Justice Department officials are firing back at Republican critics who have accused them of being soft on terror, saying they are the ones putting American lives at risk.
The comments are the first time that Justice Department officials have struck back publicly after being on the defensive for months.
In a recent hearing on Capitol Hill and in separate interviews with Fox News, high-ranking Justice Department officials said new efforts by Republicans to ban or limit the use of civilian courts for terrorism suspects would damage the U.S. government's ability to obtain intelligence and thwart potential attacks.

The republicans aren't in charge of anything. On the other hand, the justice department would mirandize Osama if they were to catch him. Tell me again about who is weak on terrorism.

Are they talking about the RINO’s or Republicans? Even the RINOs are better than the 'rats on national security issues, in most cases.

And which political party started bitching about waterboarding and removing Gitmo because the terrorists would “get mad at us”?
Boy, I wish Republicans were as ballsy as the pResident who bows down to every foreign leader (and Tampa Bay mayor)...

ROTFL!!!!
It's stuff like this that makes me think that legalizing drugs is not a good idea. Even if we do "tax the hell out of them" like the potheads always recommend.

If it would make those officials sleep well at night to think that- so be it; but the American people (even the libs) know the truth.
