Fallout from Christmas Day attempted terror attack continues
Charles Krauthammer has the details:
WH to Justice Dept: Let’s move KSM’s trial out of NYC
Via the NY Daily News (hat tip: Tom Maguire):
Marc Thiessen schools Christiane Amanpour on waterboarding
Former senior Bush administration official Marc Thiessen has been a machine over the last couple of years when it comes to setting the record straight on CIA interrogation tactics and how the “EIT”s (Enhanced Interrogation Tactics) like waterboarding, for example, actually did stop terrorist attacks and saved lives. Fortunately for us, he’s still at it this year, both with a new book on the issue and hitting the media circuit to talk about both it and the misinformation being spread by revenge-minded Democrats and their cohorts in MSM about what did and did not happen.
And it just keeps getting worse
Sigh. From a transcript of today’s press briefing with DHS Sec. Janet Napolitano and John Brennan, Assistant to the President for Homeland Security and Counterterrorism (via Keep America Safe):
Richard Reid and Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab: Double standard in reax?
Predictably, when they can’t defend our celebrity President’s decisions and actions, the left turns to the “blame Bush” game in response – and why shouldn’t they, when the President himself and his administration have set the example that nothing bad that happens is his fault? So far, most on the left haven’t been able to put up a solid, sensible defense of this administration’s poor handling of the attempted terror attack on the Detroit-bound flight 253, so their response is to … ridicule the Republican response to dear leader’s incompetency, and to point out alleged “double standards” when it comes to examining the GOP’s reactions to the aftermath of the attempted attack last week versus their response post-Richard Reid’s attempted attack back in December of 2001. Anything to deflect.
