President Obama believes that if we reverse course, apologize and are deferential enough, those ills will disappear. So far, it’s not working.
With the Detroit bomber we now have a clear pattern that reveals how the Obama administration deals with terrorists – try them in civilian courts with the full rights of American citizens.
When the young Mr. Abdulmutulib got off the plane in Detroit he had started talking to the FBI. He told them there were more like him -- that is, Yemeni trained suicide bombers -- coming to America. But once we granted him Miranda rights, he got him lawyered up and clammed up. Does Abdulmutullab know who the next terrorist attacker is, where he’ll strike, what weapons he will use? Now, we’ll never know. Yet Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano was quick to claim the "system worked."
Attorney General Eric Holder has decided to try Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the alleged mastermind of the Sept 11 attacks, in public civilian courts -- even though the evidence gathered against him might be thrown out of court, his testimony gives Al Qaeda a propaganda platform, and the trial presents a irresistible target for suicide bombers.
The Obama administration remains committed to closing Gitmo and releasing some of the prisoners to Yemen, though previous Gitmo "grads" have returned to Al Qaeda, rather than join the Yemen Rotary Club.
And Team Obama remains so committed to political correctness that they refuse to use profiling to identify potential terrorists.
Contrast this to the way they’re treating three Navy SEALs who succeeded in capturing an Iraqi terrorist. They’ve been courtmartialed for giving the terrorists a bloody lip.

"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction.
We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream.

or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children
and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free."
President Ronald Reagan
Extravagantly unqualified: Janet INCOMPETANO.
