Attorney General Eric Holder said Wednesday he made the decision to charge the Christmas Day terror suspect in civilian court rather than the military system, with no objection from all the other relevant departments of the government.
In a letter to Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell, the attorney general wrote that the FBI told its partners in the intelligence community on Christmas Day and again the next day that Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab would be charged criminally.
Holder's letter was the latest volley in a vigorous counterattack by the Obama administration to Republican charges that the arrest and FBI interrogation of the Detroit suspect was a mistake that cost a chance to learn key information.

Holder also made a decision to pardon FALN murdering terrorists. He should be working at a fruit stand in Guatemala City.
Holder was the one who took the fall for pardoning Marc Rich too when he was deputy Atty General. He doesn’t mind being the fall guy for dems as long as he keeps getting promoted afterward.
Nah, it’s the Festivus Bomber!!!!

“made the decision to charge the Christmas Day terror suspect”
I am outraged. How dare he use the term “Christmas Day” terror suspect.
How insensitive to our pagan neighbors and friends.
Should be “Winter Holiday” Terror suspect.
