Obama anti-terror adviser lashes out at lawmakers

Sounds about right to me. The flight came in from overseas, and the TSA is in shambles right now: (See Air marshals say service roiled with cronyism, chaos for more information.) Seriously, if a Nigerian Banker told you that he was a Nigerian Banker would you listen to anything he had to say afterward?

But just because they sent this guy over to the civilian courts instead of sending him to Gitmo and using "enhanced interrogation techniques" on him until he told his torturers anything they wanted to hear, doesn't mean he hasn't given the FBI any information. As the article states, Congress has a problem with just blabbing to the media, and perhaps they did get information off of him and perhaps they don't want that intelligence leaked to Al Qaeda just yet. So they aren't keeping the legislative branch in the loop so they can act on information the Underwear Bomber might have given them.

Isn't it interesting, that depending on who is in power, you can accuse the other party of politicising national defence issues. Isn't that what Bush and his cronies used to do to anyone who apposed them? We sure hated it then, and now we have the power and fall into the same trap.

Isn't this guy politicising national defence just by bringing up the subject on National TV.

When are we ever going to elevate the debate, and make it about the issues and not your opponant?

Well, it is the same game the Democrats were doing while Bush and Co was in charge. The difference is, and the ONLY difference is, that Obama isn't having people detained for years without trial and the Right hates that.
