Holder is holding the key position isn't he? He also has an interesting history ala Elian Gonzalez and those terrorists he helped with Presidential pardons. Then his "allegedly" unilateral decision to try GITMO detainees in Manhattan. That's probably the tip of the iceberg. Perfect position for surveillance, cleanup and info manipulation on political enemies.
No question that he's a loyal lefty willing to lay it on the line no matter how high the controversy.
Oh, yeah, letting the New Black Panthers slide too. Nice cover going there for that decision.
