Holder’s Craptastic ‘Effective Terror-Fighting Weapon’: Lawyers

Yeah, that really has the Islamic terrorists shaking in their turbans.

Centrist and right-of-center national security experts reacted with contempt to Attorney General Eric Holder’s claim at a legal convention that the courts are the nation’s “most effective terror-fighting weapon.”

“That’s utter nonsense … it is simply lunatic,” said Ralph Peters, military analyst, author and former Soldier. In the war against the jihadis, he said, the courts “have been totally ineffective when they’re not outright destructive.”

“He’s unconsciously shilling for his own profession,” said Michael Rubin, a Middle East expert at the American Enterprise Institute. “Holder, like many ambitious bureaucrats, wants to build a bureaucratic empire … [and] by doing so, he will get Americans killed.”

On Sunday, Republican Senate Leader Mitch McConnell added his voice to the criticism. “The attorney general said the other night our biggest weapon in the war on terror was the U.S. civilian court system,” he said on CBS’ Face The Nation. “ I don’t know what planet he’s living on.”

Holder’s declaration came in a Thursday speech to hundreds of progressive lawyers, advocates, judges and students gathered at the American Constitution Society’s annual gala. “I know that – in distant countries, and within our own borders – there are people intent on, and actively plotting to, kill Americans,” he told his legal peers in the enthusiastic audience. “Victory and security will not come easily, and they won’t come at all if we adhere to a rigid ideology, adopt a narrow methodology, or abandon our most effective terror-fighting weapon – our Article III [civil] court system,” he declared to much applause.

Holder’s (and Obama’s) jackassery knows no bounds. This is the same DOJ chief who refuses to prosecute CAIR’s terrorist facilitators or Black Panther thugs, and who gives foreign terrorists Miranda Rights, and wants to try them in civilian court.  Khalid Sheikh Mohammad tried to use that tactic but since GW was president at the time, he didn’t get away with it.

However, the Obama regime will harass the CIA interrogators who saved American lives.

Our biggest and most effective weapon is the United States military, not a bunch of shit-eating leftwing activist lawyers who pander to Islamic zealots in the name of “justice”.

2012 cannot come soon enough.
