Eric Holder takes fire over no-fly list

Senators from both parties praised the quick arrest of the Times Square car-bomb suspect Faisal Shahzad, but Attorney General Eric Holder on Thursday also heard a lot of grumbling that Shahzad should never have been able to board a plane bound for Dubai.

“There’s a lot of concern out there about why the suspect was not apprehended until the jet has pulled away from the gate,” Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) told Holder during the appropriations hearing. “One really has to wonder: where was the failing here? What happened with this watch list?

Faisal probably read the TSA manual that was posted on the web. I think Nappy said it didn't mean a thing....But I'll bet Faisal or one of his buddies was aware of the 24 hour rule.

What’s this mean, someone who newly comes to the attention of the CIA or other alphabet agency as a terrorism figure of interest doesn’t go onto the watch list until 24 hours later?

The Clinton administration should have taught us one very important fact ...

It doesn't matter WHAT the charge may be nor whether factual or not ... actually, I think they PREFER 100%, rock solid gold TRUTH ...



So they can ignore, obfuscate or just plain tell us it's none of our nusiness .. and NOTHING ever gets corrected.

Nothing

ever
