Make No Mistake, It Was Jihad [Says Former U.S. Attorney General and Federal Judge]
Wall St. J ^ | April 21, 2013 | MICHAEL B. MUKASEY

OPINION April 21, 2013 Make No Mistake, It Was Jihad Let's hope the administration gets over its reluctance to recognize attacks on the U.S. for what they are.

By MICHAEL B. MUKASEY

If your concern about the threat posed by the Tsarnaev brothers is limited to assuring that they will never be in a position to repeat their grisly acts, rest easy.

The elder, Tamerlan—apparently named for the 14th-century Muslim conqueror famous for building pyramids of his victims' skulls to commemorate his triumphs over infidels—is dead. The younger, Dzhokhar, will stand trial when his wounds heal, in a proceeding where the most likely uncertainty will be the penalty. No doubt there will be some legal swordplay over his interrogation by the FBI's High-Value Interrogation Group without receiving Miranda warnings.

But the only downside for the government in that duel is that his statements may not be used against him at trial.

(snip) For starters, you can worry about how the High-Value Interrogation Group, or HIG, will do its work. That unit was finally put in place by the FBI after so-called underwear bomber Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab tried to blow up the airplane in which he was traveling as it flew over Detroit on Christmas Day in 2009 and was advised of his Miranda rights. The CIA interrogation program that might have handled the interview had by then been dismantled by President Obama.

At the behest of such Muslim Brotherhood-affiliated groups as the Council on American Islamic Relations and the Islamic Society of North America, and other self-proclaimed spokesmen for American Muslims, the FBI has bowdlerized its training materials to exclude references to militant Islamism. Does this delicacy infect the FBI's interrogation group as well?

Doesn’t matter, we’re going to execute him. Bill O’Reilly and Geraldo said so.

Judge Mukasey makes a damning indictment on the Obama Administration.

This is treasonous.
Here’s the chilling part of the article:

Will we see another performance like the Army’s after-action report following Maj. Nidal Hasan’s rampage at Fort Hood in November 2009, preceded by his shout “allahu akhbar”—a report that spoke nothing of militant Islam but referred to the incident as “workplace violence”? If tone is set at the top, recall that the Army chief of staff at the time said the most tragic result of Fort Hood would be if it interfered with the Army’s diversity program.

O’Reilly and Geraldo are for the “bottom-feeding” segment of the TV audience. Why FoxNews doesn’t get rid of the two of them is a complete mystery!

The corrupt Marxist/Islamofascist B. Hussein Obama has politicized all government agencies under his direct control. Hopefully, he has not penetrated that far into the professional military chain of command.

From the article: “It has been apparent that with al Qaeda unable to mount elaborate attacks like the one it carried out on 9/11, other Islamists have stepped in with smaller and less intricate crimes, but crimes that are nonetheless meant to send a terrorist message. “
+++++++++++++++
Remember, it was bin Ladin who favored the 9/11 big deal attacks. He’s gone and I believe the new management is much more inclined to go for smaller but more numerous projects. Time will tell.

I’ve never seen anyone so full of himself as O’Reilly. He’s beyond obnoxious.

Simply put, yes, the fix is in. The victims have received all the justice that is likely to occur with the death of the older brother. The taxpayers will be stuck with supporting the younger brother for the rest of his life - no death sentence, IMO. There’s probably a London bookie where you can get odds on that.

No, he's against the death penalty. But he has predicted that it will be the outcome.

Oh, OK. Thanks. I don’t watch him much because I don’t like him, he’s turned into a big time gun grabber, but I always thought he was anti-death penalty.

Good to see he’s being consistent.
