Obama, Holder split on terror trials
The Daily Caller ^ | 12/19/2011 | Neil Munro

“This is classic Sherlock Holmes ‘the-dog-didn’t-bark’ evidence” of cooperation between the progressive groups and the administration, Rivkin said. The groups “are always bitching about [legal] impunity, and how impunity encourages aberrant behavior and weakens deterrence,” he said. “So where is their outrage? Why are they not criticizing a war criminal going free?”

If U.S. troops had committed war crimes and were let go, Rivkin told TheDC, “wouldn’t every newspaper in the country be horrified and slamming the administration? How is it better to let an enemy war criminal go [free] to be hailed and praised?”

Obama, Holder split on terror trials

So put Holder on trial and send Obama to Gitmo. What's the problem?

The difference is MAJOR. Holder wants to let the terrorists go and Obama wants to let the terrorists go and get a multi-million dollar payment for their troubles. It's a matter of compassion.

Really? What to do with Terrorist since the country said do not bring them here? They are arguing about how to let them go? How about arguing on how to put them down? Or else argue about how much it costs to keep them at Gitmo? Let's argue about what they might be able to do for us while working at Gitmo for free room and board for the rest of their lives?

How about we give them 5 gallon buckets and have them bring sea water from the beach to dry land for the rest of their lives. This will combat the rising sea levels we should start seeing from man made global warming.
