The Obama administration will have a lot to answer for after its bumbling federal law enforcement agency allowed a reporter to get close enough to the hospital bed of terror suspect Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab to have killed him if that was his intent.
Abdulmutallab is being held by the U.S. Customs and Border Protection agency after he was badly burned in a reported failed attempt to blow up Northwest flight 253 on its approach to Detroit from Amsterdam yesterday.
The Wall Street Journal reported the incident in an article published here:
On Saturday morning, the suspect appeared to be sleeping when a reporter approached his corner room in the burn center at the University of Michigan Medical Center in Ann Arbor.
Down the hall, other patients were resting in rooms decorated with garland and tinsel for Christmas. A few visitors moved about freely.
The suspect's room was darkened and he lay motionless in bed. His head, with close-cropped hair, was turned away from the door.
Two uniformed customs and border-patrol officers were seated outside the open door and other security officials and hospital staffers were gathered in a nearby conference room.
When the reporter identified himself, a man in a suit and tie said the area was "secured" and ordered the reporter to leave immediately. The man declined to identify himself and he and one of the uniformed guards escorted the reporter to a hospital waiting area. Moments later the man in the suit returned with a hospital security guard, who told the reporter to leave the hospital grounds.
Anyone who has seen the first Godfather movie knows this type of incident is probable and preventable.
Outside of a hospital setting, the infamous deadly shooting of President Kennedy assassin Jack Ruby while in police custody in Dallas is burned in to the nation's conscience--but apparently not the Obama administration.
all faces have been blurred.
Comedy of errors, theater of the absurd....
Great security we have in the USA, right?
I think I saw that in an episode of "24".
“Two uniformed customs and border-patrol officers were seated outside the open door”
and stopped the reporter from entering or doing anything.
If he had entered and placed a Care Bears sticker on the suspect’s head or even pulled out a camera I would be concerned.
And how is this Obamas’s Fault?
No problem. Just declare open season on idiot reporters. If another one is caught trying this crap drag him into the parking lot and shoot him or her dead.
No kidding, they're all out snooping on us the patriots and Canadians. Tragedy is coming and it will be Obama's fault this time
Maybe there are ties to Obama he wants kept quiet. Maybe this was not a accident. Maybe a test run?
I have to disagree, water board him until we have all the information.
Then feed him to the hogs.
We have quickly learned the level of competency from the affirmative action, concealed college grades, community organizer.
Similarity with black African muslim terrorist—will subconsciously register with some voters.
Repeated security blunders take us back down Maslow’s hierarchy. Democrats can't be trusted with national security. Tell your friends, neighbors and workmates.
He’s in deconfuse mode expected to take weeks.
I take it Jack Ruby was the one on the grassy knoll?
So true!
YES, LEFTISTS IN HOLLYWOOD ARE BEING CONSULTED.
What will “we” have him say?
“They threatened to kill my whole family if I did not carry the bomb....”
Roll out the idiot compassion and bleeding heart liberal “no charges” laid syndrome.
Obama says so.
We had Christmas dinner with my 5th cousin and his family and the in laws. With the exception of his mother in law, himself and me the others are all a bunch of “moderate” touchy feely types. They are honestly good people but refuse to see the embers. And they are going to be the most surprised of all.
