Fox News 'Hats Off' To FReeper Governsleast On Obama Admin Leak On Mutallab Talking
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 02/06/2010 12:58:28 PM PST by governsleastgovernsbest

On February 2nd, NBC correspondent Pete Williams announced Breaking News during the 5 PM ET edition of Hardball: the Christmas Day Bomber, Umar Abdul Mutallab, was giving fresh, actionable information to the FBI which the United States is in turn "aggressively chasing down."

Less than an hour later, this NewsBuster [AKA FReeper governsleast] blogged on the matter, wondering whether by leaking the news, "the Obama administration compromised national security," in an attempt to deflect the criticism it had been receiving for mirandizing Mutallab rather than treating him like the enemy combatant he is.

On today's Fox News Watch, panelist Jim Pinkerton gave a "hats off" to this NewsBuster for being first to raise the issue.

Wonder how the FBI would weigh in on this one... Lot’s of times they floated false information themselves to get the chat thing going on cell phones... Maybe they were behind the leak? I bet there were some calls made after the news leaked that were monitored.

Damn right it was a politically motivated leak. Boy president had to “prove” that sitting terrorists down in the comfy chair will make them talk.

Didn’t Gibbs admit the information was released in response to all the criticism for giving the jihadist miranda rights?

The Al-Qaeda Bar (Big Law Firms Line Up to Represent Terrorists)
”Some of the nation’s wealthiest and most powerful law firms have donated hundreds of
millions of dollars in free legal services to terror suspects at the Guantanamo Bay prison.
Their work, bolstered by left-wing activists groups, has helped to free, or force the
transfer, of hundreds of al Qaeda suspects to third countries. Some have gone back to
terrorism and the job of trying to kill Americans.

The work of big American law firms on behalf of al Qaeda is drawing new attention since
Attorney General Eric Holder decided this month that Khalid Sheik Mohammed, who
orchestrated the murder of over 3,000 9-11, is coming to New York City for trial. Holder
was a partner at Covington & Burling, which in 2005 gave one its attorneys an award for
aiding 17 Yemeni suspects at Guantanamo.”

A list of 10 of the largest American legal firms representing Guantanamo terror detainees:
Mayer, Brown, Rowe & Maw
Blank Rome
Manatt, Phelps & Phillips
Shearman & Sterling
Allen & Overy
Convington & Burling
Dorsey & Whitney
Holland & Hart
Hunton & Williams
Paul, Weiss”


EDITORIAL EXCLUSIVE: On terrorists, Justice recused“


AG Eric Holder's clients (the REAL reason for the transfer – to free them):

• Saad Al Qahtani
• Mohammed Zahrani
• Achraf Salim ("Sultan") Abdessalam
• Abdul Rahman Abdul Abu Ghityh Sulayman
• Musaab Omar Al Madhwani
• Jawad Jabbar Sadkhan (Al Sahlani)
• Majid Khan



“Corruptocrat AG Eric Holder’s conflicted DOJ“


"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction.
We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream.
It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same,
or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children
and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.
"
President Ronald Reagan
