More and more are screaming about Obama/Holder coddling of terrorists

One should get credit for doing the right thing. One gets some, but less, credit for ceasing to do the wrong thing. One shouldn't get credit at all for being STOPPED from doing the wrong thing. What does one deserve when he has to be dragged, kicking and screaming, from doing an obviously wrong thing?

It Is Time To Prioritize Security Over Terrorist Rights The Heritage Foundation
Yesterday, the White House ordered the Department of Justice to begin considering places other than New York City to host the civilian criminal trial of 9/11 ...terrorists. The New York Times describes..."a retreat by the administration" and reported that the Obama administration "was scrambling"... latest bit of self-inflicted national security chaos comes after Obama ally New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg announced yesterday that he did not want KSM's trial in Manhattan. ...Six Senators, including Sens. Joseph Lieberman (I-CT), Blanche Lincoln (D-AR), Jim Webb (D-VA), John McCain (R-AZ), Susan Collins (R-ME) and Lindsey Graham (R-SC) all signed a letter...Perhaps that is why the President did not mention KSM during his State of the Union address. Last week, the nation's top intelligence official, Director of National Intelligence Dennis Blair, told a Senate committee that the Obama administration was wrong to question Flight 253 would-be-bomber Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab with civilian law officers instead of using specially trained interrogators from the recently-created High-Value Detainee Interrogation Group...These concerns were then echoed by 9/11 Commission heads former-Gov. Thomas Kean (R-NJ) and former-Rep. Lee Hamilton (D-IN), who said U.S. intelligence agencies should have been consulted before Abdulmutallab was granted constitutional protections under U.S. law, known as Miranda rights, and initially stopped talking to investigators.Americans don’t think terrorist deserve constitutional rights. Americans also know that military commissions are fair.
