NY Post: “Whose side is the Justice Department on: America’s or the terrorists’?” <\/a><\/p>\n

From the January 27 New York Post<\/em><\/a>:<\/p>\n

\n

Whose side is the Justice Department on: America’s — or the terrorists’? <\/p>\n

It’s just insane that a lawyer who defended Osama bin Laden’s driver and bodyguard — and who sought constitutional rights for terrorists — could be one of the Obama administration’s top legal officials. <\/p>\n

[…]<\/p>\n

Lawmakers on Capitol Hill are hopping mad about the situation — and rightly so. Months ago, Senate Judiciary Committee member Charles Grassley asked Attorney General Eric Holder to disclose who in the administration had previously represented or agitated for alleged terrorists. <\/p>\n

The AG’s reply? <\/p>\n

“I will consider that request.” <\/p>\n

Holder must be thinking long and hard — because committee members have yet to receive a response. <\/p>\n

Meanwhile, they’ve started asking other questions of Justice — like who came up with the brilliant idea to Mirandize undie-bomber Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, limiting the amount of intelligence he might provide about al Qaeda and future attacks. <\/p>\n

With high-profile terror cases coming up — like Abdulmutallab’s, and the outrageous Khalid Sheik Mohammed trial in New York — Americans need to know: Is our government putting in a good-faith effort when it comes to punishing the men who want to blow up our people? <\/p>\n

The call to treat terrorists like civilians in court has been all Team Obama. <\/p>\n

Which means the president and his administration also owe the American people an answer: Is the government’s prosecutorial deck stacked in favor of the terrorists? <\/p>\n

A Justice Department spokesman, Dean Boyd, tells The Post that the department will be responding to Sen. Grassley’s request “very soon.” <\/p>\n

Will it be soon enough? <\/p>\n

It’s time for Holder and Justice to come clean. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
