Obama Team Still Not Terrorist Ready

Roanoke Times, 1-21-10, HIDDEN in tiny print back on page 9 under an ambiguous title:
Official misspeaks about readiness of new unit.
The handling of this item is a new Roanoke Times personal best in gross Slant and unprofessional conduct ostensibly for political cover for their partisan friends.
-
One year after taking office Obama and his team admitted to Congress that “we never thought about how to handle a terrorist caught on US soil”; and we don’t know who made the decision to process the Christmas plane bomber as a US common criminal but no one talked to us about it and our terrorist processing unit is not yet established or ready.
-
This admission of massive incompetence and malfeasance was made to Congress by: Homeland Security Chief Janet Napolitano, her two top assistants and Obama’s National Intelligence Director Dennis Blair.

Pointed Commentary by Byron York (who clearly doesn't work at the RT):
It seems like a pretty simple question. Who made the decision to charge Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, the accused terrorist arrested for trying to blow up a Northwest Airlines jet on Christmas Day, as an everyday criminal, as opposed to an enemy combatant?
After all, Abdulmutallab was trained by al Qaeda, equipped with an al Qaeda-made bomb, and dispatched by al Qaeda to bring down the airliner and its 278 passengers. Even though the Obama administration has mostly abandoned the term "war on terror," the president himself has said recently that the United States is at war with al Qaeda. So who decided to treat Abdulmutallab as a civilian, read him the Miranda warning, and provide him with a government-paid lawyer -- giving him the right to remain silent and denying the United States potentially valuable intelligence that might have been gained by a military-style interrogation?

Obama has not yet announced who made this incredibly stupid decision although “unnamed sources” indicate it was AG Eric Holder (why are we not surprised?).
-
Scott Brown, the new Republican(41) Senator from Massachusetts articulated the view of most Americans about this situation during his acceptance speech when he said our tax dollars should go to defeat terrorists, not to defend them: : Click to watch:
