Exclusive: Pentagon Lawyers Push Back Against Holder’s GITMO Attorneys

| Quote: | Some Defense Department lawyers are worried. .... They see a train wreck coming with the Obama administration’s evolving
Guantanamo Bay detainee policies. Since it is DOD lawyers tasked with much of the footwork for administration decisions, they see firsthand how
disorganized, inept, and ideologically extreme the handling of the issue has been. The DOJ, now thoroughly politicized and partisan under Eric Holder,
is lock step with Obama’s White House ..., and is thoroughly at odds with ... counterparts in the DOD. ...
What DOD lawyers are worried about are second-order effects. Namely, the unanticipated consequences of decisions made without due consideration or
examination of facts. ... deeply concerned that the administration’s political appointees making decisions ... are as likely to be chosen for
ideological purity as ... their acumen on applicable laws. The political appointees are perceived by many in the DOD as caring more for their
political ideological creed than for the safety of US citizens, or ... stewardship of tax dollars. |
The clowns are running the circus,  .
I wonder whether some of these now-concerned lawyers were among those who undermined the Bush Administration ... whether, just maybe, they miss former
Pres. Bush yet.

| Quote: | It
is a universal political truth that administrations do not begin to fragment when things are going well: it only happens when they go badly, and those
who think they know better begin to attack those who manifestly do not. The descent of Barack Obama's regime, characterised now by factionalism in
the Democratic Party and talk of his being set to emulate Jimmy Carter as a one-term president, has been swift and precipitate. It was just 16 months
ago that weeping men and women celebrated his victory over John McCain in the American presidential election. If they weep now, a year and six weeks
into his rule, it is for different reasons.
Despite the efforts of some sections of opinion to talk the place up, America is mired in unhappiness, all the worse for the height from which
Obamania has fallen. |
Interesting, isn't it, that the harshest words about the Obama Administration often come from foreign journalists?
This guy doesn't play favorites -- he criticizes practically everything in America in his column.
My favorite is his assessment of Fox News -- insinuating that Fox exhibits no sign of impartiality in its constant drumbeat to stir up the American
people and that it "pours out rage 24 hours a day" and is stirring up political activism against President Obama.

| » Obama to chart new health care reform path next week |

| Quote: | President Barack Obama, eager to complete his historic but embattled drive to remake US health care, will next week lay out a
new way forward for the reform effort, the White House said Friday.
Obama, likely to speak Wednesday, has joined his top Democratic allies in the US Congress to say he hopes for Republican support but will proceed with
or without their backing after vainly seeking converts in a summit this week.
"The president's been working on this issue for months, more than a year. So, obviously his desire is to see something that improves the lives of
the American people soon," White House spokesman Robert Gibbs told reporters.
Gibbs said Obama was taking into account proposals his Republican critics made at the unusual day-long summit he hosted Thursday but otherwise gave
few details of what the president would say about his top domestic priority. |
This new "path" will fail just like all the other ones have:
He refuses to consider any of the suggestions the GOP have made to improve the bill -- and he doesn't care one bit what the American people want.
So I see another failure in the works.
