Time for Thorns

An independent view on life.

Graham vs Holder…

leave a comment »

Sometimes I want to shake the famously quirky Lindsey Graham until his teeth rattle.   But every once in a while he is brilliant.

Yesterday was one of those times.   Watch  here as he absolutely slaughters Attorney General Eric Holder,  who was never able to provide any logical reason for transferring KSM and Co. to the civilian system,  despite hours of testimony.

I’m trying to find a clip of  Sen. Jon Kyle quoting from Andy McCarthy’s National Review article this week,  in which the latter accurately  described Holder as  “a lawyer whose firm is among those responsible for the litigation-driven delay that became a lawfare triumph for al-Qaida.”

Here is McCarthy’s  withering post on Holder’s performance as well.

Former Attorney General and Senator John Ashcroft thinks Holder  lacks authority to make such a decision.

And Terrence Jeffrey reminds us that  in May His Oneness said he’d use military commissions to try those who violate the rules of war.

The decision to bring the 9/11 plotters to New York is pure politics,  nothing else.
