Attorney General Eric Holder went ahead and released secret documents that the current CIA director (Panetta) and the previous two directors all wanted kept secret. This docudump is all a political calculation to bring back the specter of George W. Bush, please the far Left, and distract for the collapsing health care takeover plan. Holder also plans on pursuing prosecution of CIA personnel who did their best to keep us safe. Make no mistake, President Barack Obama is completely on board with this. The Attorney General serves at the discretion of the president.
Meanwhile, Holder decided against prosecuting members of the Black Panther Party who stood outside polling stations with clubs, shouting obscenities and threats at white people. This voter intimidation was clearly a violation of election law. If it had been done by the KKK, the national outcry would be deafening and Holder would rightfully throw the book at the violators.
Message to Mr. Holder: Justice is justice. Holder is releasing the documents and pursuing prosecution of CIA personnel to make a point that if the US allows torture we're no better than the terrorists. Holder needs to understand that if he doesn't prosecute Black Panthers, he's no better than Bull Connor.
All of this is being done under Barack Obama's leadership. This president likes to pass off the responsibility for things on others, but either he's a leader or just a figurehead. Mr. Obama should have the courage to say what he wants or doesn't want, but he is a master of calculated misdirection, doublespeak and cynical politics.
I'm not dumb enough to fall for it. Hopefully the majority of American people won't be so dumb in 2012.
The Black Panthers do 0bammy’s bidding and serve as useful purpose to him, by helping him control elections. He thinks the CIA is good only for appeasing the radical left by serving a whipping boys for the perceived wrongs of Bush.
Don’t forget Marc Rich and the FALN terrorists. Apparently murder, theft, fraud and voter intimidation all pale in comparison to the act of lying to terrorists in an attempt to scare them. I guess in a time of scarce resources the DOJ has to prioritize.
I just feel sorry for the individual agents who are going to be led away in cuffs at the end of day as surrogates for those the administration really wants to jail, but knows it couldn’t get away with, at least not yet.
This anti-American administration has to be flushed out of office, down the sewer where they came from!!!!!!
Can we impeach him yet?
Don`t forget ACORN organization.
It will be an unmitigated disaster for Zer0 if we have a terrorist attack any time during his term as what this displays (as well as his publicized deemphasis of the War on Terror) is a lack of regard for the protection of this country.
No president could survive that event, and he will have only himself to blame.

Obama is our philosopher-king.
