Is USA Today Serving the Goals of Al-Qaeda?

USA Today ran an editorial on the Obama administration's handling of terrorism, writing: "Officials' handling of the Christmas Day attack looks like amateur hour." Obama administrator Deputy National Security Adviser John Brennan replied: "Politically motivated criticism and unfounded fear-mongering only SERVE THE GOALS OF Al-QAEDA." Got that? The Obama administration considers ANY criticism of its national security policies, even from as benign a source as USA Today as serving "the goals of al-Qaeda." First Brennan asserts the terrorist was thoroughly interrogated and "provided important information." But just one sentence later Brennan admits: "The most important breakthrough occurred when Abdulmutalib was read his rights." So which is it? Was the first interrogation so thorough that no useful intelligence was lost, or did "the most important breakthrough" come OVER A MONTH LATER, giving al-Qaeda a month's head start?

Despite his impressive title it's clear that Brennan has become a partisan political hack for Obama. He also accused Sen. Kit Bond and an array of Republicans of "serving the goals of al-Qaeda" because of their questioning of the administration's bungled and incompetent handling of an act of terrorism. This is worse than the worst McCarthyism. At least McCarthy realized that communists in our government represented a REAL threat.

I doubt if “the goals of al-Qaeda” include undermining Islam's ally in the White House.

Al Qaeda is using the Obama admin's incompetence as a recruiting tool.

Nah...I don't have proof of that, but progressives make such claims without a shred of proof for their claims and they don't have a problem with the practice.

Gee, and here I thought dissent was the highest form of patriotism.

I’d like to hear these guys articulate what the goals of Al-Queda are.
