ERIC HOLDER PRESSER ON THE ARREST

Shazad was attempting to board a plane to Dubai when arrested.

When Holder has a presser in the middle of the night, it's something.

[ScoopAmma]

No, he was busy working late on the New Black Panther case when the information came across. He just wanted to get this little glitch out of the way so he could, once again, concentrate on responding to letters and subpoenaes. So many cases, so little time.

Obama trying to cover his *ss for all of his imcompentence. I don’t care how many news conferences Eric Holder holds we are in a freaking mess with these people pretending to run the country!

[kcvl]

Better break out the waterboards Eric.

OH NO! We can't insult the TERRORIST! Someone may not like us!

[50cal Smokepole]

Geez.
Those Amish sure have unusual names.

[Defiant]

He just rejected my friend request!

[EternalVigilance]

There are several there with the same name. But if that is the one, I hope someone’s checking out his 115 “friends.” There are a whole bunch of Attas and Muhammeds and Faisals and Hameeds and the like.

“I can’t help cynically wondering if Holder’s middle of the night “on top of it” press conference is a diversion to help deflect criticism of the Administration being so slow to react to the oil spill.”

Well, they've certainly a lot of fires to stomp out at the same time lately. It may be that they're just trying to show that they can do something right. However, with their stance towards terrorism, they've plenty of skeletons in their terrorism closet to be concerned about.

What I can't help thinking, is that they're extremely disappointed that this guy wasn't some white cracker, tea party type. Then they might have had a desirable outcome that aided their statist agenda. A Pak national (reputed to be naturalized US) is hardly an advertisement for the admins “nice guy” attitude towards the world's Muslim nutjobs. The only way it could have been worse was if this guys first name was Mohamed.

Just pray. They’re into cya mode.

I think this is just the beginning. I think they have more than enough to destroy this country and they mean to do just that. When are people going to wake up to the reality of what is going on right under our noses? The protests were just a cover up to get people’s minds off what is really going on.

[ReignOfError]

Is there any evidence that this is THE Faisal Shahzad? He’s the first one to show up in a search for the name, but I got to 150 people named Faisal Shahzad or Shahzad Faisal on Facebook before I got bored.

[Outlaw Woman]

Let me guess, Shahzad Faisal is the guy's adopted name right? He was really born Joe Wilson. And that tinge of his skin...well that is due to the tanning booth. Really, there just has to be a white guy in there somewhere!!

[onyx]

We can’t even trust them. The entire adminstration is incapable of telling the truth, beginning with the zero at the top. It’s as sickening as it is outrageous.

[Brown Deer]

Complete with his picture...

and 115 friends!

Let's hope the FBI is paying attention.

[Thunder90]

Holder is probably pissed that it wasn’t some Tim McVeith wannabees doing the bombings.

Interesting .. is it in English?

[JSteff]

“Is he volunteering to be his pro bono defense lawyer?”

There are 10 ACLU attorneys who are dueling 10 others to have the right to represent this suspect. The duel happens tomorrow morning at dawn and will be broadcast on CNN and MSNBC.

Gibbs will drop the hanky to get them shooting.

Personally, I hope the all are accurate and just shot each other.

[STARWISE]

Wonder if the authorities have it ..

[STARWISE]

Yes, they are.

And our butts are at risk.
