Janet Napolitano: Eric Holder didn't tell us about plan to try KSM in NYC
Politico ^ | 2/24/10 | KASIE HUNT

Attorney General Eric Holder didn't consult the Department of Homeland Security before he made plans to try alleged Sept. 11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed in New York City, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano said Wednesday.

"We were not consulted before, but we have been part of a process to do cost estimates of what the security costs would be after the decision was made," Napolitano told Senate Homeland Security Chairman Joe Lieberman.

Hmmm, Janet, you didn’t know you would be one of Obama’s sacrifices just as the other cabinet members are.

"” The buck never got here.”

I think in this instance, it really didn't. Holder, in all his glorious arrogance and hubris, did this unilaterally. In fact, he boasted about it shortly after making the decision public. It underscores his stupidity that he didn't think that would be a problem.

Of course that doesn't excuse Napalitano who should have proactively and in writing made it clear to Holder why she thought it would be a bad idea, if indeed she did think it was a bad idea. They're both cabinet level officers, she didn't need his permission to voice her opinion.

Unbelievable! What happens WHEN there’s another terrorist attack? “I thought Eric was uh...” “Well I thought that Janet was going to um...” “Maybe Rham can er uh...” “Hillary, can you tell us what, you know...”

Good Lord, these people are stupid.

These idiots truly shouldn’t be in any kind of management position, let alone key national security posts.

Well maybe you should get up off your knees now, Janet.

Pretend you're a human being living in America and act like one rather than a bought and paid for politician.

Napolitano is such a Dolt.

And is it Holder that looks exactly like “Howard” on the Andy Griffith show years ago?

Nappy is scared for her job. She will go under the bus before Holder does. Holder knows where all the bones are buried ;-)

NO SHIT SHERLOCK!

Nobody tells Napolitano anything. She’s a complete idiot and incompetent. Oh yes, an Obama appointee and asskisser.

That explains it all.
