"We got distracted a bit, I think. Everybody from the president on down got distracted, and we weren't paying full attention to this area, and so these things were allowed to develop, cracks were allowed to form and things got a little off track."
"I assume that they're actually going to follow the statements, and that he is now going to pay strict attention to this problem. And no matter what else is going on, he's going to be, his leadership is going to be called for in this area and he's going to, I assume he's going to exercise it. But it's not gonna happen without that. I mean, he's gotta stay on top of this."
"This is not just about prosecuting an individual. This is protecting the American people. And decisions of this kind should never have been made without the full input of the greater intelligence community, particularly the DNI (Director of National Intelligence) ... and the fact that this was done without that kind of consultation was to me upsetting and shocking... I just don't believe this individual should have been given all these rights or the lawyers before being questioned fully."
"I think we have to be guided by the principle that we have to get all the intelligence we can from these people. That's the principle. There did not seem to be a policy from the government as to how to handle these people. This is a difficult business: interrogating people. And you better make sure you have the right people asking the questions.
"An awful lot is at stake in finding out all you can."
"This is an area where the legislative branch and the executive branch have failed. Flat out failed."

The Obama Administration was busy on a higher priority security related issue, prosecuting those who protected America during the Bush era.
I agree-they see what we see-but they are planning what agenda they can advance when we are attacked-or someone ELSE is.
All they believe in is money and power; THAT is what they will protect-not Americans.
They won’t get away with it. Some day those chickens are going to come home to roost. They almost did on Christmas day when the panty bomber tried to take down an airliner. The only good news in this, if there is any, is that a lot of people who voted for Zero are going to find out personally, directly, up in their faces why that vote was a really bad idea.
The metaphor of "the switch" is irrelevant; the Won is a Trojan Horse.
They are going to get us killed...
He’s a muzzie. Not only does he not care if we are attacked, he wants it. Making the statement that he would “stand with the muslims if the political winds blow in an ugly direction” is proof. All muzzies welcome attacks on “infidels” They either come right out and say it, or they lie. This has been matter of fact for thousands of years. There is nothing he would like any better than to become a Stalin type dictator and purge our society of non muslims. Pray he doesn’t succeed, and fight every step of the way.
I certainly said it during the election. Barry Obama WILL get Americans killed. He doesn’t have a freaking clue and is completely willfully ignorant of the threat against our country.
He is one of those nutters that thinks that not only did we deserve to get hit on 9-11, but that we did it to ourselves.
I can honestly say Barry disgusts me. I can’t say what I truly think, that would get me banned for life for sure.
I wonder what plan Obumbles has in place in response to Iran’s threat for Feb. 11, 2010?
Only out of desperation to save his own bacon. But his people and his White House are so inept, I sincerely doubt they’d be up to the task.
