide about al Qaeda and future attacks.
With high-profile terror cases coming up -- like Abdulmutallab's, and the outrageous Khalid Sheik Mohammed trial in New York -- Americans need to know: Is our government putting in a good-faith effort when it comes to punishing the men who want to blow up our people?
The call to treat terrorists like civilians in court has been all Team Obama.

Lindsey Graham is history. He will be de elected in 2012.
He is a political dead man walking. Politicians like Lindsey and Mccain have no idea ( they should) of just how comprehensive this electoral clean up will be.
The political mulch machine is just barely getting started.
The McCain attack on JD Hayworth was the opening shot in the battle between RINOS and Conservatives. We will win
just as Reagan did.The RINIS are just beginning t realize they are in deep trouble.McCain knows he is fighting for his political life. Linsey? Well he hasn’t quite caught on yet.
I got so po'd about Holder, I forgot to put you in my response. See my post #24.
“We now learn: (a) Neal Katyal.......the lawyer who defended Osama bin Laden’s driver and bodyguard — and who sought constitutional rights for terrorists — is one of the Obama administration’s top legal officials, occupying a top perch at Justice as the principal deputy solicitor general. (b) Jennifer Daskal — who just months ago was an anti-Guantanamo activist in now in Justice’s National Security Division — working on detainee issues.”
My my!! How about that?? LOL!

“Eric Holder is an Enemy of the State. He’s a CommieRAT and hates the USA more than Obama. “
And Obama and Holder hire only those who are fellow Enemies of the State”
As Quinn of Quinn and Rose just said..
“This is the kind of dirty dealings that leads to insurrection..”
I would really love to see them brought up on charges of treason. Would it be considered racist if we hung them in a public square?
Yep, that is an indisputable fact. We need a fumigating of the entire Executive Branch. And that can start with impeachment and conviction in the senate in 2011 for TREASON and Abuse of Power.
I'd rather have a dumb president Biden for a couple years, than an evil POTUS intent of the utter destruction of the Republic.
“And Obama and Holder hire only those who are fellow Enemies of the State”
Birds of a feather. . . . .
“We need a fumigating of the entire Executive Branch. And that can start with impeachment and conviction in the senate in 2011 for TREASON and Abuse of Power.”
Lord, let me live long enough to see the day!

Well, when there aren't enough criminals one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws. Who wants a nation of law-abiding citizens? What's there in that for anyone? But just pass the kind of laws that can neither be observed nor enforced or objectively interpreted – and you create a nation of law-breakers – and then you cash in on guilt. Now that's the system, Mr. Reardon, that's the game, and once you understand it, you'll be much easier to deal with." (Atlas Shrugged 1957)
IMPEACHMENT GROUNDS ARE THERE. WE MUST ACT SOON! Holder is a parasitic criminal.
This is an EXCELLENT blog/source of inside info, on the shenanigans of the DOJ under Obama.

I check this blog every day or so and consider it part of my MUST read, along with FR, Drudge and a few others.
BO and Holder have the exact same color of skin. I think they are both part Arab. Just my opinion.
