President Barack Obama and his Attorney General Eric Holder issued conflicting statements on how captured Islamic terrorists should be treated.
Holder insisted that those like the Christmas day bomber will be handled under existing criminal statutes. This includes advising them of their right to remain silent. “We cannot sacrifice the rights of the accused to the notion that the safety of innocent victims takes precedence,” Holder said. “Saving lives may seem important to some, but preserving our system of jurisprudence has got to be a higher priority.”
On the other hand, President Obama asserted that “the idea that we can treat these people like common criminals is unwarranted. They are warriors who are merely conforming to their religious beliefs. Granted, the belief that one may kill unbelievers seems extreme to many Americans. Nevertheless, we must not allow ourselves to be narrow-minded about this. We must work toward a better understanding of our differences. Tolerance is the high road. It’s the road I am seeking to take in atonement for our country’s past transgressions.”

What are you talking about, oh weasly one?
This will probably happen in the near future.
Sorry A-hole(obama) I won’t tolerate these murderous bastards and I am pretty much incapable of tolerating the assinine mutterings that come from your cakehole.
Ya, ya, ya. I’m all in favor of giving them chocolate chip muffins in the morning too. “Is there anything else you want sir?”
They can’t both be wrong BUT...
Holder’s is the actual position of the Obama administration.
Gee the next thing they will offer to the terrorists is 71 Virgins as part of their rights. If the fail they get Paradise and if the succeed they will get it too. Give paradise here on earth as well as in a Muslim paradise (Hell). Such a nice Pissant and AG, rights for terrorists but imprisonment for legal citizens. Change and Hope you can believe in (for a terrorist).
Not a jury in America would vote to convict.
Holder, what’s up with you and terrorists?
In 1999 you freed 16 terrorists
behind 130 bombings

With full credit to you...I knew this was satire when I read the headline!!!
Purposeful confusion.
Truth beknown, Jack Squat and Holder agree on how to handle terrorists. If it had not been for the majority of American people in an uproar and what happened in Mass, Jack Squat would be touting how humane and such it is to parade them through our legal system under the rights that we normally give to only US citizens. Bet.
