Dangerous Decisions at DOJ (Townhall.com) March 5, 2010

A recent 5-page letter from U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder to Congress

 revealed the shocking news that nine lawyers in the Department of Justice represented terrorist detainees before they joined the Department. This would be like learning that the organized crime unit had hired nine mafia lawyers.

Even more amazing, Congress had asked for this information three months ago, and Holder said he’d “consider it.” No wonder Americans are losing confidence in the legal war on terror.

First came the plan to close Guantanamo, but no senators wanted the detainees in their home states. Then came the fumbled arrest of the Christmas bomber, giving him his Miranda rights like a U.S. citizen. The proposed trial of Khalid Shiekh Mohammed in NY at a projected security would have cost of $200 million. And now this.

Makes you wonder what they would do if they caught Osama bin Laden.
