I am looking at the meeting they had in the White House....and the explanation ;;;;

***************************EXCERPT******************

Holder said that the possibility of detaining Abdulmutallab in the U.S. military system under the law of war was explicitly discussed in the days following the arrest, including at a Jan. 5 meeting that included President Barack Obama and senior members of the national security team.

“No agency supported the use of law of war detention for Abdulmutallab, and no agency has since advised the Department of Justice that an alternative course of action should have been, or should now be, pursued,” the attorney general wrote.

*************************************

Wouldn't an agency look to the President for guidance....??

"“No agency supported the use of law of war detention for Abdulmutallab...."
Bull shit. Three of the intel agencies where specifically asked if they where consulted and all three said no during the Senate Intel hearing shown on CSPAN. Holder lies.

this just goes to show how UN-qualified the big BO is for the office of President of the US. He doesn’t have a clue and is making it up as he goes along.

Today he lipped off about extending an olive branch to the Republicans and got a fist in return - I would actually pay to see that performance.
