Security Breach at Hospital Holding Terror Suspect; Reporter Gets Within Feet of Bedridden Bomber
Saturday, December 26, 2009 | Kristinn

Posted on 12/26/2009 8:41:46 AM PST by kristinn

The Obama administration will have a lot to answer for after its bumbling federal law enforcement agency allowed a reporter to get close enough to the hospital bed of terror suspect Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab to have killed him if that was his intent.

Abdulmutallab is being held by the U.S. Customs and Border Protection agency after he was badly burned in a reported failed attempt to blow up Northwest flight 253 on its approach to Detroit from Amsterdam yesterday.

The Wall Street Journal reported the incident in an article published here:

On Saturday morning, the suspect appeared to be sleeping when a reporter approached his corner room in the burn center at the University of Michigan Medical Center in Ann Arbor.

Down the hall, other patients were resting in rooms decorated with garland and tinsel for Christmas. A few visitors moved about freely.

The suspect's room was darkened and he lay motionless in bed. His head, with close-cropped hair, was turned away from the door.

Two uniformed customs and border-patrol officers were seated outside the open door and other security officials and hospital staffers were gathered in a nearby conference room.

When the reporter identified himself, a man in a suit and tie said the area was "secured" and ordered the reporter to leave immediately. The man declined to identify himself and he and one of the uniformed guards escorted the reporter to a hospital waiting area. Moments later the man in the suit returned with a hospital security guard, who told the reporter to leave the hospital grounds.

Anyone who has seen the first Godfather movie knows this type of incident is probable and preventable.

Outside of a hospital setting, the infamous deadly shooting of President Kennedy assassin Jack Ruby while in police custody in Dallas is burned in to the nation's conscience--but apparently not the Obama administration.

The level of incompetence of this WH staff is really of great concern to me.After 8 years of the adults in charge we have a BS artist for pres and a bunch of cronies and political hacks in control. Anybody who voted for this joker has done a great disservice to the USA. At least Hillary had a clue.

But.....Obamaba discourages action, so it is an Oba-Hussein influence preventing confrontation with Moslems.

Actually in real life if nowhere near medical help you urinate on the burn. Reduces pain and puts a “skin” on it faster.

Apparently, if I remember correctly, urine is alkaline.

If you touch something hot with your fingers (without a real burn) grab your earlobe to quickly reduce pain.

Brainwashed perhaps. Oba-Hussein is indoctrinating children as per Hitler brown shirts in schools but starting much younger from the age of five..

Al Qaeda would love to destroy the foundations of America, including our Constitution, principles like “innocent until proved guilty,” etc. I take it that you agree with that, eh?

Sad, but clear, that Obama,Inc. and the Left share the same goals. Both are enemies of America.

Repubs had better speak up and out (probably a sarc tag needed here/sigh).

The only changes really needed in airport security are those that begin with the Homeland Security and TSA own decision making per their internal MO's. How about we make THESE folks in charge, uncomfortable, rather than our paying a price for their incompetence?

(Again, why, why, why were so many gates left unchecked? More damning PC as in Ft. Hood; the judgments of 'Liberals' who never met an enemy they did not like; and/or some 'subtext' from a Muslim friendly Administration that lowered the bar? Are we paying a price for 'Obama's' name?

Does Obama walk lightly here; does he keep a 'blind eye'; knowing 'crisis' of any kind, will ultimately serve him?)

This privileged man was passed off as a poor Nigerian trying to escape to a better, safer life; and despite his name/address; he was successful. And a great many people are alive today, thanks to a 'malfucntion' and perhaps as well, to a brave passenger on the plane.)

What will the Gov story be? We have only to wait and see how they handle this 'young man' - so called. Thank God he was not nineteen or we would hear that a 'teenager' had been arrested.

“When there is/hasbeen a fire on the aircraft, you get off of it at the first opportunity.”

The very first thing that came to my mind when I read that, too!
